I have 4 hens and one Rooster. Mine aren't free range either. I have 4 nesting boxes. All 4 hens lay and they all 4 lay in the same one. I didn't realize they would do that. I did have a member on here tell me that it's OK to have 4 hens to every box. I just didn't know that they knew that.. 🤣🤣...
I had some issues with my Roo 🐓 also when he matured. He seems to be OK for the time being . I had to separate him for just a bit. He is doing better now. He still seems to be protective of his hens 🐔🐔🐤🐥 though. I can get along with him how he is at the moment. I thought about getting rid of...
I got up early this morning with my Roo Roo and weeded my garden. All of it. I figured I would go ahead with all the rain and mist we are getting here on the east coast. While the ground is nice and moist. Plus my beans are getting bigger every day. Ao that's wjta I've done..🐓🐓🫛🫛🫛🍓🍅🫒🫑🌶🫘🍌🍉🧅🧅 🌧🌧🦀🦀🦀
Well, I got a little surprise when moved my hens and my rooster into the new pen. So a few days ago I had asked a question on here about what is normal for them not to lay everyday or was I giving you many treats to them that it was affecting their laying. Anyways, when I moved the chickens out...
Thank you so much for all your advice. That is exactly what I did was put the hay in the run and the shavings in the nesting boxes. I didn't know that they share nesting boxes either. So that's great to know. I thought they were sharing cause they had too. OK well it sounds like I'm all good to...
I have another question if you don't mind me asking.
I'm building a bigger chicken pen. I am making laying boxes for each Hen and we are also making the run bigger for them. My chickens stay in a pen. They aren't free range chickens. OK so I have hay that I've gotten and I have shavings. Which...
Hello to all, first off just want you all to know I absolutely 💯 love this app. The other apps that they have that I thought would be the same??? Yeah, NO definitely not. The other apps about chickens are nothing at all like this app. Thank you all for making this app awesome.
Now to my...
I use the chicken manure tea also. I put my waste into a compost bin and it stays their until I use it. While it sits though it turns into compost and is a rich dark color too. Then I make the tea out of that compost. That being said I don't have to wait to use it and I can use it in my garden...
I have always planted sunflowers in my vegetable garden. I've never had any problems either. I don't know if it's what is planted beside the sunflowers makes the difference or not?? Good question though!! I just always have.
I watered real early this morning. I also pulled any grass and weeds out that was growing around my plants. I planted some flowers that I have had for awhile. Well I planted the seeds. I'm nervous about growing flowers . I don't think i have ever started a flower from a seed except of course...
Thank you for your advice. I stood facing him after he did attack me and started walking directly towards him until he backed down. I also went back in 2 more times today in the coop so he wouldn't think he intimidated me. Don't know if it worked or not or if they even think that way. Either...
