    Calcium

    Oh! Another thing you can do is feed them crushed egg shells. Take their egg shells after you use them and put them in a blender, or a chopper, or just do it by hand, and give it back to them! The roosters never touch it, for some reason, I guess they know they don't need it! But be sure to...

    Spring/Summer time Mosquitoes and chickens

    Hmmm... That's a good point! I guess I kind of look at them as my pets in a way so I see things similar as protecting my dog from mosuitoes and west nile! It's not much a problem for them when they're awake, the skeeters simply stay away because they're getting chased and eaten! ...But I kind...

The enclosure they have is simply chicken wire, so that's not...
