    After Broody Question

    I have an ameraucana who was sitting all day on the nest and I kept having to push her out to get eggs so then she would pull down an egg from the nest to sit on it in the coop, poor thing. This went on for several days so I am assuming she was broody? Shes not even 1 year old yet and this is...

    Layer feed and oyster shell?

    My girls are only 12 weeks old but when they start laying and I switch them to layer feed should I also provide oyster shell on the side? I believe layer feed has calcium in it so just want to make sure. Thanks

    A little run advise please :)

    I want to make sure I am making my coop and run as predator proof as possible. I am about 2 to 3 weeks from finally getting my 6 "pullets" (hopefully) out of the house and into the coop. Would you go higher than the 4 feet I have gone with the fabric wire? I am putting a roof on to keep it...

    Chicks Picking on 1 Chick

    I have 8 2 week old chicks and I just checked on them and one is being pecked by the others and is bleeding at her neck area and tail feather area. What can I do to prevent this? I didn't think they would do this so young? They were all fine this morning.

    My Chicks have arrived!

    My chicks arrived Tuesday from Meyers and all healthy and lively!! Loving the Ecoglow brooder. They are so fun to watch.
