    Any Hawaii Folks on BYC?

    This week has been pretty crappy, so I'm happy one of my hens finally laid an egg. A couple of days before she laid, both of them were starting to squat, which I learned was a sign of submission. Before that, they were mostly skitchy when I put my hands anywhere near them. It's funny to watch...

    My chicken's toe is bleeding.

    One of my almost-6-week old chicks perched on my arm & I noticed blood; I thought she had scratched me again. Then I looked closer & I noticed blood was coming out of the tip of her right middle toe nail. I dipped her foot in some hydrogen peroxide, but it just kept bleeding. After a few...

    Any Hawaii Folks on BYC?

    Thanks! Yeah, I went to Asagi to buy some organic feed & I asked the girl there about it. Good to know. My chicks liked to scratch at & eat the pine shavings I had in the coop, so yesterday I transferred all of them to the poop drawer underneath. My sister bought some softwood bedding from...

    Any Hawaii Folks on BYC?

    I tried doing some research on "production browns", but I couldn't find much. At Asagi Hatchery, I saw a pic of the full-grown hens & they were reddish-brown in color. I think I remember one of the girls there saying they were a hybrid; do you know of what breed(s)? I put half a cap of ACV in...

    @2coopscounting Well they're still young, so the poop pretty much falls through to the bottom & the smell has been barely noticeable. For now, I put some cardboard over the hardware cloth & covered it with pine shavings 'cause I dunno the effects the hardware cloth would have on their tiny feet...

    Any Hawaii Folks on BYC?

    Hey guys, Salt Lake here. Nice to see some Hawaii people. I got 2 Production Browns from Asagi Hatchery & they're about 2 1/2 weeks old. I found this place near the hatchery called Green Hands of Aloha & I bought some food grade DE there. They also sell oyster shells in powder & chip form. The...

    I enjoyed keeping them indoors, but they learned how to jump out of the 66 quart storage bin I was using as a brooder & poop on the carpet, so it was getting a little messy. It's 73 degrees outside as I type this, but you can probably see the glow from the heat lamp in the 2nd to last pic, so...

    I may as well make my 1st entry into BYC a good one. This was the biggest construction project I had ever done since my high school woodworking class, so I was pretty proud of the end result. Basically, I got the chicken coop plans from a link in a YouTube video description. I was...
