    Best feed I've found? Bartlett feed if you are around NC or the south.

    I have tried three different feeds and my hens would eat but not that interested. They would leave the feeder when they saw me. I switched to Bartlett pellets and now I can't get them away from the feeder. They ignore me if they are eating until their crop is full. I pay $16 a bag (50lb)...

    Impacted crop

    A shot of olive oil worked for me on one of my reds. Crop the size of a baseball was gone this morning. Thought I would be looking a surgery.....Thank God I'm not.

    Eyesight bad

    I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your hen. That has got to be hard to take. I will try doing something extra with just her. I keep her seperated now since she has gotton broody. I have given her extra time but will try your suggesstion. I guess it is not that big a deal since she does...

    Eyesight bad

    One of my Buffs cannot free range because she misses anything she tries to peck. Misses by 1/2 inch or more. She eats fine from feeder but can't come up with scratch or bugs and things. Is there anything to do to help her?

    will elderberries hurt chickens?

    I have an elderberry tree in my coop and berries are dropping. Birds eat them so can chickens?
