    Quinoa Fed To Chickens

    I am also wondering if it needs to be cooked. I bought a 5 pound bag of it and I don't care for it. I'm sure the chickens would enjoy it.

    my first chickens' first eggs at 16 1/2 weeks! :)

    thanks! they are just starting out and are egg laying machines! I have 6 chickens...got 5 eggs yesterday and 6 today. They seem much happier and friendlier now too. A couple weeks before they started laying they were kind of mean!

    my first chickens' first eggs at 16 1/2 weeks! :)

    So....my red sex links are just 17 weeks old today. They have been showing all the signs of being ready, (squatting, bright red comb, eating more...etc.) This is my first time having chickens but I've learned a lot from browsing around on backyard chickens. I have checked the nesting boxes daily...

    An update on little miss Shmoopy: She went to the vet on Monday. Monday night was rough for her, she was in a lot of pain. Thought I would have to take her to an emergency vet on Tuesday but she started showing signs of improvement. Last night she got out of bed to bark at the neighbor dogs and...

    Got sand? You should!

    I remember reading on this thread someone saying no. The chickens will eat it and it would be very bad. The sand is scoopable. I use a kitty litter scoop and it works great.

    Just got back from the vet. He said she has an intestinal infection and gave her an antibiotic and some medicine for her stomach. He said to only give her water today and tomorrow to give her boiled chicken and rice and plain yogurt and to keep her on a bland diet until she has recovered. She...

    I've heard about pumpkin being good for a dog's stomach. I have a recipe for pumpkin dog biscuits but I haven't tried to make them yet. I don't think I'd want her eating raw meat because I'd be concerned about the germs. Even if it didn't make her sick if she licked my son's face or something...

    That is good to hear. Maybe that is all that is wrong with her. Good to know. I'm starting to think pretty much all dog foods are junk. I have to say, yesterday and today she has only eaten real meat. Salmon and tuna yesterday, tuna and cooked ground beef today and she is acting so much better...

    Thought I'd share some photos of her: This was taken a few years ago, this is how she was sleeping sitting on the couch a few months ago, sunbathing most recent just a few days ago getting a bath

    Thanks, I will see if there is anything like that around here. If not, I'll be fine with paying for her vet check-up. She is past due anyways. I know, I appreciate your opinion and everyone else's. That's why I created this thread to hear everyone's advice and make an educated decision on...

    She's not itchy and I don't see anything abnormal between her toes. I did notice her sliding her butt across the floor the other night. That's the only time I've seen her do it, so I don't know. Thanks for the advice.
