    Safe treats?

    I recently received a box of produce and other items and I was wondering if they are all safe items to feed my flock as treats. The box contains oranges, cherry tomatoes, yellow squash, zucchini, carrots, mushrooms, cabbage, brussels sprouts, green pepper, bananas, and cauliflower. Any...

    Sand versus Pine shavings

    My coop is approximately 13.5 feet by 11.5 feet. My run is approximately 12 feet by 32 feet. I am located in Wake Forest, North Carolina (the central or Piedmont section of the state). It is late Spring here. We have four distinct season with hot summers and moderate winters.

    What breed for egg laying?

    The type of feeder that I am using is pictured below. As well as peck feed out of the feeder they like to scratch at least half of it out. In my brooder, I have flaky pine shavings that are covered by two layers of paper towels. I read that this helps the chicks the first 4 to 5 days to keep...

    What breed for egg laying?

    I actually bought only 10 total. I plan on adding another 8 layers. My coop will accommodate about 36 chickens. Right now I am thinking I want about 18 layers and 18 to cull. I do not anticipate getting my meat bird until next year. I realize that I will get more eggs than I can consume but...

    What breed for egg laying?

    Thanks for your reply. I purchased 10 leghorns this past Thursday. I am pleased thus far. I wish I knew the secret to keeping them from scratching most of their feed from their feeder. I may be getting some Buff Orpingtons on June 8th.

    Sand versus Pine shavings

    When you say "deep bedding in the coop", how many inches are you talking about? When you say "deep litter in the run", what kind of material and how deep?

    What breed for egg laying?

    New status! On Thursday, 5/28/2020, I purchased 10 leghorns from Tractor Supply. This is my first experience with chickens since my brief exposure as a preschooler. I had gone to the location to do some comparison shopping for supplies (fount, feeder, heat lamp, etc.) and had no intention of...
