    cleaning my coop

    I was cleaning my coop weekly. Scrapping all the Pooh and straw out and putting fresh straw down. Then I talked to the man I got my EE's from. He said cuz its getting close to winter, I shouldn't take the messy straw out. Just put fresh straw on top to build up a nice thick layer to help...

    ???organic???

    Yeah, the bag didn't say anything. It was completely white. This store mixes their own feed. I seem to remember my friend saying it was organic and I'm pretty sure she said it was complete. I don't know why, but I feel better feeding them crumble. I'll have to check around for afordable organic...

    Garden just for the Chickens

    My chickens love my grape vine but I think that tomatoes are their absolute favorite thing to snack. They also like acorn swash but it was cooked. Going to give them some baked sweet potato tomorrow : )

    ???organic???

    You hit the nail right on the head. My friend brought me a bag of what she was told was organic. However, it was 90% cracked corn and some powder stuff. I didn't like it. My chickens ate the corn and left all the powder. I really did not like it. Today I bought a bag of Purina chicken crumble. I...

    Holy chicken Pooh:) that's alot of info. You all have really done your homework. Thank you so much. These eggs are for me and my family but we eat as much organic food as possible. I guess these eggs are much closer to organic than most eggs I can buy in the store. That will have to be good...

    chickens make rooster noises right? :)

    I have 12 what I thought were chickens, and two roosters. Then out of the blue one of my EE's started making rooster noises. She is small, thinner and has a larger comb than the other EE's but there's nothing fancy about her. She looks just like a hen??? Tell me what you think.

    who's the better mama, me or the chicken?

    One more quick question. Am I just crazy? Should I just go out and buy pullets in the spring? I know that's two questions but you can disregard the first one. I already know I'm crazy.

    whiskey for my men, fish for my chicken

    Ok, so I read that chickens really love tuna and other canned fish. My son and I have been crawfdad fishing for the past few day, and occasionally we catch a small fish. Do you think my chickens would eat raw fish? Will to much fish make the eggs taste fishy? Can raw fish give them worm?(maybe I...
