    Need some help

    We found 2 ducks wondering the neighborhood last night. We put them in the chicken pen to keep them safe. I am wondering what they need different from the chickens. What do they eat?

    Possums are Chicken Killers

    Let's see some pics of your homemade hanging feeders

    We made one out of PVC pipe and it hangs on the inside of the coop door. It has worked great. I will take a picture today and post it.

    Egg washing

    I don't wash my eggs. Is there a reason why you are washing them?

    Normal for chickens to turn up their beaks at crushed oyster shells?

    I have a little bowl next to their feeder and I don't think they touch them much. I still have 1 hen who is dropping a jello egg while perching at night. Not sure why but I am getting 5-6 beautiful eggs a day from 7 girls so I am not worrying about it.

    grape-nuts?

    My hubby and 2 yr old love them warmed up w/ milk and honey. The chickens love the leftovers my 2 yr leaves for them. I was accually thinking it would make good scratch additive in the winter.

    strange behavior

    Mine thump their feet sometimes too when they squat. I give mine a nice strong pat and talk to them when they squat. It is a sign of them maturing and they should lay soon.

    More than Daylight savings time

    They figure it out. My did the same when I added the light a few weeks ago. They would peek out looking very confused. They seem to like it now.

    My girls are cranking out the Eggs!

    For the past few weeks I was getting 1 or 2 eggs a day from my 7 hens. The last 3 days I am getting 6 a day! The extra light in the coop must be making them happy! (Me too)

    RIR Molting

    My 2 year old RIR is starting to molt now. It is getting colder here very quickly. Will she be OK in the cold weather while going through her molt? I donot have heat in my coop. I just got her this spring so I am not sure how long her molt takes. Thanks
