Tried something new and the flavor was 'BBQ' ..... it...

    Nest box.... to big?

    ah, so maybe I should let the hey mat down for while (I have been trying to fluff it up for them)? And I agree, the balls are to help guide them to where to lay eggs, not to get them to lay. My one girl is more developed than the other girls so I don't know if she will lay soon or not... I...

    Nest box.... to big?

    OK, One of my chicks waddle and comb has turned bright red in the past 2 days and from what I read that means she will lay soon. So I put in the box I made and put some hay in there along with 2 golf balls. When I got home today to check on things, the balls were buried and the hay was moved...

    Contemplating Turkeys

    cool thanks. I am planning on expanding to a bigger tractor next year or so and 80 bucks for a frame sounds great... ( I was thinking that hoop would be the cheapest, but this sounds like it is worth a look)

    A neighbor I have used to raise quail and has some feed left over and was kind enough to give it me to feed my chickens. My question to yall is the obvious "can chickens eat quail food?" now he don't know what brand or type or anything. It is grey in color and is crumbles.... Don't know...

    Anyone on a low budget X-mas this year?

    For us, this year is tighter than years past. Makes my argument to wife that we have spent to much on buying junk in years past all that much stronger.
