    Need help figuring out how old my chickens are

    I started mine with layer feed at 7 months! I have 3 chickens and have gotten 3 eggs daily since they started :) I slowly introduced and mixed it with crumbles at first - they are very healthy!

    Building run, Any suggestions?

    Thanks for the input! We have 3 chickens and the run is 10x4! Also we are going to put like a foot of dirt/grass leaves on top of the mesh as well as covering the mesh with landscaping cloth before filling? Any thoughts?

    deep liter method

    I also have a 4x4 coop...i use pdz and top with shavings...every couple days i stir it around and put a thin layer of shavings about 1x a week. I have had them in the coop for nearly 2 months and NO smell!! I was hesitant on trying the DLM but now i am sold and loving it!! Good Luck!!
