    We have taken out the framed wood section & put in a plexiglass window facing east so they know when sunrise is. We have hatch coop doors & some of the run framed. Picture to follow.

    Experimental Garden. Will Anything Grow?

    I know what you're saying on the not so good harvest this year. Since I have limited garden space there are some things I'm not going to try to grow again. Complete failures! Other things did pretty good so I will do more of those items.

    Tomorrow starts the conversion of a 9x12 lawn shed into a coop with a run on each side. I will try to take pics of each stage. I am hiring a 2-person crew to do the transformation for me, as I am partially disabled.

    Has anyone tried this?

    The etc. is just other fruits & veggies, and I just add a little bit into the feed pan with their regular layer feed combo, greens, etc. They get variety, but mostly layer feed + I add layer boost in their drinking water.

    Has anyone tried this?

    I add in leftover Box Turtle food (Omnivore Mix) from my one little turtle, Phoenix. She's so small, she can't ever eat it all before expiration. It's just (dead) grub worms, roaches, crickets + dehydrated strawberries, carrots, peas, etc. Chickens love to eat & they are Omnivores. They don't...

    Now is the time: measure your coop, count your chickens!

    How would you get Pinless Peepers on pretty much wild chickens? They were 10-11 mo old hens when I bought them, with no human touch. Still working on the taming them, or as one lady put it "loving them into submission". We can't get into the run. It's only 2 ft tall. I use rakes & hoes to clean...

    Now is the time: measure your coop, count your chickens!

    I only have 3 & the coop & run are plenty big enough, but I have one hen that is a bully. One of them just stayed a safe distance & never crossed her. The blonde was just silly & kept getting in her way. The bully beat her up. Now the blonde one just cowers in the corner. The bully won't allow...

    Fall 2025 Thread

    I definitely prefer spring & fall. Summer is too hot! When I have to change ice blocks & bowls of ice in the coop every 2-3 hours, it's tiring & too much. I do it, because I love my girls.

    I am happy & shocked. My little black one has some patches & I thought there was something wrong, then my blond one started getting little spots. I didn't see any black feathers. I think she eats them.🤷‍♀️
