    Ground cover??

    It's very dry and dusty here during the summer. I've spread some pine shavings around the pen to help keep dust down and it seems to work well. Would it be ok to also use some tree/brush mulch? I've got a ton from a treeline a friend cleared.

    Crooked toe

    I was cleaning the coop/brooder and noticed one of my roos has a crooked toe. Doesn't seem to effect him. I'm guessing it got broke at some time. Is there anything I should do or worry about?

    Feed changover

    Chicks are 5-6 weeks old and are almost done with their chick feed. Are they old enough for feed, grit, oyster shell? As for grit, what is necessary? I have a good sandbank on the property, and their pen is mostly dirt/sand is this ok or do I need to buy something? Thank you! Love this forum.

    Chicks eat dead wasp

    I killed a wasp in the coop and the chicks got ahold of it. They are 2.5-3 weeks old. Will it hurt them? I've seen them go after a couple flies too. Are they old enough for this?

    Chicks get more space!

    I've got 2.5-3 week chicks and have had them in a 32"x6' brood and they have loved it. They're getting big fast so now I've given them an additional 8'x4' + area. They seem to love it, now they can sleep in the sun if they wish. Second picture is after they wore themselves out. Lol

    Is this normal? Dusting?

    I've had my chicks for 12 days, they've been doing great. Just noticed this chick doing this this morning. It's also panting really hard while doing this. Normal or should I be worried?

    First tail feathers

    As of today I've had my chicks a week, and they're growing like weeds. Wing feathers are coming in nicely and just noticed the first signs of tail feathers. This is more fun than I thought it would be. They seem to enjoy their area, 6'x32" and temps ranging from 65°-90° depending on distance...

    New to chickens not framing 😁

    Hello all, I'm new to raising chickens, but not new to animals or the outdoors. I was a house framer for 20 years so I'm building a small house for my flock. Not quite done but getting there. Still have to design the inside so I'll definitely be looking for pointers. Currently 12 chicks with...
