Glad someone answered this earlier, as she will easy three softened food. She did a couple sunflower seeds as well. It looks like it hurts her to eat the regular food. Thank you for helping me to save betty. How long will I need to feed her softened food? I'm just wondering.
When we created our chicken run area we were prepared. We have hawks and eagles around, we did the entire run area with hardware cloth. It overlaps around the top. The cloth also got barried with cement patio blocks all the way around the run.
Ok, I've had these chicks since March. They've been laying eggs just fine till this weekend. I found two really small eggs (I've seen acorns bigger). Do I need to be concerned?
Sorry to sound stupid, but what is EYP? This is my first year having chickens. I have four RIR and two barred rock, they are about thirteen weeks along now. I love checking on them and discovered they love strawberries, blueberries, and frozen cherries.
I've had one land in my yard and pick up a small animal of some sort, not sure if it was a field mouse or mole. So ya, I have one nesting near by somewhere. I've seen it several times in the last few months. Here's a picture of it in the field across from my house.
