    My chickens kill mice and moles, but not sure if they eat any of them. They do have voracious appetites, so it wouldnt surprise me, sounds nasty though.

    Breeds for producing meat chickens

    How old should a chicken be to butcher it??

    They just seem so small at 8 weeks. Mine are now 4 months, and they still seem small. Maybe I am expecting too much. My grandma butchered chickens every year and they seemed much bigger. Maybe because I was smaller.

    DIY HUMANE way to Kill Slaughter Chicken (Stun-kill, Gas)

    Maybe you should find someone else to do it for you. My husband and I are facing the same dilemma, but I really think that I will be able to do it when the time comes. I pray alot for forgiveness when I clean any fish or animal. I know its silly, but I feel alot better about it after wards.

    I need to reduce my flock.

    If there is anyone in the Southern Illinois area who would like to have a few 4 mo old pullets or cockerals please let me know. 21 chickens is a little too many to manage for us. 4 barred roos especially need new homes. :)

    Nesting box material?

    Thank you everyone, I found some Aspen shavings at Wal-Mart for now. I put it in the boxes and sprinkled choc mint leaves in. So far they really enjoy it.

    Nesting materials

    Hi everyone. I was just wondering what you use for nesting boxes filler. My girls do not like the straw we used. They kick it all out. I am happy to say I have received my first three eggs this week and I am thrilled beyond words.
