    Free Range girls in my garden & landscape

    My girls are free range and love, love, love the wide open areas. Unfortunately, the girls love my landscaping and rocks too. I am constantly sweeping rocks back into the landscaping. Is there such a thing as a "deterrent" (besides, penning the ladies back up) that anyone has used? I don't...

    Light or no light????

    I have had chickens in the past and was always told to keep a light on during the night for better egg laying. Is this true? We are getting ready to have daylight savings time end here in Illinois, so it will be dark by 4:30 or 5 p.m. Any comments? What about a heat lamp? Is it necessary?

    Bumblefoot scabs

    My hen had bumblefoot with no scab. And it has been over a month since we performed surgery on her. Just two weeks ago we were able to get the "cores" out of the foot by massaging and soaking her foot. It is a long process. Good luck!

    Healing after bumblefoot surgery?

    I agree with just doing the epsom salt soak once a day or whenever you get ahold of her again. Going in a second time makes it worse on the hen. I did bumblefoot surgery on my hen on August 6th and just wrapped and did soaks on her. Bumblefoot does not go away easily. Just last week I...
