    NY chicken lover!!!!

    They are loud at times. Now that we no longer live in the city I'm not worried about it much. We are looking at 4 runner ducks.

    NY chicken lover!!!!

    We just moved to a new care taking position. There are 15 laying hens, 18 pullets, one young roo. Oh and 5 Angus heifers. I'm planning a few ducks for my own keeping next spring.

    Any one in NY or PA use mulch in their run?

    Thank you everyone. The area the coop will go is slightly stopped and does get squishy. I'm planning on covering with hardwired and spreading mulch.

    Best vs Worst coop bedding?

    I had some sand (free someone gave me) that I tossed in the run. It was okay, kept things less swampy and when we moved was easy to till in. In the coop I used wood shavings, it was fine. I'm looking to do something different this next spring. I'm looking at Eaton Pet and Pasture.

    That's good to know. We were thinking of getting a small chipper. You have a nice run.

    I've seen a lot of people say they've used this. So im curious if anyone uses non treated non colored mulch.

    Do you add stuff into your commercially available food?

    Are they going to forage? Yes, sun up to nearly sun down. Will they have commercial feed available? Yes Will they still have grit and oyster shell available? Yes Do I like the idea of mixing things into their feed to provide a more hands on holistic approach? Yes Will they continue to get...

    Would you be able to harvest your own chicory or order seeds?

    Modifying the OverEZ coop

    How did it stand up against the winter? Any other modifications made? I'm looking at one currently for next spring.

    Poll: Do high-value treats turn your chickens into savages?

    I haven't noticed that they've become more savage. However, I started off by feeding treats in a few different locations, that way the flock has little groups instead of a big group.

    Do you add stuff into your commercially available food?

    I have a recipe I screen capped from Barefoot Mimosas, I have a pic of the recipe. I love the idea of making food for the livestock. However, I'm also hesitant to just jump in after reading so much on here. With my last flock (2008-2013) I did whatever feed was on sale at our local feed store, I...

    Weed that looks like a grapevine but there's no grapes on it

    Likely a male plant, they do not produce fruit. Also could not be producing due to lack of nutrients, not enough light, etc. It looks like a wild grape vine.

    Thanks, I couldn't remember how to get to the DIYs.

    What's been the easiest incubator that you've built with your kids?

    Looking forward to next spring, I want to build an incubator and hatch some eggs with my 12 year old. I've made one incubator over a decade ago, but my kid was preschool age at the time and only helped with putting eggs in the incubator and keeping me up to date every 5 minutes on the dot. Only...
