    ADM Pen Pals Chicken feed....

    Hi there, Yes I too have used and will keep using the PenPals feed. I myself do not care for any Purina products and while I was buying a layer pellet due to a sale, I found my chickens ate way more...well the "cheaper" the feed the less nutrients so the more they have to eat to fill up. I...

    Nesting box question

    Do chickens instinctively know to just go into their nesting boxes to lay eggs? My girls are getting close to laying and not sure they’ve even gone into their boxes. Months back when first put in the coop they checked them out, but I just don’t want them laying eggs elsewhere. Is there anything...

    Hatchery recommendations

    I know that I asked this previously and cannot find the thread! Would like recommendations on hatcheries for ordering chicks to be shipped to me. Also, I'll be getting 4 new babies tomorrow or Thursday, if I order other ones and receive them a few days to a week after my newest ones, will there...

    Review by '' on item '5 Gallon Double Wall Fount'

    Really like this. Wanted something that was easy to fill, holds a lot, doesn't leak and keeps the water clean. This does the trick! I also like the look of it since I have similar for the feeder and both have that farm look and work great! I didn't want plastic, which can crack in the winter...

    They've moved!

    Hi everyone, So yesterday our 4.5 week old girls were moved to their new world and it was quite amusing to watch. All day they were outside in their brooder watching us and enjoying the outside (I've had them out before) They sure seemed happy to be able to stretch, fly and go way farther than...

    Thanks so much for the replies! Lavender and Mint, good idea since I love having lots of lavender around anyway, smells great and looks pretty!

    Some Q's for the group

    Hi everyone, wasn't sure what to put this under so decided on everything else. Have a few Q's that I could use some answers to. 1. For how long do you feed the medicated chick crumbles, just til the bag runs out and then go to something like "laying feed" or?? 2. Do most of you usher them all...

    Tomato poop?

    Thanks! No I didn't have a pic of it. However, today I haven't seen anything. There were really only about two like that, but scared me! Stands to reason what they would eat could do something. Glad (and hoping) it isn't there and everything is ok!

    Tomato poop?

    I hope nothings wrong. I gave my 4 wk old girls 2 small tomato’s today and I noticed a few reddish poops tonight. Is this from the toms or something else

    Help needed

    Yes. The HW cloth is secure to prevent digging and anything managing to get through with over 2’ of dirt on top of that

    Help needed

    Thanks for all the feedback. Our coop is 4x10 and very secure and the run area is probably about 13’x13’ now. I’m usually home and when we do go away I have a someone who can come over and check that the girls are in their coop. Should I close their little chicken door at night? My SIL leaves...

    Help needed

    Hi all. So the coop is just about done and it’s very secure and predator proof. I’ve also laid down hardware cloth inder coop and in entire run area and when run done that too will be secure. Well so I thought.....most people I know around here with chickens have used chicken wire for the run...

    My how they’ve grown

    Gosh I can’t believe how a little over 3 wks ago these were little puff balls! They’re really getting so nice and really planning to get them into their new world this week. As you can see they’re outgrowing their brooder! I’ve turned off the heat lamp since it’s registering pretty consistently...

    Info on Guinea hens

    Hi everyone, I'm told Guinea's help protect chickens. I currently I have 3 wk old chicks and would be looking to add a Guinea hen. Are these raised the same as chickens? They don't produce edible eggs do they? I assume I'd introduce a Guinea chick (and raise it the same) as the chickens or do...
