    Chickens not laying in the summer

    Stress can mess up egg production for weeks. Seeing the roo attacked is stress. Give good food and good treats they’ll come around.

    Deep Litter Method and Poop

    I use fresh pine shavings in my coop but deep litter in the pen. Throw out soiled shavings into pen add fresh grass and leaves. Having a thick layer of pine shavings isn’t deep litter.

    9" of Rain and a Muddy, Stinky, Mess of a Run...Any Advice?

    The new neighbour

    I have had nothing but positive responses from my neibors. Though I do give out eggs freely when I have to many. My town is fully awear of me having chickens and how many I have. There policy is do nothing till they get a complaint. Then it’s by the rules.

    Watering Woes!!

    Does it Leak? I started with nipples for my chicks but hated the water leaking onto the pine shavings in the brooder.

    We do have a 5 foot fence between our yards. My girls can fly over it. Also I have learned the answer to the age old question why did the chicken cross the road? Because there were tasty bugs over there.
