    Coconut oil for my hens

    Good morning =) I think I'd wait until they are a bit older. Perhaps once they are off of the crumbles and eating a wider range of things. Hope they enjoy it as much as my girls did!

    Coconut oil for my hens

    Good morning, I just scoop a bit out when the oil is solid and try to give each girl an equal amount. They really love it so that part can be tricky! I don't give too much to each hen... maybe a teaspoon size of solid oil. Hope it is enjoyed by your hens as much as it is by mine =)

    Does my chicken have worms?

    I have three black sex links. Two of the girls began laying in mid-September but one (Marianne) has never laid. I have noticed that her legs are more yellow than the other hens. Also, her poops seem much smaller and her comb and face are a little more pale in color. I called my local feed...
