    how much space per chicken

    haha whoops- I guess I missed that 87 1/2 feet is pretty spacious, I'm sure my girls would love that amount of space

    My Chickens' Favourite Homemade Healthy Treats

    Cottage Cheese For some reason my girls just seem to absolutely go nuts for the stuff! I tend to give it them straight out of the little pots you can buy and occasionally I give them some diced up vegetables with it. Cottage cheese is full of both calcium and protein. The calcium helps to keep...

    how much space per chicken

    For me 60 square foot would be a touch on the small side. I would recommend your chicken pen is at least 15 square foot each, so of six hens you would need at least 90 square foot. Do they have access to anywhere else during the day?

    NOODLES

    I would cook them first and then give them the noodles! I bet they will love them and run around the pen with them

    Can You Give Chickens Juice and Milk?

    I wouldn't give them juice, plain water is perfect for them I haven't tried mine with milk but I know that they aren't very good at handling any dairy product in excess - cheese, milk, yogurt. So make sure not to give them too much!

    How many chickens can fit in a 35x10 run

    Well you can have a hot spot inside the box and then other areas where the chicks can go to, to cool down. But just make sure there is enough heat and warmth to go round...

    How many chickens can fit in a 35x10 run

    Depends on the amount of chicks, but you don't want to give them too much space because you'll need to keep them warm for the first few days, and it isn't easy with a huge box!

    Feeding schedule and questions

    I'm not sure if it was bad timing, but found when I left their food in the coop red lice appeared, after I treated them and removed the food the lice haven't re-appeared... How many birds do you have- we only have a flock of 12 so feeding them by hand isn't too much of an issue!

    Feeding schedule and questions

    Ah Ok I see. No I agree with you during roaming times I would make sure they always have access to water! But mine don't have access to water in the evening because I don't want pests in their coop... Do you find it reduces bullying operating a free feeding policy!?

    Dog Proofing a Coop

    Yes, make sure not to buy the cheap stuff. We bought cheap stuff the second time and the difference in quality was amazing Won't be making that mistake again...

    Dog Proofing a Coop

    Sounds like a good idea, but to be honest we didn't think about doing this at the time! I guess the main thing is keeping the foxes at bay by any means We haven't had any foxes get in since, but I think if we did then we would place our chicken wire "out" as well!

    What does free feed mean? Just feeding them without a trough?
