    First Natural Hatch

    Hi everyone! My first 5 chicks from a natural hatch were born a week ago! I’ve been trying to figure out their sex, but it’s quite difficult. I’m posting a few photos—what do you think? The quality isn’t great, but I hope you can still see something useful. Thanks in advance!

    When Will My Hens Start Laying Eggs? Any Tips to Help? 🐣

    What do you think of this feed? This is the feed my trusted mill sells me (which I used to mix with grains but started feeding as is yesterday): ANALYTICAL CONTENTS Moisture: 13.0% Crude Protein: 16.2% Crude Fiber: 6.2% Crude Fat: 4.0% Crude Ash: 11.9% Sodium: 0.3% Lysine: 0.6% Methionine...

    When Will My Hens Start Laying Eggs? Any Tips to Help? 🐣

    Interesting, thanks for sharing! I might try that. How do you provide the light? Do you have a large lighting setup, or would just a simple light bulb be enough? Currently, I don't have outlets near the coop, but I can set something up since it's not too difficult for me to do—it's part of my...

    When Will My Hens Start Laying Eggs? Any Tips to Help? 🐣

    I see now that the mixed grains might not be the best choice, and I’ll consider switching to a more balanced diet. I originally added the mixed grains thinking it would be better and more natural for them, my grandmother always fed them to her chickens, but I now realize that was a mistake. I...

    When Will My Hens Start Laying Eggs? Any Tips to Help? 🐣

    For their diet, I’m using 50% layer feed and 50% mixed grains. I also supplement their diet with food scraps (mainly leftover vegetables and fruits). For example, today they had some salmon and chopped bread. Does that sound like a balanced diet for them? Thanks again!

    When Will My Hens Start Laying Eggs? Any Tips to Help? 🐣

    Hi everyone, I have three hens (an Isa Brown, a Leghorn, and a Bantam Cornish), all hatched at the end of May, but none of them have started laying eggs yet. The weather here started getting cold fairly early, around the end of October, and we’ve had a lot of rain since then. Now, they should...

    Help Needed: Identifying My Lively Hen's Breed! 🐔

    Thank you so much for your suggestions! I hadn’t considered Cornish bantam before, but it makes sense. I’ll look into it more. Do you think her temperament is typical for this breed? I’ll share more photos as soon as I can. What I can say for now is that she’s not a mix, as she comes from an...

    Help Needed: Identifying My Lively Hen's Breed! 🐔

    Hi everyone, I’m new to raising chickens and recently got this lively little hen. She has such beautiful feathers, and when I searched online, Google suggested she might be a bantam Wyandotte. However, her personality is completely different from what I’ve read about that breed! She’s super...
