    How/what to feed baby chicks hatched by broody hen?

    When we hatched with a broody, lots of people had all different experiances. From horror stories, to easy peasy. Our experiance was awesome, easy, and a thrill to watch the mama teach the babies about life. We put crumble in the food container for a month. Mama showed the babies where the food...

And the racoons got sick of being shot at by a pellet rifle 2 years ago. Havnt seen any predators since. Our cat is very territorial. You...

    Washingtonians Come Together! Washington Peeps

    I used 3 pictures as my reference, then free handed it. I liked the tail of one, breast of another, and legs and comb of one. I combined all three to get my rooster. You've seen it in person : P

    Well, I finally got a hold of one GCM pullet. Thanks go to Travis Lacey.

Now it is under our...

    How/what to feed baby chicks hatched by broody hen?

    She has been doing that this past two days. I also took the hanging feeders and set them on the ground. I put marbles in the water feeder as well so the chicks dont fall in and drown. Our other seven hens dont seem to mind the marbles either. So all is well in our coop. 7 roosting hens, and 1...

    How/what to feed baby chicks hatched by broody hen?

    Thank you for your reply. We are a day away from our broody hatching eggs. She is in the main coop, and we have been wondering if momma feeds the chicks. We have hanging feeders, and I have been thinking of just putting the feeders on the ground for two weeks. And smashing the pellets for a...

    Got sand? You should!

    I use construction grade sand, not play sand. Play sand does not have enough different sizes of granuals (sp?) to work properly. When it rains, it firms up like sand on the beach, but does not get solid, like concrete. It dries out much faster then dirt ever could, and sand is easier to clean...

    Got sand? You should!

    We just have 3" of sand in the run, with bare dirt under it. The coop has 1 1/2" of sand inside it. We made it through our first mild winter and those days were it got down to 14 degree. I dont recall all of the sand freezing, just the patches of moisture froze. Our girls made it through there...
