My chickens have the run of a large garden from early to late but are established so when getting new chickens that are vaccinated do you put them in and hope for the best?
Since having my feathered mafia girls I have not bought a single egg from a supermarket and I supply my neighbour and my childs school as they request them ... Has anyone bought a supermarket egg since having their 'girls'?
My feathered lovely girls are called 'Back, Sac, Crack and Brazillian' ... I have been promised a Cockeral as a birthday present and need a name in keeping with the girls and 'Cocky' seems the only obvious one I can think of .. Any ideas ....
Although my chickens are out all day in the garden and they have their corn, pellets and shell ... I still make them up a tray of mixed food including porridge, rice, vegetables etc and keep it in what I now call the 'Clucky Fridge' just for them and its given to them once a day but although...
Does the egg supply stop during cold weather? My four are still laying at the minute. I have read its better to insulate the coop from outside not the inside so the cluckies cannot eat it. Some advice would be great but I really don't want to put heaters in in case of fire.
