    Cleaning my coop with horse pellets

    I have a concrete floor in my coop and have been using pine shavings. If I switch to horse stall pellets I've heard to wet it first? And how deep a layer should there be? Thanks.

    Unsexed mixed dual purpose from Hoovers Hatchery. About 6 or 7 weeks old.

    Thanks. They are bigger than the others I got so I couldn't figure it out.

    Unsexed mixed dual purpose from Hoovers Hatchery. About 6 or 7 weeks old.

    I'm wondering what breed this is. I THINK I have 3 roosters of whatever it is. Thank you.

    One of two 4 year old heirloom hens just died yesterday, can I integrate 5 week old babies I have now?

    One of two 4 year old heirloom hens just died yesterday, can I integrate 5 week old babies I have now?

    I've had my 15 8 week old chicks penned next to my 4 year old hens for 2 weeks. Yesterday morning I made an opening big enough for the chicks to go through but too small for the hens. A couple chicks have ventured in with the older ones but they are chased back into their little area. My...

    What breed is this pretty bird?

    I will tomorrow. I ordered 15 mixed unsexed chicks, dual purpose brown egg layers from Hoovers Hatchery and I have 3 that look like this. I'm thinking this one is a roo.

    Can you tell me what breed this is? It's larger than the other chicks of the same age. They are almost 2 months old. Thank you.

    Best coop light with timer? No remotes!

    I got a led light bulb with a built it timer off Amazon. It can stay on for 2, 4 or 6 hours before it turns off then comes on the same time every night. I have it to give them a couple hours of light in the winter so they keep m laying eggs longer. I have a light socket on the ceiling of my coop.

    Holy EGG!!

    Wow! I have 4 cinnamon queens that have been laying about a month. Their eggs are still quite small! I had to use 6 eggs to equal 4 large in a muffin recipe. I'm wondering if they are ever going to get bigger. I get 3 or 4 eggs a day from my 4 girls.

    Got first 3 eggs today from my flock of 12 pullets.

    I was so excited to find my first egg from my cinnamon queen pullets the day before yesterday. Today I got another mini egg, same nest box and think I know which was it is. It's gonna take 2 of these cute eggs to equal 1 but I don't care. Now for the others to start laying. Their combs have...

    All Six Hens Are Gone. What Killed Them?

    I had chickens year ago and never had a problem except an owl tried to pick a hen up. Of course then raccoons were hunted for their fur. Now we are overrun with the little buggers. They destroyed our sweet corn crop a few years ago. I appreciate your advice. Thanks so much!
