    What treat did your chickies get today?

    Why does this chicken like cat food? I see it is not a rare thing. I suspect it would affect their ability to produce good fertilizer. Anyone have input?

    HELP!!!!!!!!!!! ALL of my hens have stopped laying eggs!

    Maybe all of these laying issues are related to this virus and the increased price of eggs! My chicken used to lay huge double yoke eggs, now that she is alone (other clucks have been vics of predators) her eggs are rare and tiny, like quail eggs. Too strange.

    Scratch

    So exactly what is "Scratch" ? It seems based on this thread that it is a prepared (or you can make your own) chicken snack which is composed of; three grains and a protein.

    New; don't know what to do

    Oh Kelsie2290, Thank you so much for your advice and the helpful links. I knew I had some Dr Bonners peppermint oil soap, so I follow that with hot water. WORKED LIKE A CHARM, and I can feed the hens right on top of it. I am still finding new little holes all over the run and an occtional wasp...
