    Mixed flock, they keep mixing the oyster shell into the pellets

    Hi! I've read for obvious reasons don't mix the oyster grit with the pellets. I put the grit on the other side of the coop of the food in a little terracotta dish so that it's not easily kicked over like plastic (I have Bantams). The feed is served in a thick solid glass container. They INSIST...

    Mildly urgent- one rooster if three is picked on and I’m going away next week

    Hi, hope it’s ok to post here. Have three roosters, silkies (plain silkie, frizzle silkie and showgirl) raised from chicks hoping for at least one hen.
