    Eating Fertilized Eggs and Vegetarianism

    She is definitely leaning vegan. However, I'm concerned about her being able to manage such a restrictive diet at such a young age so I've manipulated things a little bit so that she is willing to eat eggs and dairy products. The organic milk carton has a website with lots of happy cow...

    Eating Fertilized Eggs and Vegetarianism

    Does anyone have a problem with eating eggs from hens that are housed with a rooster? My 14 year-old daughter is pitching a fit because we are getting 2 pullets and a roo this weekend. She is vegetarian but eats eggs and milk if it is ethically raised, i.e. organic milk only and eggs from the...

    Heat Lamp

    I am getting 3 6-week-old chicks this weekend, so I am hoping that they can go right in the coop with a heat lamp at night. Having my previous 4 chicks in the dining room was charming but I am -too- ready to have a dust-free house again!! One question, how hot is too hot at night? My 250 watt...

    More chicks?

    Hi all. I've been reading this site for a long time! I'm glad to finally have a reason to post. I am the proud mom of 4 young chicks. They are 3-4 weeks old now and have completed their move to their new chicken tractor. It has a run area of 4' x 12' and a coop area 4' x 6'. I had wanted...
