    Can my 8 week olds eat layer food?

    I am in Georgia. It’s been pretty hot, but they are in the shade at the top of a hill with a nice breeze. I will be taking out some electrolytes and vitamins to put in their water tomorrow. I pray they will make it!

    Can my 8 week olds eat layer food?

    Good idea. What about offering them yogurt? Someone said that would be good for them,

    Can my 8 week olds eat layer food?

    Well, I have been letting them out for about an hour or two each day for the last month and they would stand around the layer food off and on and eat while they were out.

    Can my 8 week olds eat layer food?

I am, of course, giving them their chick starter grower food. But over the last month, when I let them out every day to play for an hour or two, they will eat...

    Constantly clucking and fluffed up, can't find diagnosis!

    How long does this broodiness last?? My 1-year-old Jolene is going to get killed by my other two hens if she doesn’t quit it! She’s been doing the turkey fluff, strutting and clicking for about 5 days now. It’s driving me nuts, because I have to keep her separated. And it really pisses off the...

    Questions about having parrots and getting chickens

    Hi, I have been carefully reading all these posts, and now I'm a little worried. I have five 3-month-old chicks that I keep in my back yard. I also have a Senegal parrot. Sometimes after I get home from work, I need to spend time with my parrot, as well as let the chickens out of their pen for a...
