    Best foods? Bedding? Basking? Harvesting?

    Yeah, the second is all-flock. I will definitely be feeding them frozen meat and fish, so the amount of protein should be ok. Is the extra 5% lysine and niacin a problem for chickens?

    The cheapest feed where I am is the duck Manna Pro layer feed. Here is the guaranteed analysis of the duck feed. Is that ok to feed my chickens with supplemented food and oyster shells (beans, barley, leftovers, cooked meat, etc)? Here's an all-flock feed analysis.

    What will my chicks look like?

    9 chicks hatched and they are black with white or yellow hourglass shapes on their heads. A couple have a few white feathers spread throughout the black. Is the color of the head patch important? Will it show up in their coloring later? I'm pretty sure it's not auto sexing. There are at least...

    Best foods? Bedding? Basking? Harvesting?

    Unfortunately, I think my run would be impossible to cover especially in the winter. In the winter it would just blow away. It's probably 20 ft by 20 ft(?) Maybe more. I'm thinking of putting up an electric fence around the coop in the summer to keep dogs out, but most dogs respect a 6 ft tall...

    What will my chicks look like?

    Here’s my boy. He’s an angel. Unfortunately he lost part of his comb and some toes from frostbite last year 😢 Normally he would have a single comb

    These are just overall questions I have about chicken keeping. Let me know if I put it in the wrong subforum. Where I live it can get to the negative 20's or lower in winter. The lighting in winter is 4-6 hours long so we put a LED light in since they were not eating enough to keep themselves...

    What will my chicks look like?

    I'm putting some eggs in the incubator tomorrow and was wondering what they may look like when they hatch! The dad is a mix between a barred Plymouth Rock and most likely a white orpington. His dad was a barred rock and he looks just like him. The possible moms are a brown leghorn, silver laced...

    Egg Yolk Peritonitis?

    I'm so sorry about your hen :hugs She looked so sweet. Yeah, I was wondering about that too. When I first posted I realized that there were like three other people with the same question. I wonder if it's related to the hatchery where I got my hens since most of my chickens who've had health...

    Egg Yolk Peritonitis?

    Unfortunately my girl died today. She had been acting like she didn't want to eat or drink and like she was in pain when she stood up since about Monday. I started her on antibiotics a few weeks ago and she seemed like she was getting better with less gurgly sounds coming from her belly. The...
