Mine love So many things everyone else’s don’t seem to like. They eat strawberries, blueberries, all parts of squash, oatmeal, grapes, and carrots. I’ve only found 3 things they just won’t eat: Celery, green peppers, and stink bugs. I really wish they liked stink bugs :-/
I have deep litter and as long as I throw a handful of scratch in there every day the ladies mix it up for me. I’ve never noticed any ammonia smell since I started using the scratch.
Ok but HOW do you do it? My gals are 4 months old, they have a coop they get locked into at night and a covered, fenced, as secure as I could make it, run. I have about 2 acres but I’m on a very busy 55 mph road and I fear them wandering up there. I can not afford to fence anything else right...
Struggling with identifying this hen. I ordered a rare breed variety pack and I have strong suspicions on the other gals, but this one has stumped me. She seems to dark to be a lavender Orpington but that’s the only one I know of that’s grey like that. Please and thank you!
