Hi everyone, I went out this morning and found one of my Neighbours hens with 13 chicks
she had hatched behind my coop.Their chickens are always in my yard hanging around my girls they never feed or lock up their birds they kinda just let them
be. The question I have is should I try to catch the...
I finally got the guts to let them out today.All in all it went well I didn't think they would go back in but
they did all on their own.It was fun watching them explore their new world.
Is it as simple as opening the gate? Will they come back too roost?
Also for the first time should I let them out at the end of the day or will that not matter
Thanks.
Is it normal for chickens to molt this time of year?
I am thinking it's getting a little cold to be without a coat.
Also how long till new feathers come in?
Thanks.
Here it comes! Anyone else in the way?
What have you done or are gonna do to get ready?
Today I will get gas and make sure the generator is working. Also pick up loose things around the yard.
Any thoughts on adding a Roo that is five months old to a flock of hens that are 15 months old.
He looks fairly good size in the pic, I am going to try to see him tomorrow.
Should I be trying to find one a little older?
Thanks.
OK, I thought I had a broody now I'm not so sure.
I have one hen that stays in the nest box quite a bit. When she does come out to eat the others chase her around
like they are gonna kick her butt. Any thoughts on what is happening or what if anything needs to be done? This has been
Going on for...
I have one hen out of 10 that went broody about a week ago.
My questions are if I were to get some fertile eggs and place them under her would she hatch them?
Also would I need to separate them from the other 9 after they do hatch?
Anyone know if Chipmunks are bad to have around?
It seems like the population has doubled around my property this year.
just wondering if I should adopt a management program.
Thanks.
This morning we were woke up by the girls screaming their heads off at a fox that was standing outside their run
looking in at them. Some had ran inside but a couple stayed outside to fend him off. Thanks to all the advice from everyone on this
website, My run and coop were secure. Their was no...
OK Here is my Dilemma.
I have a neighbour to the South of me about 1/4 of a mile That sells eggs for $2.00 a dozen.
And a neighbour to the North of me about the same distance as the other person, that also sells for $2.00 a dozen.
What should I do To sell eggs?
Am I too close to the other...
We were thinking of doing a road trip this summer to see the falls
I have never been and was looking for some advice on what side to go on? USA or Canada?
Also are there other things to do and see that I should not miss?
Thanks.
Anyone ever get one of these from a standard chicken? It's about the size of a cherry tomato.
Everyone was laying perfect eggs then yesterday someone misfired.
Today back to normal. I can't wait to crack it open, I wonder if it has a tiny yolk?
This is my question.
Currently I have 10 Hens and no roo.
Can you guys help me with the pros and cons of getting a roo?
The noise factor is not an issue since my neighbours are not close.
Thanks.
Anyone have any problems when they have switched brands of layer feed? Currently I feed Nutrena naturewise and I was thinking about switching to
Purena Layina. At the present time everyone is laying and I wasn't sure if I would mess them up by switching feed.
Thanks.
Today I threw some Leaves in the run, They went nuts. With everything being frozen solid they loved it.
Does anyone else add stuff to the run in the winter?
