Back story: Had two chickens, one was taken by a snake late last year. Got two more chickens this spring. One was taken by a snake. Resolved the snake problem.
Situation: The newer hen just began laying, but the older hen is not happy about it. It's obvious the newer hen is not using the...
At what point does a dog overdose on chicken poo????
Not a serious question, I don't think, but our new puppy needs an intervention. Passes up her food in favor of chicken poop!
Our two girls only go up into the roosting area if they are scared. They free range from morning until dark, and always sleep directly on the ground in the back corner of the lower part of the coop. It's going to be interesting when they start laying.
