    Chick crumbles not ok for adult chickens?

    Until recently it was forbidden to add animal protein in any chicken feed in my country. I think the governmental department (food) ordered it after the mad cow disease. The proteins come from seeds, corn, soy and peas. Today some feed contain fish or insects. The organic feed I buy still has...

    I have 1 hen with about the same mahogany colouring. She is the one who always comes to the back door to check if it is feeding time or time for an extra treat. The laziest forager of the Glock. :gig @Mother of Chaos My Iphone accepts flock, and shows the alternatives: flocking and flocks...

    Black Americuana general temperament- this chick is draining me!

    Im kind a flabbergasted with these price tags. I really don’t like this whole chick on transport business. Expensive and probably traumatising for the chicks. It’s not allowed where I live. Unless the buyer or seller drives or accompanies the ride. Usually I buy hatchery eggs for €1.00 to...

    Where do you get this information from about Europeans? Its probably true we have more heritage breeds that fit the standards. And these breeds certainly haven’t been mixed with production hybrids for those who want to participate in contests. Many hobbyists who breed with chickens only have 1...

    It depends a lot on where you live. The climate (warm, not hot, not too cold) and what food is available for the chicks are very important. Since we supply the water and feed they need, it’s merely the weather that’s important. …. if the other conditions like safety and housing is taken care of.

    Maybe nice to know? : Only 2% have complications (where I live), and most complications within the 2% are with people who have multiple eye problems. It’s very rare people have long lasting problems after a normal cataract operation. this kind of abbreviations really need an explanation or...

    Does this mean: I have been to the doctor? Is innit another way of saying : ain’t it? Pfff all that English (several kind of) is really complicated once in a while. But very interesting to learn the ins and outs, innit 😝.

    No no. Explaining means unsolicited explanations by your ex.

    Maybe ask @gtaus for advice? He has cheap solutions for many things. Like using free pellets for almost everything. Finally I understand the meaning of explaining!

    Review by 'BDutch' in article 'Modular secondary coop'

    Most of all it’s great to have an extra coop for whenever you need one. I have converted a children’s playhouse of about the same size as 2nd coop. Not perfect either but loved it to avoid roosting troubles with youngsters. Currently 4 of my chickens prefer another safe spot to sleep far away...

    Max 9 times (cats have 9 lives you know) You spoiled my answer with this reply. My husbands eyesight was getting worse the past 1-2 years. The optometrist gave him new, starker lenses to compensate. But after some time it got worse again. He didn’t trust the advice to buy stronger lenses again...

    Where did you go? Are you back again? Whats is it you want to talk about? 🐣🐥🐓 The clinics changed the moment to operate cataract. They don’t wait till your lens gets hard anymore. So if your eyesight is getting blurry you don’t have to wait any longer.
