    Will they find the water?

    I built a automatic waterer using water nipples. I know for sure that 2 of my 4 chicks (8 weeks old) know how to get water from the nipples. I'm not sure about the other 2 though. I'm kinda scared to remove the 1 gallon watering bowl because I don't want them to not have water if they need...

    The truth about mealworms

    Can mealworms really eat through your chickens stomach? I read you are supposed to crush or remove their heads before feeding them to your chickens. I find this hard to belive. What is the real deal regarding this? Thx

    How old before feeding scratch?

    I have 4, 7 week old chicks. They are on a diet of Grower Nutrena Grower Crumbles. Is it too early to start introducing them to scratch in their run?

    Medicated feed after 6 weeks

    I am switching from starter mash to grower crumbles and was told that at this stage the medicated feed is no longer neccesary. What are your thoughts about this. I just want to make sure the chickens are protected if need be but don't want to over medicate if it isn't neccesary Thanks

    What's the real deal with Grit?

    What is the proper way to feed grit? It is really necessary if the Chickens are eating feed and occasionally getting a treat such as grass clippings and meal worms? I was just wondering if I should run out and get some or if I only really need it if they eat certain foods. I have 4 chickens...

    How old before you are supposed to offer grit?

    I have 4 pullets that just turned 4 weeks old yesterday. How long before I start to introduce grit in to their diet? I just started giving them a few mealworms as treats. I just wanted to make sure they would be able to digest them or anything else, like hay, that they might ingest. Right...
