    Are chickens colorblind?

    I too have recently read an article on chicken intelligence. I find it fascinating how smart they actually are. Since I do have 5 chickens I can see that they are smart and intelligent. I wish the "outside" world would realize this and not just say things like "....it's JUST a chicken" .

    Pictures of my coop's grazing bed

    Great idea to make a little one inside the run! Maybe this spring I'll through some wheat seeds in it- was using grass seeds, but maybe the wheat will grow better. I have 2 set up for them in different areas outside their run.

    Zero Egg production.

    My 5 girls will be 3 at the end of June. For the past 2 years-November is the month when they start their big molt......this year and last I had no eggs from November till mid February. 2 of the 5 have started laying again .Any day now I expect all 5 laying regularly as their combs and wattles...

    Do I need to "worm" my chickens??

    I have never noticed a taste difference in their eggs. For the 5 chickens I use 1 or 2 cloves of garlic (depending on the size) I put it in the garlic press or mince it finely. Then I add it to about a cup or more of cooked quinoa or cooked brown rice. I have never given the girls uncooked...

    Do I need to "worm" my chickens??

    My chickens will be 3 this June. About every 6 months I bring in a stool sample to the vet. No worms! I know some people worm on a regular basis......but I figure if they don't have worms why should I be giving them medications. But I must add that I do believe in prevention....I feed them...

    Are you looking for baby ducks or grown ducks? If grown ducks, I know a place in North Jersey where they have many ducks for adoption.

    CAYENNE + NO LIGHT = EGGS DURING WINTER?

    My chickens are going into a molt right now, as they did last year at this time too. So with the shorter days and the molt, even the cayenne would not help them. Last year all 5 chickens took 4 month vacation from egg laying. I don't do supplemental lighting, but they do get cayenne weekly...

    Water At night

    I don't put water inside the coop. I think when the chickens go to sleep they sleep the entire night. I notice they all drink and eat BEFORE they go into the coop for the night. In the morning they are let out as soon as it gets light out.
