    What to feed chickens to lay more eggs.

    Hi, I have eight Hens and am getting seven eggs a day, I think one might be too young to lay just yet. I read that we need to give them protein as others have said here. I buy Bananas, and give them leftover meats cause they are meat eaters though many don't know that. On cold mornings I serve...

    Hawks

    Thank you Lydia for the kind words. No they didn't get all three in one day, but did get them before I realized what had happened. I am brand new to all of this, never had any farm animals because I grew up in the city of Detroit. Yesterday and today, I have only let them out for an hour before...

    Hawks

    Sorry for the others' losses, so sad when we care so much. When that Hawk got mine yesterday, he had come right into the Coop there were Hawk feathers everywhere. My coop is made from a shed I converted, it's about 9' X 13" and he must have just swooped right in and had at it. Most of the other...

    Hawks

    Hi, A week ago a Hawk got my Bantam rooster, so I didn't let the girls out for a few days. I read everything I could find on how to protect from Hawks. I put up metal pie tins, tin foil hanging from branches, Bells, bought and put up two Owls and a scarecrow. Sad to say nothing worked. He or...

    Hi, We have had snow flurries here in Black Mountain, but, melting so no accumulation. I thought maybe my girls would not come out of the Coup but they seemed to love it! I think I might have goofed, I have given them meal worms a few times so now when I go near them they follow me and yell at...

    Welcome Statesville! I am not on here a lot but glad you have joined. Actually, I am pretty new as well. I live up in the Mountains, Black Mountain. We have a storm that might collide right here in Buncomb County, hope it doesn't get too bad. Spent a few days trying to seal things up and tie...

    I'm wondering if any of you sell your Eggs? I'm a widow that lives alone so I can't eat too many myself, I will be giving them to friends and family but thinking about putting a sign at the end of my road. I free range and heard that those eggs are sought after. They sell for about $4.00 at the...

    So Excited One of the Girls is laying an egg a day! It is the Bantam so it be a little egg but gives me breakfast every morning! When all of them start laying I could have almost a dozen a day? What does everyone do with their eggs if they get too many and run out of friends who want them?

    My Girls won't come out of the Hen House

    Hi, Guess it was their age as to why they would not come out of the Coup...they come out and go all over the place now They also come up to me for treats and follow me when they think that I have them!

    I messed up in trying to Post this so I hope it is not on twice. But, I wanted to say that for the person who has missing Chicks that my Bantam ran off before I even got him in the Coup and I could not find him so couldn't catch him. After three weeks I gave up hope but then alas he came back...

    Hello, I am so enjoying your Post. So sorry to hear about your missing Girls. I think I shared this on here but in case I didn't I had a Bantam Rooster that flew the Coup before he had made it his home but nearly four weeks later he came back and is still in there. So, I'm hoping that is the...

    How do I determine if an egg is a chick or just an egg?

    Thanks, I have pictures on my Profile somewhere, lol. Yeah, for awhile there were just too many happy memories at home but at least I was smart enough not to sell it:>) I also agree on being in good company and prefer having people think I am "nuts", a good way to keep them on their toes and...

    How do I determine if an egg is a chick or just an egg?

    Thanks, I will go there. I had typed in the question on the Search space but it didn't take me to what I needed. Also going to the site someone else gave me:>) I got the Chicks after my hubby passed into Heaven, I was running away from home at every chance I got but have finally changed that...
