    will they eat macadamia nuts?

    I threw some mac nut shells in my run, thinking it would add to bedding, but the chickens went crazy for them and started eating it. Then I panicked and am hoping it's ok for them to eat. Do you think it acts like grit?

    Eyes shut & leaking fluid

    None of my other chickens have lesions or leaky eyes. Iʻll keep an eye out though. Thanks for general care tips! Will do that right now and try to get some photos of inside of beak.

    Eyes shut & leaking fluid

    Can chickens eat cockroaches

    I love throwing in live roaches, worms, and lizards I found around the house/yard and watching them fight over it.

    My current coop and run is built from whatever my husband found lying around. Iʻm grateful for his McGyverying - but when we can upgrade, I want Justin Rhode's setup!

    Sweet Potatoes or Yams?

    In Hawaii, we traditionally (before commercial feed) fed chickens cooked sweet potato and yam peelings.

    Our flock of 3 went down to 1, via a fox. What to do now?

    That's heartbreaking! A similar situation happened to me ... except it was the neighborʻs breaking through our PVC chicken tractor. Our sole-surviving hen we left to freerange, while my husband built a permament, more secure coop. Needless to say, itʻs been two years and our coop is finally...
