    'Possum in the hen house!!

    That's what I've been doing for over a week now! they're fine in the run, but at night, they all manage to escape. I've secured all the areas and trimmed feathers. they hop and claw their way over the fence! It is a sight. They settled nicely inside the run though- they just leave at night...

    'Possum in the hen house!!

    I had a possum get in my house and scare my girls too- it ate an egg and their food...they're all okay (they are a nervous bunch in the first place), but now they will not go in their coop at night, even though the possum is gone. What can I do? I have cleaned the coop thoroughly and replaced...

    when will my hens lay???

    Thanks! I haven't been on here in a long while, but my gal started laying around 4 weeks ago. Then, two weeks ago a bored neighborhood dog got in the pen and used her as a chew toy :( So, she's gone and NONE of my girls are laying. We have been having predator issues left and right. No...

    mixed layer and starter feed

    My sweet husband (who is not a chicken guy), in an effort to help out poured all my medicated starter feed into the can of my layer feed. I can kinda see where it is separated based upon the size of the chick crumble, but a lot of it got mixed. I don't want to dump all the feed and start over...

    Coconut Pulp/Cocofeed

    Coconut Pulp/Cocofeed

    I just came across your post- years too late maybe. I get coconut pulp in bulk from a local who makes her own coconut oil. I have it coming out of my ears. I freeze it...My suggestion, find some islanders- regardless of the island. Begin to ask around about who makes their own oils, then ask...

    when will my hens lay???

    all but one of the 6 are laying! my first 3 are all finally laying! I really suspect that their nutrition and conditions for their first 3-4 months ( before I got them) was detrimental. 2 if them only started laying a week or 2 ago, at 11 months old. 2 of my 3 EE are laying...

    when will my hens lay???

    I've got one that contributes to lay quite well...I considered adding a light to the coop, but the hassle of running electrical down there is a deterrent. I'm not desperate, just frustrated. do you think that they have matured slowly due to their early living conditions?
