    Aviary grit for chickens

    Went to my local feed store and all they had was aviary grit. I was told by one of the workers who is raising 200 chicks that aviary grit is okay to feed 6 week old chicks. Anyone ever use aviary grit for chickens?

    Ok thank you. I am just a worry wort. Trying to avert before it happens, but sometimes may cause another problem. I will wait to deworm them. Maybe next fall if needed.

    Feeding worms from compost pile

    Awwww! Monkey is a beautiful bird. Love the different shades of color on her feathers. Ya! I noticed the garage is more dusty now.

    New to chickens in my yard

    That is scary. Good thing your chicks were a little older. Otherwise, they would have been tasty morsels. I watched several videos on YouTube of chickens the day after an attack and its so heartbreaking. I have an extra wired pen I can use to cover them while they are outside. Will need to put...

    Hello from Silicon Valley

    Hello Cheryl in Milpitas! You still raising chickens? If so, how many are allowed in the city. I was reading the ordinance and it says "no more than 20 birds". That right?
