    Barley Fodder Troubleshooting

    No problem.. thanks for commenting :) ... about a week ago I messaged a guy off you tube to ask about it, and he also suggested that maybe my seed depth was not enough to get a good root mat... so I increased the seed in the pans.. I am almost to day 7/8 on that pan, so I am just waiting to see...

    Help...training flock to a new coop....

    I'll try the fake eggs... I thought about locking them all in the coop for a few days, but honestly its so hot here and the coop is hot during the day, so I don't want to do that.... I might try waiting to feed them until dusk and then try the meal worms...

    Older Hens... Poopy Butt

    I don't feed a lot of scraps, the last time I feed scraps it seemed to give them the runs.. which is where I think all this got started... I do feed the 20% because they do free range quite a bit, and on the lower protien they just didn't lay very good. I will check into our department of...

    Older Hens... Poopy Butt

    Older Hens... Poopy Butt

    I guess I assumed if it was worms or some sort of infection, why only part of the folk, not all the hens are like this??

    Older Hens... Poopy Butt

    Ok I am sure there are a hundred threads on this.. My hens are about 3 years old.. I have 14 of them, about half of them have poopy butt, pretty bad.. now that being said, it has rained here every day, and the run is a little muddy... I have looked for signs in the poop, all poops look normal...

    Is this ring of death? Day 5 or 6

    I would certainly wait.. It does have a ring.. but it also clearly has an embryo.. make me think it is growing.. by day 7 you should see the embryo moving and "swimming" around.. When ever I have had a ring of death... there was never the vessel development nor the embryo that big.. but that's...
