    any tips on brooding chicks inside coop?

    Improvise a see-no-touch setup in the coop, so the chicks can grow up in sight of the bigs. If the coop has a second doorway, extend this set-up to include part of the run. Since your chicks will outnumber the hens, I think you’ll have a good outcome.

    Considering they haven’t even begun incubating them yet, if it were me, I would just cancel the order. You don’t really need to add more stress! 🥰

    Yes, get some oyster shell. I just put it on the ground in a little pile and they eat it. Or put it in a bowl, but don’t mix it with their regular feed.

    If an egg breaks, they will eat it. Thin shelled eggs, or eggs dropped outside are more likely to break. It’s always a good idea to supplement with oyster shell.

    @shawluvsbirds do you remember when is the Lamar Poultry swap? 3rd Sundays? Oh I see that Nevada has one this coming Sunday. Poultry, small animals, and ‘speedway stuff.’ At the Nevada Speedway.

    We drove into the town of Lamar. There had been an EF0 tornado on Sunday. Lots of limbs were down, a carport was collapsed. At the park, much of the paved walking path was muddy from being flooded, and this foot bridge had been flooded as well. Lots of debris was piled up against it. The...

    PLEASE TRY THIS FEED!! My 11 hens have laid over 100 eggs so far this year. Poll: what brand of feed do you get?

    I’ve been using Kalmbach 20% Flock Maker pellets for almost 2 yrs. They like it a lot. I don’t know if they lay better or not. Sometimes I have gone back to Purina for the convenience of a TSC being a lot closer. The chickens like the Kalmbach better if there are 2 choices in separate bowls...

    We lost internet, so I didn’t post. Storms passed just south of us, sirens went off, it rained like crazy. We got 4 1/4” rain over 2 days. News showed scattered damage from Lamar, the closest town. Tree limbs, flooding, roof damage. Large area no power. A tornado siren snapped off!
