Well if you are trying the deep cleaning method then rake it once a week and then add more bedding on top every couple of weeks or so. After about a year I remove everything down to the floor and start all over. Remember clean chickens are happy chickens.
That would be great!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was hoping I'd hear someone say leghorn! Could mine be leghorns? Thanks Rockerhen, you've just made our day!! Fingers crossed!
LOL....we too got ours for eggs, pets, weed eaters and compost makers! If they are Cornish x I've been told they won't live much past 3 months before they have health problems. We love ours and couldn't think of eating them. I'm taking them to a local swap meet next Saturday to see if anyone...
I got these from my local TSC. Were suppose to be red pullets. They turned out to be cornish x. This is at a little over 6 weeks old. Do yours seem to being growing right in front of your eyes?
