    Chicken mauled. Still alive

    Found one of my girls on my deck. Thought she was dead but she's still breathing. Lots of missing feathers. What should I do? She doesn't move. Eyes closed but breathing. I've got her wrapped in a towel holding her. I don't see any injuries other than she's wet and a lot of missing feathers

    Metal shed

    I think the ground in the shed feels moist (to me. I still like to go barefoot even here in Ky). It's clay-ish. Should I put more dirt on top? Different type of dirt? I just figured concrete would make it easier to clean.

    Metal shed

    Hi all. So I just moved from Orlando Fl where I had a cow panel coop, which was perfect for my girls, to caneyville ky. Big BIG change for me.

    Different Question about a lighted coop

    I know the "coop Lighting" question has been gone over and over again and again, but I have a question that I'm not sure about. I know that some people say "give the girls a break in the winter time" by never putting a light in the coop. I had just gotten a new batch of girls, and decided when...

    Flax seeds

    I know that for humans, we have to grind up flax seed to get any nutritional value from it, but do I have to do that for the chickens too? wouldn't they just be able to grind it up in their crop?

    24 weeks and not a single egg

    That would be recommended.  It's the easiest way to make sure she's getting everything she needs. [/quote Do I mix it in with the chick feed? I still have several girls that haven't started laying yet
