    12 Laying Hens-Gonzales, Louisiana

    $100.00- 7 Barred Rocks & 5 Golden Comets (All 1 1/2 years old & consistently lay 8-12 brown eggs daily). My disability, health and fatigue has become an issue since battling COVID in September. The price includes any feed, bedding (shavings), and misc items. I’m attaching some pics, but you can...

    Please tell me this is ANYTHING except mites or other bugs...

    Umm, yeah...what are you basing your numbers on @penny1960 ? Like @Krugerrand said, I have extra room for my girls. And, they only lay and eat in their coop, they actually roost in a tree that’s within their run. The run is enclosed and predator proofed from top to bottom

    None of my 12 have shown any signs of broodiness. As of yet, they’re all of the mindset of being foot loose & fancy free...absolutely no interest in being “Barefoot & Pregnant”, lol!

    I think tomorrow, I’ll grab my large black mixing tub & give them a temporary dry dust bath inside the coop. I’ll throw in sand, potting soil, wood ash & DE. That way at least they’ll have something to use until the run dries up some more. I see something similar to nest box wars in my near...

    So, I have one out of 12 girls that has an area on her chest where lots of the big “red” feathers have been pulled/picked/pecked out, leaving just the underlying down. As I sat & watched, I saw her pecking & preening the area & I saw one of my Barred Rocks (she’s the bully) peck at the area as...

    Picture Of The Week (POW) Information & Submissions

    Are nipple waterers hard to keep clean?

    Mine will avoid their 4 gallon waterer at any cost if they can fuss me into filling the incredibly small metal bowl hanging on their fence when I’m in the back yard!

    Are nipple waterers hard to keep clean?

    I am about to switch from gravity cups to horizontal nipples (all RentACoop brand), as the shavings & dirt floor now seem to stay continuously wet underneath. I really hope this transition goes more easily in real life than I see it going in my head since my girls are just over a year old and...

    Official BYC Poll: Where Do Your Chickens Dust Bathe?

    I used some pavers to wall off a corner of their run. In that corner, it’s filled with sand, pebbles and ashes left from bonfires, instead of the shavings & wood chips that make up the ground cover in the rest of their run. In case you’re wondering...yes, they use it regularly. As do they also...
