I have a Hurom juicer. Love it. My hens gobble it up too. I have a little lemon in my juice & am wondering if it will hurt them. It's a very small amount compared to all the other veggies & fruit in the juice. Also, will a little ginger hurt them?? If so, I will add last & remove the other pulp.

I have layer feed pellets out along with the grower feed. I also have oyster shell out. My younger pullets don't eat the layer feed. They gobble up the grower feed though. If my laying hens eat the grower feed its ok cause I see them in the oyster shell. My older hens are also eating the layer...

TXchickmum, it's hard to believe these little chickens lay these delicious eggs!! I have a total of 17, with 4 being bantams. I have 3 young barred rocks & 10 full size hens. They are all laying pretty good & I've figured out my feeding for everyone. We are building a pavilion outside our run...

My little Tiny (her name) just laid our first little egg. She was so proud of herself. I have no Roos but when I see her every morning she gets in her crouch position for a little pat & is so adorable. I'm enjoying her very much. I have 2 other bantams, a Cochin Precious & a golden brahma Millie...

In my situation we are in a subdivision but have over 2 acres. I have a large coop a large run that my girls are in most all the time. We can't have roosters or free ranging chickens, but they really have a great place!! I'm going to go get the grower feed & with the oyster shell I have out I'm...

With those of us that are "newbies" there are questions that I personally have that I appreciate help from those of you that have experience. It's kinda like holding up your hand in first grade to ask a question & someone laughing. Maybe I'm a little sensitive...sorry...didn't mean to sound like...

I was really concerned about the medicated feed being out & my laying hens getting that. I feed my girls lots of veggie scraps & they love watermelon. I don't think asking a question or two is too far out though. I really thought this forum was to bounce around questions without being laughed...

Thanks!!! Y'all are the best!!!!

I have a question about feed. I have 3 young pullets that have been integrated into the coop with my laying hens. I don't know what to do about feed. I have feed out all the time, but I'm concerned that the chicks are eating too much of the laying feed. I am putting the chicks on non-medicated...

I have a hen that was laying eggs every day for about a week. For the last few days she has been lethargic & her poop is bright green. She is eating & drinking, but I'm very concerned about her. She is not laying now. I had a chicken that I thought was a hen, but turned out to be a roo. I had...

I've just started seeing eggs in a nest box. Now my Cochin that I thought was Louise is crowing & I saw "her" on top of my hen that is laying. Obviously Louise is Louie!!! My question is, should we eat the eggs since we have some chicken sex going on???? I'm so sad about the rooster. I can't...

I just got my first egg yesterday!!!YAY Anyway, Maple , was hatched in Feb. so she is 5 mo. Old. also, I just saw my Cochin trying to mate with her. I thought my Cochin was a hen, now I don't know!! Anyone have any advice? I'm so new at this. My hen that is laying now is a Rhode Island Red. I'm...

Thanks. I'll check into it.

I will look at getting some sand in the run. I have planted all around for the girls to reach through the fence, I was wondering if anyone had a suggestion about grass to plant that is not coated with chemicals, or anything else that might work. Thanks flowerfaeiry

Our chicken run is large but muddy. I want to plant some grass seed or something to help with the mud. It's like monsoon season in Atlanta now. I have lots of shade too. Any suggestions???

Thanks. I did put a large stone in the nest boxes. My hens aren't old enough to start laying yet, but I didn't want them to get in the habit of pooping & laying in the same place. I'm just learning all this & I'm having fun. Also, I had bought a barred rock chick as a hen & Suzy ended up being a...

My hens are pooping in their nest boxes. Any advice on how to stop them from doing this?? I have plenty of roosts & my coop is large for the 14 hens I have. They are about ready to start laying & I'm worried about all the poop in the boxes. Thanks
