    ⠀ Winter feeding

    So essentially I am not messing up......I have 10 hens (2 of which are molting now, poor things). I give them Layena and also throw out scratch in the morning and a little at night......and a few treats a week......

    what do you mean by "extra energy"?

    ⠀ Feed during molting.....

    oh, I like that idea.....'fraud I would get pecked to death if the others saw me do it, but I could easily manage that.

    ⠀ Feed during molting.....

    I have a question, then, regarding this. What do you do if not all of your chickens are molting....without separating them, how can you feed just the few the higher protein foods

    Food question

    I'm sure that this question has been addressed at some point, but I can't find any specifics.... I have one chicken that has started to lay eggs and two that should be coming close to it in a few weeks. I understand that it is probably best to have them eat to the youngest birds age (in this...

    What feed do you reccommend I get and why?

    Just popping on to this thread now. My little chicken just started laying (I've gotten two eggs so far) and I dutifully switched her over to "big girl food"--the feed store recommending Home Grown Layer. The thing is, it really looks like she is not eating very much of it. I mean, she's...

    Disinfecting coop and run

    I lost most of my small little group of chickens to Mareks.....and now have one lone little girl remaining. I realize that she will probably need to stay on her own, but I still want to strongly disinfect the run and coop. I have purchased some Oxine, and am wondering what the recommended...
