Thank you for your reply. Sounds like good common scents. We used treated wood for the framing and I was concidering using it on my inside partitions hoping it would deter roost mites. I will be using DE in the spots they chose to dust in [ they can free range as long as we don't lose to many]...

My ? is , if treated wood is used inside the chicken house does it prevent mites and lice from hiding on it? Also , is it toxic to chickens at all?

My guess is 7-31-13 at 44 minutes after 4pm

Maybe someone else has had a chicken that does the same thing. None of mine ever have, but I will be interested to see if someone else can figure it out.

My husband is telling me " two more weeks" till the coop will be ready-hope its no longer than that.

What time of the day are they laying? Maybe the white hen just wasn't ready to lay yet and then after you got the other egg , she just happed to be ready to lay her egg. Not sure about what kind of chicken the white one is, but she is very pretty.

Glad your chicks are eating their veggies and stuff. What kind of chicks are they?

Fancy Pants, I haven't forgotten about our chicks . I haven't got my coop finished yet but soon I hope! I saw your pictures of your C L and they are just BEAUTIFUL ! Can't wait. Did your chicks hatch yet? KarenFoster

I think they make the hens happy if there are not to many of them. I don't mind the crow if there aren't too many or too close to the house. Do you live in an area where it would bother the neighbors? The neighbors across the road from us already had a rooster ,so I don't think it will bother...

So very cute. I heard black birds don't get taken by hawks as much as other colors. Is that true?

As long as I get good eggs I'll be happy with them. Do the ones that are all white still lay brown eggs? Did you have to incubate your eggs or did some of your hens go broody?

Yes, Very beautiful! Quite a bit more rugged compared to Roane County . The encyclopedia calls where we are the Appalachian plateau . Plenty rough for me though and lots of wildlife. The people in the back of us filmed a bear underneath their deer feeder. The next picture shower no feeder at...

To Hilltop Farm, Yes , that was evident about day 5. The funny thing is that the grandkids named him 'Big Buddy' on the very first day! That's a picture of them as my avatar. I'm thinking he is the one in the back. I have to say I'm kind of glad to have a rooster. How are the 2cd generation...

Finally figured out picture posting I think. These are around 6 or 7 weeks. Very bad pictures, I'll try for better pictures later.

One of these little fuzz balls turned into a little roo. Got him out of the pullet bin at TSC. Thought red sex link males where supposed to be yellow! He turned yellow fairly soon after these pictures , hopefully I only got 1 HE!
