    So right now I have four hens that were all born the same day. One golden sex link, two barred rocks and a cuckoo maran. My golden started laying perfectly beautiful brown eggs about three weeks ago. My maran had been acting ready, making a nest, being submissive. Anyway, she layed a tiny little...

    Can I feed my flock frozen raw eggs as treats?

    I read someplace a while back ( not sure where ) and it said as a treat on hot days as well as a good source of calcium you ca give them frozen raw eggs. I wanted to make sure before I actually did this, that it was ok. Thank you!

    Here is a question regarding comb colors and roosters vs pullets.

    Are all rooster combs pink or red? Or is it different from breed to breed? I have some seven week olds outside and haven't noticed red or pink combs forming. My golden sex link is yellow comb and my Moran, Dominique and barred rock are all dark blackish. Thanks :)

    A couple project I have been working on for the chickens

    Making a run for the babies. Gotta add the chicken wire and make a door. Then I also made a feeder for the because they are so messy and I hate having the feeder on the ground. I'm pretty excited about them both!

    My coop doesn't have a real floor it just sits right on the floor. So how do I clean it?

    So I have chicken wire on the bottom so that predators won't crawl under it. However if I put a tarp on top of that and then shavings would that work? That way I can take the tarp out clean it and sanitize it. Anyway would that work?
