Along this line but in a somewhat different direction, and forgive me if this is addressed in another page, but I'm curious as to how often others make "feed" available to their flock when they free range all day. We've been accustomed to leaving their feed out, available, all day and they come...

I know this thread is old but I'm hoping someone with lots of experience will respond. Our rooster is 1-1/2 year old and has become unacceptably aggressive. We've never eaten one of our chickens but would like to try it with him. I've read enough to understand that the only way to tenderize...

I hope several people will chime in, in reply because I need advice. We have several hens who have been going through such a molt that we haven't gotten any of our eggs in weeks. So Saturday I broke down and bought eggs from the store and because I'm so used to leaving OUR eggs on the counter...

This is probably a dumb question but what is NN?

So pretty. I wish I lived closer.

Any pics yet? That is adorable baby!

Stunning! Splash Marans?

She is beautiful!

My rooster is a Black Marans and among the blue eggs that hatched, some belonged to a Black Ameraucana, and some belonged to an Easter Egger, so those have small combs anyway. The eggs from my Cream Crested Legbar should (?) wind up with more significant combs but nothing so far, except the...

I will see what I can do. :-)

I have 9 chicks that hatched out a little over 10 weeks ago. Because I was going for dark brown and olive colored eggs, I put specific eggs beneath my broody so there are multiple breeds in this gang. Two have been crowing for a couple of weeks but I'm having difficulty believing only 2 out of...

This is great! Now I have some ideas of what I already have that I can use! Thank you so much for including pictures! I did get them outside yesterday in a small tractor for several hours but not without drama and had not thought that would be a possibility every day. The tractor is quite...

We don't have a secure outside pen at this time. But I will see what I can do.

I hope someone is online who can advise me on a different question regarding new chicks. One of my hens hatched out 2 babies 3 days ago. The three of them are isolated away from everyone else in a pen in our basement. Momma is doing a great job at teaching them to eat, drink and scratch. The...

I believe I read on here that once the hen gets off the nest with hatched chicks, she is done with the remaining eggs. Is that the general consensus on here?

Would it be possible for you to post any pictures of your setup. I am intrigued by your description. (I would also love to see your Would it be possible for you to post any pictures of your setup. I am intrigued by your description. (plus I would love to see your chickens!)

What I'm wondering about is sprouting the chia seeds, ya know, fodder. Remember the chia pets? They do make that grass which I would think would be great nutritionally.

I am so sad no one replied to this thread at your time of need. Not only because you needed feedback and support, but also because I have been contemplating planting Four O'Clocks and have been searching and searching to find someone who could say just what you asked, if anyone had observed how...

Thanks to all who replied to my question about what to do this afternoon. Things soon to be going well at this time.
