    learnt a new lesson today ........ my flock loves the rain! does your? POLL

    Mine run for cover, usually under the trailer rain or snow I have to go out and get them in the coop. Sometimes carrying them as they don't want to get wet. So carry like a football bent over. My girls are girly girls. Lol

    Growing fodder for chickens

    I feed my girls as much as they can eat as well as fruits and veggies cut up small for them. They jump when they know I have something for them. I grow fodder of wheat, black oil sunflower seeds, barley they love it. Winter they need these things.

    Chickens who HATE snow?

    My girls don't have snow right now, it is ice. They walk very carefully and fall on their feathers. Poor Gobbles my turkey is just beside himself.

    My New additions have grown

    I don't plan on breeding Toby, if I get chicks it's cause they hid an egg :( . But he and the puppy play on occasion till he doesn't any more. Daisy thinks he is another puppy, go figure. I would be too sad if I had to get rid of Toby, he protects his girls inc the turkey with a vengeance.

    Growing fodder for chickens

    I would say adult, so they can digest properly. I use it only as a supplement. They love it. Had to hand feed at first but no problem now.

    Poor things, I understand. We finially have good weather and I put the girls outside. They are still n the box inside since the coop flooded.

They were just standing there not moving, I had to pick them up and put them in the coop. They were so happy to be warm and dry. I let them out for...

    What age to introduce new chickens to existing flock?

    I have a 10' X 14' coop enclosed, the hen house is inside this for my 3 girls. For heating purposes I have put a tarp over the hen house tied to the coop and heater underneath. The straw I use for insulation as well. My girls do Not like snow. My question is this, I plan on getting 5 to 7 more...

    Growing fodder for chickens

    I did a mix of BOSS with other seeds it turned out well, they ate every bit. The BOSS grows slower so the other seeds were bigger sprouts, it didn't seem to matter.

    Growing fodder for chickens

    I put a thin layer as my tray is not large, I rinse with cold water and set it over the sink to drain for a bit before putting it in the Bottom tray. As I rinse I shake gently to spread them out again after spraying. Knock on wood, I haven't had any mold. Doing BOSS now and already sprouting.
