    Egg question

    Will do. My oyster shell is slightly bigger than the grit I put out for them. They scatter it around but eventually eat it. Can I get it smaller ground? PS, how do you get your scripture verse at the bottom of your post? I like it

    Egg question

    Have been giving them oyster shell (in a dish in the yard they can freely help themselves to). :-\

    Egg question

    I have four 21-week old Barred Rock hens. 1 has been laying consistently in the nest box for the past week. 4 days ago I found 2 eggs but since then only 1 a day. This morning I went out and found this on the floor of the coop: Forgive the mangled appearance. I scooped it out of the...

    Post your FIRST EGG pics!

    I have 4 Barred Rocks that are 20 weeks old. Left for 2 days and yesterday came back to this: Pretty sure just one of the chickens gave me both (1 each day I was gone). One was in the nest box the other was on the floor of the henhouse. Now I want to go out every 5 minutes and check for more

    I need help getting my chickens to find their nesting boxes!

    I am having the exact same problem. My girls are 17 weeks old and are showing absolutely NO interest in their nest box. I added it to their house a couple of weeks ago. They'll stretch up and peak in but the only 'action' it's seen is when I physically put one of them in it. Not sure what to...

    PDZ question

    Thanks all!! I had to look it up too. Got some yesterday ($17 for a 40 pound bag). Completely cleaned out the house and found a wet patch in front of the door and in the back corner. I sprinkled the PDZ on both patches and the odor instantly was gone. It was AMAZING! I sprinkled it over...

    PDZ question

    How do you use Sweet PDZ in your hen house? Do you sprinkle it on the floor before adding the pine shavings? Do you mix it with the pine shavings? Have had a dry warm summer with no odor problems until this week when it rained off and on for a couple of days and had horrible humidity. Now...

    Feathers everywhere

    I have four 14 week old Barred Rock hens. Every day I see new feathers laying on the ground in their run. I don't hear them fighting or bullying each other ~ I might hear a loud squawk every now and then but no actual fighting and I don't see any bare spots on any of my girls. Is this normal...
