    18-24 White American Bresse Hatching Eggs @ $4/ea

    Unfortunately, my incubators are full and I will have between 18 and 24 eggs that are extra within the next week. I'll gladly include any extras that I end up with at no charge. I already have 8 from the last three days and haven't yet collected today. I'd rather not eat them if anyone is...

    Hay reaction

    I always do when I work around my livestock. Just for sanitation. Or I wash my hands well afterward.

    Putting them out today

    Every 2-3 weeks I completely clean it out and start fresh.

    Messy, fly-infested coop--please help!

    I'd put up some fly paper and see if that helps.

    Roosters

    I wouldn't sweat having a rooster, unless you don't want chicks. In which case, don't incubate the eggs.

    Where to buy grower pellets

    http://www.modestomilling.com/retailers.html They sell very good quality organic feed produced in California at affordable prices. They have a few retailers in down South as well.

    What to feed chickens to lay more eggs.

    Hmm... Difficult to say. Try giving them some scratch, make sure they have access to some grasses to eat and put out a dish of oyster shells too. That seemed to work to help boost my egg production.

    How much should i feed my free range chickens?

    In my experience with my free range birds, they would much rather forage around for bugs and things than eat their feed. I don't worry about their feed intake. They will only eat as much as they need to eat.

    nest boxes

    4-6 hens tend to use each of my nesting boxes and once they are accustomed to using one they will wait in line to lay in the spot that they like.

    I do! It will cut back on your feed costs substantially and provide them with a well balanced diet. I'd recommend trying a seed mix such as: http://sustainableseedco.com/heirloom-seed-collections/poultry-package.html Be sure to still provide them with their regular feed though. You'll be...

    Chicken too thin!

    I had a similar problem a while back with a couple of my chickens and switched them back from a layer feed to a grower and they bulked up fast. I separately supplemented with oyster shells for those that wanted to eat it, so they would be getting enough calcium.

    Poison Ivy??

    I know my chickens eat poison oak all the time, and have been for a long time. It doesn't seem to have any ill effects.
