I've got 4 eggs from the three of them before, actualy about once every week or two. They are new layers so that would explain the egg inconsidency. But I just don't understand how it got there! Yeah I could have missed it but we have dark red lava rock which makes an egg like this one stand out...
So today when I went out to clean out the chicken coop (I was supposed to yesterday but I forgot) I found an egg. Your probably thinking who cares an egg. And yeah, my chickens have all been laying for a while, but this egg was outside the coop. It wasn't there yesterday (it probably would've...
I might have one, I dunno, we have 3 boxes and 3 chickens one of which doesn't even know how to use them so it doesn't mater if we did. She's either broody or hiding in there because shes tired of getting pecked.
Thats good. I'm try to find a good place to get somes sunflowers seeds because appartently its help chickens grow back healthy feathers. I still don't know whether they need to be unshelled or not. Oh well, I'm going to look it up.
I've been sick lately and relying on the rest of my family to check on my chicks. I went out this morning to find 3 fresh eggs. tonight I came out to find ANOTHER. 4/3! WHOO
So APPARENTLY rooster booster is JUST supposed to help their feather grow back faster.... I though it did both. So, we got some blu-kote, the spray on kind, I'm so tired of having to wrestle around with those chickens to get that stuff on.... Buttercup is the only one actualy comfort able with...
She making buttercup start to go bald too! And C.C. had figured it out and was hiding in the nesting box all day and buttercup was getting beat up. It's drving me insane what am I supposed to do about this stupid chicken!
I'm getting 2-3 a day! It was so windy yesterday, that when the girls decided to go outside they're coop, the wind blew the door shut behind them! They where stuck outside for acouple hours and when I got home and opened the door they all came running for the feeder. silly chickens!
And every...
I could stand to get rid of another... I tend to think of my girls more like a dog, well that kind of thing, not as a farm animal, and I get pretty attachted to them... I've already had 2 died at one point and had to get rid of one for pecking.... Thats 1/2, thats already to much.... it could...
3/3 Again! Like buttercup took a break yesterday Nugget and C.C. have been laying daily. I guess they're just paying me back for that lovely cabbage I gave them, which is now destroyed so it sort of looks like a chandelier! And buttercup, it's turns is the one who STILL hasn't figured out the...
Ok, so, from what i'm hereing, I don't have enough room... What do I do? I live in a neighborhood and don't exactly have any room to expand... I try letting them out into the yard when I can, but I don't end up getting to that as much as I would like to.... I've thought alittle bit and tried...
They might be over crowded, they have a 4x4 coop and a 5x4 run. Theres only three of them though. They have water and food. Their water has probiotics and we feed them vegetables and stuff sometimes too.
Ok we thought we had solved the problem but one of our chickens who got pecked the most wasn't healing and appeared to be getting worse. I decided to spy on them for a little to find nugget, the littlest on of the flock is pecking her. We decided to get some "rooster booster, anti canibalism...
