    Why do you guys give your chickens apple cider vinegar?

    Roy Rooster saved me a lot of time. For Chickens 1 TBS per gallon of water. at least once a week. Twice won't hurt For people I mix 2 TBS per gallon of water. Refrigerate and drink a cup or so a day. The main reason you don't see tests on Organics and home remedies is the Pharmaceutical...

    Will broody hen adopt chicks?

    Good advice from everyone. I use Cochins for that very thing. I have a few Cochin Hens that see babies and go right to work, broody or not. Cochins are the best I have found for this. I also hatch in a bator and as soon as everyone is dry out to a hen they go. I think it makes for healthier Chicks.

Candle the 2 that she has now. They should be completely dark with a small clear spot in the round end. If they are clear...

    Layer feed enough

    They do drop a few. Especially when they fight over who's going to carry the basket. But I remember how fun it was to help Grand Dad tend his Flock. I got to take my first Chickens Home when I was 7. Sure would like to have some of those OEGB's I didn't know I had. Wild Bantams those were some...
