    Multiple soft eggs at a time

    Thanks for the reply! I do have oyster shell out for them. Is it normal for 1 chicken to lay 3 eggs in one day?

    Diary of a Crossbeak: Support for Special Needs Chickens and their Keepers

    Woops, and I just realized you were asking about our feeder and not feed! Doh! :) We have it in just a basic mason jar chick feeder. I just fill the bottom with feed.

    Diary of a Crossbeak: Support for Special Needs Chickens and their Keepers

    Hello, Sadly we lost Octavia. She just wasn't getting enough feed, because of her beak. But we still do Fermented Feed with the others, we are using Scratch and Peck Chick Starter with water and a little tiny bit of Kombucha to kickstart the fermenting process. The chicks love it! Here's a...

    Diary of a Crossbeak: Support for Special Needs Chickens and their Keepers

    This thread is so encouraging to me!!! Thanks everyone for all of your posts! I'm a chicken keeping noob, and have a 2 week old EE girl with a cross beak. We're feeding her and the others fermented feed, but her face is getting all matted up. Any ideas on how to keep her more clean? It looks...

    What do you put fermented feed IN?

    I haven't tried that yet, I'll do that in the morning and see if it helps!

    What do you put fermented feed IN?

    Don't worry about the face. This is the best thing I've found for feeding FF to chicks. It's a reel top trough feeder. http://www.toolfetch.com/teksupply-106139-reel-top-plastic-feeder. Thanks! I'll look into that feeder!

    We've been on the lookout for playhouses as well! I couldn't tell from the photo how big this house was. Thanks for the idea! :)

    Pre-Fab coop? Yay or Nay?

    Thanks for the replies all! Good things to contemplate! I think we'll likely nix coop A from the list!

    Pre-Fab coop? Yay or Nay?

    Hey flock friends! My hubs and I have 6 chicks about 1.5 weeks old right now. We're trying to figure out what type of coop to go with. Maybe you more seasoned chicken folk could help in the decision making process? We found this one on Craigslist. Coop A: Chicken Coop Dimensions: Outside...

    Wichita Cabin Coop design computer models and material list

    Would you recommend these plans to someone who has little to no experience with building/woodworking? I love this coop, but have no experience building aside from putting together planter boxes. :) Thank you!
