    Chicken feet how do you cook those exactly? 😂

    I read somewhere chicken feet make good broth and are not to be wasted. But the article was lacking in the how to information. Do you pull the skin off of the feet before you make broth with them? Any tips are appreciated.

    Nutri-drench question

    I am trying to give the flock a boost of vitamins. The heat has stressed them and I want to make sure they don’t get sick. I mixed the 4oz per gallon per bottle instructions. It looks like syrup. Am I understanding and mixing this correctly? Newbie concerned chick owner

    Is it true that......

    Is it true that fat chickens don’t lay well? I feed 18% layer feed free choice and a few kitchen scraps not much. Free range a few hours a day. Someone told me to feed 1/2 cup per hen per day and no more and on the ground not in the feeder. What do you guys think about this advice?

    Recommendations on culling due to Wry Tail

    Hi, I recently added three Copper Maran hens and 1 rooster to our flock. One of the hens developed Wry Tail. Since this is hereditary should we cull all four birds? They are very likely all closely related. Any advice is appreciated.
