AWEEEEEEE
Curious about something...... Has anyone found worms in their chickens or their chickens poo since they started fermenting their food?
Also got another question....... I have mega memory problems right now so I can't remember if this could happen or not.
Once you put their...
Wondering WHY the chickens slow down on eating their FF? They'll almost eat us out of house and home ;-) at times and then some times it looks like they only eat a handful. WHY is this? There will be days they wont hardly eat at all and they were penned up when they were doing this and no free...
GOOD idea! Thanx! Didn't think about that! Although now I'm thinking their heads are going to be too big SOON to be able to get through those small holes in the thing. Might need another rain gutter. lol
mine do the same thing although they're a month old and they have the long red chick feeder. I NEED to go get the cover and put on it but I bet their heads wouldn't fit into those holes now. I keep moving their metal things I have their food sitting on so they can get all the food under it they...
GOOD idea with the little roof. My juvies as I call them want to walk around IN THE trough! ARG! Might have to find me something to rig up on mine so they can't get IN the thing!
yeah it really is very easy and some times we just make too much out of it. I read and read and read some more and then jumped in and did it. Haven't looked back since!!!!
It's a PITY there can't be a sticky for lack of a better word on here some where we could point them to every time they ask the same questions over and over. Not the same person asking the same ? but new ones. It sure would help to have directions and it stay put so we could say, here, this is...
Don't give them a choice, leave it there and they'll eat it when they get hungry. It's sooooo much better for them when it's been fermented than the regular food is and you know what's better for them. Same with your kids, you don't feed them sugar 24-7 or snacks 24-7, you feed them what you...
Can't remember WHO it was that told me this when I was telling about how I had made some nesting boxes for my chickens out of milk crates and they WOULD NOT use them. Well they suggested I put something over them because they like privacy so I hung an old sheet behind them on the wall and took...
ahhhh OK, thanx..... I haven't seen her doing it anymore but she sure is laying some eggs that's for sure. Those RIR's have really laid some eggs since they started laying. I'm trying to find someone now for my BA's because I am tired of fighting their broody-ness and can't have them all sitting...
Wondering about something here and want your input on it.......This was posted on my FB page and I was wondering how I could incorporate it into my ff? Wouldn't need the probiotics but the other stuff seems like it would be good for the hens. I know someone on here awhile back told me how good...
is anyone else having trouble finding the submit of preview button when they use the quote button? ughhhhhh
I just had to cut and paste my reply here.......
oh I have no clue on the de-stressed look. Don't think I ever had one like that before. She acts fine except for walking like that. I...
Well I feel much better now knowing she's going to be ok. Most all the Aussies have went broody so my egg intake is down now. Going to get rid of those things soon I hope! Anyway good to know she's fine.
Any idea why a grown chicken walks backwards with her head down toward the ground? Saw her do it twice this evening. She's eating and acting normal otherwise. I gave her/them some fresh garlic and some vitamins and electrolytes this evening. It's been raining here for days now almost all day...
