    Are my hens becoming nervous because of this... or is it just me?

    When I got rid of my roo, it took my girls 4 days to decide it was a 'good' thing.. They would not come out of the coop at first. They would stay on the roost until I removed them...I started to use a little treats... One of my Buff Orpington Hens took over as "Boss" and they have been just fine...

    blind hen laying!

    I have a hen who ( I think) is blind. She rarely ever leaves the coop and when I place her out in the run, she walks around the fence edge until she finds the door. I wasn't sure why her eye site was bad I didn"t notice any damage anywhere-- She was about 2.5 yrs old when I realized she was...

    Grass clippings

    I found that the girls love the really short clippings. If it is over 3" high, I will double cut it, rake it and pour it in the run.. I don't use any chemicals on my garden or my yard so they get a little of everything..

    Chicken wire or hardware cloth?

    Because we live in the deep woods/country--we have every kind of predator you can name. Everything from black bear (Not often seen but there have been a few sitings) to domestic dogs and cats.

    What time do you let your chickens out?

    I let mine girls out around 7 am.. This is where that 4sq ft x 1 chicken (or more) of coop floor space is great.. Each night, I fill all the feeders and make sure the waterer is clean and full and I throw a handful of premium birdseed down on the floor for them to scratch thru.. If I am...

    birdnetting and snakes!

    It is sold at Lowe's as 'bird-netting' --for fruit trees etc.. Maybe the holes are 1/2" sq.. Not sure. If you place it loosely the snakes try to go thru it and then out another hole.. they can't back out because of scales (so I have been told)... and get tangled in the netting.
