    The road less traveled...back to good health! They have lice, mites, scale mites, worms, anemia, gl

    Great idea, like taking the guess work out and servings ready to go. In the past before FF our neighbor came to eyeball things and collect eggs. The pvc gravity feeder held a week's worth of dry pellet and nipple waterer about 7 days water in the hot summer. Now with FF we need a new way to deal...

    I finally made it to the end! And can get some sleep tonight. Have noticed my tiny 5 hen flock eating twice as much food since FF started this week. Licking bowl clean even after refills. food bill savings??? Some mild pecking at the lower hens they want to hog on the ff. Thanks Rf and LM for...

    Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn, and cauldron bubble....every time I stir the FF I think of this line from Macbeth..RF you must be a vision stirring your cauldron! We found 3 perfect small food grade buckets ( 2 white, 1 clear with lids and handles) outside whole foods grocery store...

    Will keep you posted. I will figure out how to post pics. Thanks again for being so patient and open sharing your knowledge. Even some of us small backyard flocks want to improve. And many of us read that crazy stuff posted all over BYC and kept thinking something just didn't sound right...or...

    This is very similar size to the double lot where we live and we have a firepit we enjoy all Florida winter. We are happy with Live and let neighbors too. I made it with a circle of red bricks. Last night we buried potatoes and a bulb of garlic the coals...mmmm. I find fire very cathartic in so...

    Chickens for 10-20 years or more? Pull up a rockin' chair and lay some wisdom on us!

    Thanks for the welcome! Really enjoying dropping by and finding great info for a newbie...but even I start rolling my eyes when someone asks a question that was so clearly answered over and over in the first 10 posts. My partner said chicken keeping was very easy when he was a kid growing up in...

    I ain't. Scared. Ok, a teeny bit. ;) Ha ha. I don't ask any Q because everyone will say, hey dumbo we covered that 6 different times, just read those 1100+ pages. Lord do I read and fast too. Still working on it.

    You can cut that bird open and explore....this is a good learning opportunity.  Know what to look for and look at...I'll post a few diagrams that may help.  In the future?  Eggbound hens are cull hens.  I've never had an eggbound issue in my flocks in all the time I've had chickens and mother...
