    Nutrena Feather Fixer

    I've been using it for about a month now with very good results. I had one poor chicken the others would pick on all the time so bad that she became bald. :( I noticed her the other day and almost didn't regocnize her, she has most of her feathers back. :)

    Anyone else doing the "chick wait"?

    My 25 chicks ship Saturday, I can't wait! Does anyone know how Murray McMurray ships? I don't know if it's Priority Mail, Express Mail or Overnight anyone know the answer to this? I worry about them sitting at the Post Office all day Sunday.

    Stabat It

    My First Stab at Building a Coop With luck on my side I don't think my first construction project turned out too bad. My wife, before she was my wife, had a dog run behind the shed, so all I had to do was build a coop next to the existing shed and Walla a hen paradise! Well close anyway. There...

    Shredded paper instead of pine shavings

    I used it for a while and didn't like it for a couple of reasons, one the chickens ate it, and two it had no odor prevention qualities. Pine shavings always seem to help in the odor department. Just my 2 cents.

    i have question : why wont my hen get off the nest?

    Sounds broody to me too. I have one that's been doing the same thing for two weeks now. I pick her up and put her out in the back yard for a while while I grab the eggs. She heads right back in there as soon as I let her. I noticed one thing about her....her comb is dull compared to the others...

    What can I put in their water to give them a boost?

    I've never used a wormer but I have used ACV most of their lives.

    Out to freerange

    Before mine started tearing up my yard and eating my house, I used to let them out in the yard an hour or two before dark. That way they would put their selves to bed at dusk and all I had to do was pop my head in the coop and get a count.

    Flock Block

    I buy those song bird bells from PetCo for 2 for $4 each one lasts about a week. I hang them out of their reach so they have to jump to get to them. I think it's good exercise and keeps them entertained. It's also fun to watch them jump for it.

    I'm nervous about my EE

    I painted her with "Pick no more" and that didn't help. (She took it off herself) I guess if I can get her to be "un broody?" then I'll see if I can locate some of that blukote stuff. Thanks everyone for your help. And thanks for letting me know about the oil gland thing.

    I'm nervous about my EE

    I wondered if she might be broody, but she's just been acting strange. She'll all at once flap her wings and make a lot of noise. And then that thing by her tail that she keeps biting.
