    Ideas needed for plants chickens DON'T like-garden help!

    My birds will not bother conifers. So, I have given up the sedum/hosta/ferns for small conifers, cover the roots with rock and enjoy a fairly no maintenance green garden . Also, the bird yard has two native plants the girls have let alone, leather leaf mahonia, and nandina. These both have...

    Life with chickens, when you leave nature to take her course, is like a box of chocolates. Sometimes you get mocha with big black feet!

    Plus Equals this. The roo came from a lady who also breeds jersey giants. The hen was given to me and I was told she was a bard rock. I have marans pullets also, which have black washed feet. This chick is larger than some of his mates, has solid black feet and his plumage seems...

    My next question.......

    . She hatched out 15 of her own from a clutch of 18. We had a shipment of 17 Marans arrive soon after. So, I put one of the Marans down outside little misses nursery fence. She was all about helping the little peep get in, so I let it in to her. Then I brought the rest of the Marans out, one...

    My next question.......

    Ok, I will see watch them all closely. Fortunately I have this week off work. God watches over children, and the mentally challenged. I fall into either category quite regularly

    My next question.......

    I have a question. We have two Bard rock hens brooding two nests in the same 4 x 8 coop. One, Grace, is due hatch the 5th of April. The other, Little Miss, is due hatch the 17th of April. The two hens are 4 nesting boxes apart. When Grace has her clutch hatching can it cause problems ...

    My next question.......

    She left the nest. There was a lot of commotion near her, and we waited to see if she would go back. It was interesting because when she came off the nest she was usually very quiet, but this time she started clucking so loudly the rooster joined in. So, we put the eggs in an incubator and...

    My next question.......

    I am going to try to put up two videos. This first one is of Audrey's chick, having a worm. It's sorta funny. The second is of our Marans pullets. I have saw questions about knowing the difference in males/females early on. We have had these birds a little over a month I believe, and there...
