Thanks, I think I will clean the sawdust out and get shaving. I don't want to take any chances with my little gals. I usually just get 3 or 4 peeps from the co-op and put then in a cage with hardware cloth bottom. But this time I got 50 and the cage was no where big enough. We built a brooder...

This is the first time I have used sawdust as litter for the little ones. I read here some where to cover it up until they knew what their food was and not to let them eat the sawdust. They are a week old now, I was wanting to know when I can quit covering the sawdust with towel or old sheets...

Hi, I tried the golf balls and they haven't worked. I haven't tried the hot sauce yet but I am going to next. My chickens have a outside run but with the weather and wind blowing so hard they want to stay inside. Moni

I don't like it. The government sticks it nose in to much.We have a small farm in Western Ky. Part of our farm is in a river bottom and declared wetlands. We can't turn a shovel of dirt with out them saying something. We don't need the government in everything. I fill out so many forms now just...

Thanks for the help. I will try both suggestions. I was getting so mad at the hens. I kept telling them the frying pan was their next nest. They kept saying, "I'm to cute to eat."

Hi, This is my first post and I need help. I am pretty sure one or 2 of my hens is eating the eggs. I have put oyster shell stuff but I still find parts of egg shells in the nest boxes. What else can I do? Thanks. hillshouse
