    Lime vs DE

    The problem is that a lot of DE is coming from "a" country overseas and is cut with a high alkali substance. Check your DE to ensure it is 100% by mixing a little with Vinegar. It should not fizz as DE is neutral base. If it fizzes in the vinegar, throw it away. Use only DE mined, milled and...

    All these feathers!!!

    My 5 hens are 18 months and only one is molting. Once I took the fake eggs out of the coop, forcing her to stop nesting, she stop molting. She lost less than half of her feathers, none of the main feathers per se, and I do not see any skin showing, well maybe I think there is a little on her...

    What to feed to get Orange yolk

    No it's not Astaxanthan they add to their genetically modified feed. That's far too expensive. It is an artificial chemical, or what the industry is allowed to call synthetic Astaxanthan, that is not found anywhere in their food supply, or ours, along with the growth hormone and the anti-biotics...

    Received complaint from humane services about "roaming"

    Maybe there are too many "compliance's" in your area. I was raised in San Diego in the 60's as a child. There were chickens in our neighborhoods walking around all the time. All they did was eat all the bugs and lay eggs in everyone's yard. I often wonder if the people making the policies have...

    Should I let my chickens run around outside of the coop?

    I have one chicken that thinks she can make it to the other side of the pool. Sometimes she makes it and sometimes she doesn't. She doesn't seem to mind not making though and if you don't think chickens can swim you should see this one.

    When to start feeding food/oyster shell for egg production

    I've been feeding them this diet since their 9th week and they started laying at their 15th or 16th week. It is hard to tell in the picture but these chickens are bigger than some turkeys I have seen. They eat like pigs, like hanging out and chasing the dogs but are giving me a large egg a day...

    Ummm... is this a normal glitch?

    One of my chickens lays her egg on the couch that the dogs sit down on. She will lay that egg when the dogs are laying right next to her. Sometimes she will kick the dogs off the couch first, sometimes not. I think we might have held her too much when she was a chick. She likes to chase the dogs...
