Mix grit or not?

Have had New Hampshire reds for the last 5 years! Just got 6 black sex links , was wondering if anybody likes these chickens or not! Hopefully good results!

This past Monday , October 6th,2014 I had one of my chickens killed and devoured by 2 raccoons! She was the best layer , a white rock. They were foolish enough to hang around on the coop roof waiting for their next meal! Got them both with a 22! They would have come back if I shooed them away...

I have 8 hens , mixed breeds. They are a year and a half old and I gather 6-7-8 eggs a day which makes it all worthwhile! They all seem happy most of the time except for this past winter , it was cold and snowy and also their 1st winter. Just watching them eat the treats they get is entertaining...

When do I sign up for Obama care?

9 months into having 8 hens is great so far , this cold snap in Vermont is not what they wanted! They like to explore and they love their treats!

I have 8 and get 5-6 a day still in this cold weather with no extra lighting. They are 9 months old , [one is one and a half years old ]. One is in full molt but they are happy with their special treats they get.

Merry x-mas to all!

I am going to try hay in the run to see how it works. My 8 chickens would never let it get matted , they will tear it apart and fluff it up! Will cover the outside of the run where I put it and it will help get them outside instead of hiding in their coop. Will let you know how it works. I use...

Nice job! Keeps us all busy thinking how are the chicks doing.

My hens are 8 months old and one has started to molt around the neck and tail feathers , have 8 total , one is year and a half years old. Hope they all don't molt at once , stress of cold weather doesn't help!

When they start losing neck feathers will they also lose all the rest of their feathers?

I have a new Hampshire red and has just started loosing her neck feathers , she is only 8 months old. I thought they molted when they were a little older , her 3 sisters haven't started yet. Her comb has also changed color - purple ish . The cold weather hopefully won't bother this as we are...

As soon as it started to get cold here in Vt. my Rhode Island Red has decided to take up residence in the nest box at night. She normally roost with her 7 other buddies but has changed habit in the cold. Yup , poop in the box! Can't blame her , it is cold out there. Not sure what I am going to do.

She was just yoking with ya! ha Young birds are exciting , mysteries every day! New at it till their cycle becomes adjusted , takes a while.

Very nice! Wonderful flock of birds , time consuming at times but worth it!

I hope my birds don't molt in the winter time , it's too cold here in Vermont!

Very nice , how many chickens do you have?
