    We got some rain yesterday and today here, and like you, I was working outside, doing yard work. It wasn't raining enough to get in the way, just kept me cool and my new plants happy after being transplanted from pots to ground - so nice and a perfect timing <3

    Yes, but then I was told that there can be relapses if stressed. The good news is that among those with symptoms of fowl pox, we had no casualty and they recovered perfectly well after a few weeks. But they did look pretty awful for a minute, so I'm with you there :/ (Side note: we did lose...

    My first ever pullets all got it right off the bat when I got them (this was back when I lived in TX) - not relevant for right here and now, but just wanted to say I feel for you. Hang in there!

    Artificial Lights v/s None During Winter for Egg Production Poll

    Ohhh, so interesting - de we know about this (tendency to slow down a lot or not too much with shrinking daylight duration) for more breeds? I'm taking notes!

    Artificial Lights v/s None During Winter for Egg Production Poll

    I was looking into this earlier today in advance of getting chickens, so no personal experience here, just relaying an article I found useful (by a vet, which is lending it some more weight too) - https://the-chicken-chick.com/supplemental-light-in-coop-why-how/

    Artificial light

    I know this is a bit of an older thread but really interesting information here: among those using artificial lighting, do you all do something like what Aart describes, to allow for molting? -> Aart makes it sound as if maybe the delay in molting was due to birds not being used to artificial...

    Too much protein?

    I'm coming at this with no preconceived notion that one or the other is better, so please bear with me, just asking, not trying to argue here: the study does focus on egg production, and I was wondering if it would make sense to question that? As in, is laying more and bigger a good thing for...

    Very good point. Do you think it would make any difference is using a deep litter kinda situation (meaning no dirt but maybe a bunch of organic litter - Chip Drop comes to mind when it comes to large, free quantities of the stuff)? And that arches back to something I looked up and planned on...

    Would it be possible to not dig, but instead add? So you'd put the run on the floor, bottom hardware cloth being on ground surface, then you'd add floor/litter inside the run on x inches (might mean that your run would likely need some siding all around its base, so that the elevated...

    BYC's 2025 Spooktacular Halloween Hatch-Along

    I also didn't factor in what jxp was saying about integration :/ In any case, I have no egg to hatch but I am following along all your efforts and feeling invested - here is to hope it all goes well with the eggs that made it so far! <3

    BYC's 2025 Spooktacular Halloween Hatch-Along

    I mean, I wasn't laughing at Lady Lisa's eggs not making it, but the "solo chick hatch" is a bit of a funny thing - I'm rooting for this underdog for sure!! Didn't start with the best conditions but making it through! 💪
