    I never thought of that, but you are right.

    All Things Treadle Feeder

    What a good momma! This really gives me some good info. I give my girls mash with mealworms soaked in it, and rarely does that get spilled, but their dry pellets are a different story.

    Blue Olive Eggers from Ideal

    As far as I know, I just have the regular olive eggers, not the blue (I wanted blue but they did not have them). I'll get some pics of what look like developing little crests tho. Because it's either that, or they are having a few really bad feather days. lol My two original olive eggers laid...

    Blue Olive Eggers from Ideal

    I could have sworn I replied to this. My apologies I didn't. I love your onxy olive egger. Did she have the same brown chipmunk coloring as a chick, or was her baby fluff more black also? I had two of their regular olive eggers a few years ago, but had to rehome them. They looked a lot like the...

    All Things Treadle Feeder

    How old are your chicks learning to use it? I like the clip idea for training the littles. It's good to know this feeder has helped with the beaking out. Some days, I lecture them about how money doesn't grow in trees, but they still aren't listening.

    All Things Treadle Feeder

    Thank you. I'm happy to know there is an lip extension. I feed pellets, and some days the girls scoop a lot.

    All Things Treadle Feeder

    Bringing back this thread instead of starting a new one, to continue questions. I have read about the Rat Proof Feeders here, and read the website. People have mentioned they have much less spillage. My girls literally scoop it out instead of eat at time, more than just a little spilllage...

    I also use Nutrena All Flock. I cannot find any complaints with it, and my girls don't seem to have any either.

    Chicks won't go into coop

    I like the concept, but absolutely no way I could do that. I have a weimaraner with an very high prey drive. I have my backyard for him about 50ft away from one side of the barn, and the coop and run hidden on the other. The less he knows about chickens, the better. lol

    Chicks won't go into coop

    Thank you for the info. The article was really informative and helped me with my layout when I build the big new coop and run.

    Chicks won't go into coop

    Thanks! My plan is see but no touch, starting around 3 to 4 weeks. I have to put a heat plate in the small coop with a thermometer to get some temperature readings first, to make sure they can receive adequate heat.

    Chicks won't go into coop

    That first one is it! Thank you! I bookmarked it this time. (I thought I did last time, but had a blonde moment.)

    Chicks won't go into coop

    I will be moving my chicks from the brooder in the garage, to a small coop and run that is located inside the big girls run, and then to the big girl coop. I am going for the letting the two older girls and the six littles get to know each other through the fencing before they all go into the...

    Roosts

    One little girl (they will be two weeks tomorrow) is definitely sleeping on her tiny roost. I will go out there and everyone is sprawled out asleep, and she is on a roost sleeping. One little over-achiever. I know who is going to be teaching the others.

    Roosts

    I don't remember what age for the last batch, but they were a few weeks old. This morning, I went into the garage, and two of the six 11 day old chicks were on their tiny training roosts, with the others asleep on the sand floor. I don't know how long they had been there, but it lasted 30...

    Chicken Math Got Me Bad....

    Number 3 looks like my Olive Eggers (Ideal does a EE/Welsummer cross) and my Welbar (which is Welsummer/Barred Rock cross). I love that little chipmunk pattern they have.

    Chickie Instinct

    Yes! My partner has never been around chickens. He still isn't sure what to think of my older two, but he knew chickens were part of the deal with me. Every time he comes in and out of the house, he stops and talks to the chickies (in the garage for now) and checks on them. Because of chicks, he...
