    Maran? Hen or rooster

    Pretty sure its a rooster. Seems to be crowing. My husband saw it try to mount one of our hens, but wanted some other opinions. It has a floppy comb, it has some "lacy" like saddle/tail feathers.

    Wet Oyster Shell

    Does it matter if the Oyster Shell gets wet from the rain? I poured off the water and a few seemed to still eat it. Just wondering if its still beneficial when its water logged?

    changes in where hen is laying her eggs

    I have 5 chickens and finally one is starting to lay. The first 5 eggs, she layed inside a nest box. Now the last 3 she has layed in a corner of the coop. Any thoughts on how to get her back into the nest box? Anything special to entice her? LOL

    moldy food?

    We feed Scratch & Peck chicken feed which is whole grain. Yesterday the food dispenser got caught in a sudden downpour. I mixed the food all up. Some is dry, some formed crumbles from the wet stuff. I put it back in dispenser and fed it to them last night and today. I'm sure I will need to...

    Where do you offer Grit/Oyster shell?

    First of all...once your hens are on oyster shell.....do you still need to offer grit? and where do you prefer to offer it. Inside the run or inside the coop? Does it matter if it gets wet? (I think not). THANKS

    Feeder for Scratch & Peck feed?

    For those who use Scratch & Peck feed, what kind of feeder do you use? Any tips on what works best? I have one of those 11lb feeders that you add to the top. It just seems like with the extra fine dust/food that this feed creates that not all of the 'chuncky' food is making its way down...

    Run area: to dig up or not?

    Here is a picture of where we will be putting our run. To the left of this shed/coop. I will dig out a few plants that are there, but what to do with rest? Do we leave it as is and let chickens at it? Do we mow it down? Or do we rototill the whole thing for fresh dirt for chickens? THANKS...

    Roost length?

    I have six chicks (one is a bantam). We are building a 4x8 shed. Is 4 feet long enough for a roost for that amount of chickens? We are doing a poop board so trying to maximize space. Thinking of doing the roost at one one end of shed. THANKS

    Cabbage?

    I have a whole head of cabbage that is slightly wilted and we won't be eating it. Can I give it to my 8 week old chicks to peck at and eat?
