    Pellets or mash/crumble?

    I have been feeding my trio the mash and crumble, but I’m noticing it looks more like sawdust then acutual food, and I’m wondering if they’re getting the nutrition they need. Would going to pellets prevent all the waste and sawdust material in the feeder? Do they retain more and eat less food on...

    Buff or Aus

    I am trying to figure out which one laid the brown egg, since the buff Orpington and black australorp have similar colored eggs, I thought I’d ask the eggspurts, thanks!!!

    Don’t watch me!

    Would this be ok? Least until I can construct something a bit nicer?

    As you can see, she’s been scratching around in it, but then goes right outside to lay her egg!

    Don’t watch me!

    I’m trying to figure out about what time my chicken is laying her egg, the other two haven’t started yet, the wait is torture, I was out there the other day and just keeping an eye on them, and she never laid her egg! Do chickens not lay eggs when being watched because they’re distracted by your...

    I put some grower feed in a second feeder and have the layer feed in the other, and going to buy some oyster shells today, so hopefully that’ll help haha

    Chickens haven’t started laying eggs yet?

    I did put a golf ball in there, I know one of them was scratching around in it because some shavings are on the ground, so that’s a good sign!
