    The Girls Are Turning 1!!

I have been reading various posts about some concerns and questions I have, but I think it would be easier to ask this way: What types of things should I be doing/looking for at this stage in their life? For example (sorry, I have been...

    How much, how often...and well...How?

    O.k. I am a newbie. My chicks are 12 weeks old and have been getting Poulin chick starter. About a month ago they began attacking the feed container (red rectangle with holes) and after I filled it, they would dump it over and spill it everywhere. I figured they were hungry so I bought a...

    Feed questions and basic bragging

    O.k. so I feel SOOO incredibly "capable" right now. Friends can't believe we moved to a farm, and are astounded that I have chickens now....This weekend I cleaned out the coop in the barn, emptied everything out, cleaned, washed, set up the new stuff etc. Then I got the girls the hell out of...
