    FIRST EGGS !!

    Just bragging, but yesterday morning I happened to find our first eggs !!

    LADY MAY BE A DUDE

    Thank you for your information :) I thought I had added an image, but I may have messed up. Her clutch was ordered from a hatchery through a local feed store. The extras were sold publicly. She's very sweet but definitely runs the flock (2 Barred Rock, 1 RIR, 2 Ameraucana)

    SAND IN THE BATH

    The sand is finer than play or fill sand. I also use it in the soaps I make as a mild abrasive. And they're only 3 weeks old so they're still in their brooder. The coop and yard are still under construction.

    SAND IN THE BATH

    Good afternoon everyone !! I've done a lot of research on what to use for dust bathing, but not much of the preferred materials are available to me at the moment :/ I do, however, have extra REPTILE SUBSTRATE, which is essentially calcium sand. It's very fine and my sand snakes will bury their...
