    When we built our coop we went over everything with magnet rollers and rakes to insure we got everything out of the area. When they free range I watch them like the hawks do. But this girl was a picky eater, she had no desire to eat anything other than greens or layer crumble. A few bugs...

    Yes, but I’ll still strive for it. Keeping them protected and healthy is my main goal.

    I feed my birds a well balanced diet of multiple(3) brand feeds. They also eat from my home grown garden. Greens, spinach, lettuce, squash and on hot days melons and berries. I do give BSF on a daily basis, they get a cup between 21 hens.

    I have a tube feeder. And I have fed Emeraid IC Omnivore supplement in the past to my other bird. But this bag of supplement is expired. So I can make the mix of egg, yogurt and anything else….

    Reproductive issues

    Having a chicken go through reproductive issues in the past… it sure mimicks that. After I give her calcium she seems better. But nothing is moving inside. Crop is full of water. I have her in a quiet comfortable area. Access to everything her heart desires. Trying not to bother her with...
