    Under the deck chicken tractor and possible lawn

    How big is your yard? I don't think 2-3 hens will destroy your grass with limited free ranging. I would say they could be out 4-5 hours and not do much damage. My 6 hens free range in our 100 x100 ft fenced in yard. I still have green grass and plenty of it. I do sprinkle their feed at the...

    feeding Chickens Black pepper

    I believe this does work, but may really be related to the chickens water intake. My 6 girls are laying 4-5 eggs a day here in the cold dark North East I try to make sure they get fresh warm water twice a day. We do not have lights on them and I have found them in the coup roosting as early...

    Hello from NY state ... Otsego county

    Nice to meet you, I am from Madison County, not too far away. Sounds like you are doing great. I have 6 Redstars (red sexlinks), they are giving us between 4 and 6 eggs a day. I have always wanted to hatch some chicks.

    Why All The "Junk"?

    I think it all comes down to whether you have "more time than money" or "more money than time"

    Why All The "Junk"?

    Here is my little coop. We built it this summer to house our six hens after the old coup was torn apart by a friends dog. It took us three weeks to build because we used primarily recycled/leftover materials.

    Our Dog almost got the ladies.

    My Australian Shepard "Sadie" really likes her chickens. She does like to herd them. But she never really bites them she will push them around with her nose. This picture was taken several years ago. My hens are all grown now and free range with the dog in our fenced yard. I hope this...

    Cherry sawdust/shavings, OK to use?

    I know black walnut has some toxic properties, that's why I asked. It is from nice dry boards. I'll see if someone chimes in who has actually used it. It's beautiful shavings would be a shame to let it go to waste. Thanks

    Cherry sawdust/shavings, OK to use?

    Connecticut!

    My chickens just molted, it seemed like forever. We got 6 Redstar (red sex-link) hens from craigslist on July 26th. They layed well for about a month then the number of eggs dropped to 0. They were all in an obvious molt, we got worried and checked for lice and mites, (nothing) dusted with DE...
