Chickens can eat just about anything and be OK. Make sure they have plenty of water. I've fed my chickens pizza, and every other kind of table scrap for years and not had any issues. Used to keep over 100 chickens of all breeds. As long as they have access to regular chicken feed and water they...
Yes they can. Every bird is different. Our long time guard rooster George challenged myself and my dad however both of us gave him a good strong boot when he did and he never tried again. And was always pleasant arround us.
My mother on the other hand was scared of him and would scream and yell...
I've found a few odd poops in the barn with brown lines, I always figured it was just chickens stepping in them.
Until today I found this!!! WTF is THAT!?
So I have this chick, hes normal, absorbed yolk and all, but hes not as good on his feet or growing as well as his sibling.
I noticed today that his once soft abdomen now has a hard lump inside. You cant see it but you can feel it, hes had a little problem with pasty butt but so has the other...
Yes but none in my state, can you send that link?
And can anyone clarify if feeding them make them grow? it doesnt work like tht with my other chickens lol
Are those giant brahmas a breed? Or just a fluke?
I want to get some of the very large ones, but no idea where to even start looking. Hatcheries tell me they have 8lb average birds, I'd like to get something in the teens.
Anyone have any idea?
Thanks!
I am looking to get 10 chicks of BLRW breed, or splash color, but looking for nice dark red and blue, not hatchery orange. Looking for them at a reasonable price, need not be show quality.
Please comment if you have any!
Will consider hatching eggs!
No the table scraps I feed are full of nutritional value. It's left over from what we eat. Meat scraps and trimmings amoung other things. So full of protein for one since now that's it's hunting season they get deer scraps.
The chickens prefer corn over their feed on most days. I often wet...
Yes but how are the scraps bad? They also eat plenty of high quality pellets and corn, all by choice free feeding, they eat what they want as much as they want. Scraps are a bonus for them not a main feed.
Any ways I can combat their boredom? Aside from upsizing, can't do that right now. I do...
Use to free range until peoples dogs killed my entire flock twice. So now I've got all the chickens in a run that is 50' by 100'
I feed a mix of corn and layer pellets and whatever they find in the run plus table scraps daily. Oyster shell as well
I've had the same group in the same place...
Ive got half my flock tail picking eachother.
Anyone know how to stop this? I've tried no pick to no avail.
They have ruined all my long feathered birds tails none have butts any more
Also some bear pluckers on my favorite rooster and now all this beard feathers aren't growing back...
