    Polish Can't See

    Thank goodness I googled this! My polish kept not going in at night (have been out of the brooder for about 2 weeks) and acts strange. Today my son and I took a good look and freaked out not knowing what we could do for her. Guess I will try my hand at hair-styling ✂️✂️

    Any one want to join me in waiting for eggs, posting and comparing notes?

    For me, if my chickens are healthy and happy, that's all that matters. Eggs are just an added bonus. If I had enough fresh produce leftovers mine would probably get it every day as well. I wouldn't stress it, seems like you are giving them a healthy variety. They didn't have processed layer feed...

    Hey Lisa. I'm a newbie but what I have been reading from some people (and opposed by others) that supplementing their diet with 'treats' can impact egg production. Mine get table scraps about once a week and scratch & mealworms every other day or so.

    Help! What am I??

    I was given these hens from a friend, she cannot find the paperwork that shows their breed. Can anyone help me figure this out?

    CHICKEN SWING

    I put my chicken swing up yesterday morning. This morning I saw one of the girls jump on it and immediately jump off. It was swinging all over the place as soon as she tried to perch. I went looking through some posts on the site for other swings and noticed that some people rather than having...

    motion detector light/sprinkler combo

    I have a lot of ferrel cats in my neighborhood (not to mention the cat lady next door as well) and my coop has become a point of interest. I have an air soft gun that I have been using to try to scare them off but they are learning that my aim is not that impressive and stand their ground. My...

    Settling in...

    I recently (just 4 days ago) brought 4 young POL chickens home. I realize it has only been a short time but they are so darn skittish and act totally terrified of me. They were handled at their previous home so I know it's possible for them to get to that point, but is there a time period when I...

    The ladies are coming

    Thanks all. The hens arrived safe and sound this morning. A little spooked and stressed but doing well. The coop and run are predator proof. I have dogs so I probably wont do the free range thing, my shepherd would have way too much fun chasing them around. The hens were kept in the coop all day...

    The ladies are coming

    Hey all. The past 2 months I have been going like crazy building my coop and run. It is finally ready and the ladies are coming tomorrow. They are being picked up at about 6 in the morning. I have read that it is best to introduce them at night so they can go straight to sleep, unfortunately...

    Central Coast California

    Thanks for the tips! I put poly roofing on a 8x8 section of the run to help beat the heat. A little delay but the hens are coming first thing tomorrow morning

    Central Coast California

    Sent my friend an email who is gifting the chickens to me. She is looking into the breed. Atascadero is great, heat is my biggest concern. Planning on putting shade cloth over at least half the run, possible fan in the coop and run as well as looking into if minsters may help when it gets really...
