    My chickens won't eat oystershell...

    and today I got 3 softshell eggs! I only have five chickens, so this is a big problem. 2 other eggs were hard, but one was broken. What can I do if they won't eat their oystershell? They have a small trough for their grit and shell, and I also mix it into their crumbles once a week, but it...

    Petting Zoo.. Need a little help.

    I would REALLY reconsider the peacocks, unless you have an area where they can be looked at, but not approached. I worked at a zoo that had several peacocks running loose and they recently had to get rid of them after many years of having them there because they just couldn't take the stress of...
