I tried to use a unused kitty litter box. It didnot work the hens had nothing to do with it. I think the cat sent was still present. I have had more luck with dark colored tote boxes. Just cut a opening for the hen. When you gather the eggs just lift the lid to gather the eggs.
I have backyard chickens and lots of wondering cats. I have not had a problem yet. maybe babychickens would be a problem. everyone seems to mind their own business.
does she have feathers on her feet? I have two pullets that look like yours but have no feathers on their legs. I think mine are delewares. Nice calm chickens
I am not sure: two white with a touch of tan or dirt but she lays a light brown egg so she is not a white legern {sp} two red pullets and two delewares I think. If they lay eggs that is all I am concerned about. Ha
I live at Portales. I just started a new flock of pullets. I bought them local. I have six. About 2 or 3 to many. They are in my back yard and are very happy. Just my entertainment and a few eggs also.
Yes I researched the brand don't think I will treat my chicken feed forever.I think less is best if everything is going well.$20.00 not wellspent I think.
I bought durvet strike 111 dewormer,{Hygromycin B} the package says nothing about not eating the eggs, One little scoop per pound of feed. I dont know how long to continue to put in the laycrumbles.
