How do I keep my chickens close to home. They go too far from the coop for safety. We have raccoons and hawks around. I have wooded area around and they like going into the forest. I keep an eye out for predators but can't be there all the time. Will throwing out corn scratch help keep them in...
My girls just started laying. I found a half shell of an egg this morning. Then a hen layed one and then another one broke it and they all started eating it! What to do?
When do I change from starter feed? Got them 2-3 days old on 8-12-24. They are starting to lay eggs. Wanting layers. Have Rhode Island Reds. What do I go to now? Thanks!
Day 3 of chicks. Temp running 93-95. Been giving Sav a chick electrolytes and probiotics and 2 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar in a gallon of filtered water for 2 days. Have cut it in half on day three. They are active and look good. One had a pasty butt but have cleaned it up. Am I doing it...
