    Deep bedding

    In my opinion, and experience, they like a protected area preferably a coop. They like to perch up as high as they can in the coop, as a matter of fact there is a pecking order an the boss gets the highest point. I set all of my perches at the same height so they won't fight for the highest...

    If I may- chickens go in their coop to purch, sleep, lay eggs, that is if you have your nesting boxes in the coop and most of all a safe place to go. This makes their coop the main place to go. First of all chickens don't care and they don't have a care, where they poop. So to jump ahead of all...

    Need help taming an aggressive rooster

    Well, I got to tell you from my experience once he grows his ba__s he never goes back. He may loose all the fights he gets into with you, but just when you think he is done, he sneaks back behind you and attacks you. Unfortunately mine attacked too many times and now he has a slight limp. He is...

    Big Feeder

    Thank you for your input. I never thought about the feed going bad because they ate it too fast. I am going to watch the feed a little closer. It's not like the old days.

    I can't deny that myself. I am content with what we have and I don't need to go any where. But my wife likes to travel and I am ok with that but it is not a priority. Now I am in trouble and I probably won't hear the end of this statement. Please be nice

    For whatever reason, they eat a lot. They lay a lot of good eggs. I get several double yokers a week. Something must be right.

    It's hard to find someone to feed your animals let alone feed them right. My horses, cows and sheep all eat off of grass. I have good pasture feed almost year round. I don't believe in feeding them any grains or oats. They were designed to forage on grass not grain. They are plenty fat. The only...

    Can chicken feed go bad?

    When I made my Big Feeder I had 30 chickens. I am down to 20 now but still that's a lot of chickens to feed. They also free range. Even though they have access to pasture they like to scratch around in the dirt only areas. When I go out in the evening they follow me around because I give them...

    I used every feeder known to chicken farms (on a small scale) When I used a hanging feeder (so they won't perch on it) i t worked great but I still had to fill it twice a week. So I made a bigger feeder. Take a look and let me know what think. It holds 400lbs and it should last 6 months + The...
