    2 week old chicks and grit and dust

    If you have a garden/yard with grass or weeds growing in it, cut a small block, including some of the dirt the greenery is growing in, and put it into the brooder. The chicks will explore it in their own time, and find suitable grit for themselves, and sample the other natural foodstuffs to be...

    Normal teenage cockerel behavior or is he an ahole in the making?

    ...starting from. Going forward, they need to get to know each other as well as possible before they interact freely, so any opportunities for him *or* the pullets to be out and able to go over to where the other(s) are confined would be beneficial. He needs company to grow up as a...

    Shadrach's Ex Battery and Rescued chickens thread.

    I think Shadrach's concerns stem principally from his less than ideal keeping conditions; he's not there for most of the day remember, and he's very aware that Glais is not used to confinement. So providing separate lock-up accommodation initially is for the good of both M&S and G, until Shad...

    Shadrach's Ex Battery and Rescued chickens thread.

    Merioneth has started to crow. Now he just needs to recruit someone to groom him and remove those pesky keratin sheaths from the feathers at the back of his head and neck that he can't reach himself...

    Shadrach's Ex Battery and Rescued chickens thread.

    My lot don't change behaviour whatever the weather, i.e. those who roost in the trees do so, even when it is pouring with rain as they go to roost, and continues all night long. Somewhat surprisingly, most mornings my tree huggers are dry. Only twice since this tree hugging en masse started in...

    Thanks for the update; it's good to see that your health is improving. There is no rush here; it may be better for all concerned if Glais gets a little 1:1 training in interpersonal relations from the hens here first :lol: I will deliver Glais to the field when Shad is ready for him MoC...

    I'm pleased to report that Paprika has returned with the kids to a coop tonight, after roosting out last night :rolleyes: and causing me some anxiety in doing so... I was very happy to hear them all cheeping and clucking outside the back door while I was preparing their breakfast :). I have no...

    you remind me that we had that sort too, and that Brussel sprouts are a good addition - especially if it was composed of leftovers from Christmas dinner; it goes well with cold or reheated turkey.

    that's a relatively fancy one. The one I grew up with used just cooked potato and cabbage leftovers - and it's the best way to eat cabbage that I know :p

    Ash in feed?

    I assume you are aware of the problem of adulteration of food in the human food chain (e.g. horsemeat scandal, melamine in infant milk formula, more honey for sale than the world's entire population of bees could possibly produce etc. etc.); it happens in the animal feed chain too, and probably...

    Chicken embryology article?

    Do you think this one is lacking something and you can do better? https://www.thepoultrysite.com/articles/embryonic-development-day-by-day You would learn from it in any case, but you might prefer to invest your effort on something that's not been done already. Aristotle performed this...

    did you try the frites with mayo? or Dutch apple pie? My enduring memory of the Netherlands is looking up in awe at the train arrivals/ departures board in Utrecht. There were trains to everywhere I'd ever heard of in Europe - and beyond! - accessible just by getting on a train at one platform...
