    What are Production blues... and what lead to this question.

    I bought 2 Production Blue (Rhode Island/Blue Australorp) I call mine Rhode Island Blues. LOL I just like the name better. But they are the sweetest birds and started laying around 4 months old. We only pay $2.50 a bird from our feed store. Good Luck to you.

    Metal corrugated roof! Ugh...

    I would pull the metal roof, lay down some plywood and then attached the metal roof to it. Your roof is at a slant,is it not? Can't tell by photos. Good luck.

    How much water

    Test the nipples by pushing up and down on them to see if they are flowing. If your bucket lid is sealed tightly, there is no air flow. That's been my case in the past. I start my new chicks off on a nipple so they are acquainted with it from the beginning.

    My chickens won't eat inside their coop!

    My hens do not want to eat their feed inside the coop, they rather scratch for it off the ground but I don't want it outside because the wild birds eat it if the hens just leave it lie. How can I encourage them to eat indoors? It just goes untouched indoors. Thanks for your input.

    I had someone ask about Henrietta already. We'll will have to see on her yet. Sarah is still available. She MUST and I can't stress enough MUST go to a home where she will not have access to grass. I've saved this poor girl twice now from death and don't want to see it happen again to her. Thanks.
