    Anyone Use This Automatic Treadle Chicken Feeder?

    Well, I do have an employee who brushes the dogs regularly, collects the poop every day, cleans their crates periodically, and feeds some of them. (I feed 12 a special diet myself.) I certainly could not do it without help. I also organize a low-cost spay/neuter clinic in my small town in the...

    Anyone Use This Automatic Treadle Chicken Feeder?

    I did send "Grandpa" an email with another question 5 days ago and have not had a response. Not a good sign of customer service.

    One hen not laying

    OK...I'm a chicken novice, so a really stupid question--where are the vents? Where the egg comes out, I assume. The non-laying has been going on forever, so if an egg is stuck, wouldn't that have eventually affected her health? All six seem healthy and happy. And if one has a vent that isn't...

    One hen not laying

    I bought 6 chicks in April of 2017. One hen doesn't lay and I don't know why. I don't know which one. They have a chicken run and a coop for night and nests for laying. Any ideas on identifying the one that doesn't lay? (Not that I'd "do away" with her anyway. All my chickens are more like...
