My lil hen has 4 lil chicks. They are doing well but the new mom still has not been laying. Bout how long is it until she starts laying again? I don't know if is should be worried or be doing something for her. Please help!!
I cant wait till my gson is intrested in watching some of the cute cartoons on sat. mornings.
On another note, my beloved gson has said his first "word" (other than mama and dada) it is CHICKEN!!!! It is the funniest thing, he is running around hollaring for the ickens..just thought I would...
wow you had a lot of animals....my beloved wants me to sell eggs and/or babies. Not sure i could sell them once i get attached to them. I have a tendiousy of over worring a situation. we are adding a "play pin' to our temp coop tomorrow for our new mommy and her 4 babies to be able to explore...
I asked the co-op about the "fodder" they didnt know what it was, i am going to try to look it up later tonight. we have several types of beans started, lettuce, beets and spinach...hoping it goes well.
wow what a horrible experience, I am glad that didnt happen., It is harder to loose them when we started it with our daughter for her FFA project and with such a small amount. I am sure if she saw that she would never wanted chickens again. we only have a handfull, but are hoping to grow with...
we can tell, we would rather have backyard chickens but are still in the process of what actually works best. we have had our set now for awhile and are loving it, and of course we have the 4 new lil chicks, we are going to try to get their "play pin" done this weekend. that way they can get out...
we had to put the first set down. they had one of the top five and we were unable to keep them as pets or for my daughter SAE/CDE so we started over. I didnt know that about the water and the feed, i add water to our chickens feed almost everyday....i sure am glad you said something, I am on my...
wow really, we thought they would get to fighting and we wouldnt be able to keep them seperate....so we have been getting rid of them as soon as they crow. I cried when we took Simon back. I was so happy when she gave him back to me!! and I just LOVE watching him
i see it, thank you...I will have to read up on that. It seems as though some are open sided coops/runs. and some are like a shed with a "run" with a fence. I will be reading over it for a while, but I am sure that I will be able to find some wonderful ideas of how to do ours. cause my beloved...
oh my goodness, I didnt even think of that...we was going to put in a gutter to help send water to the rain barrel, I wonder if there is a way to keep that from being a problem? Maybe I shoul,d take a trip to our extension office and ask what kind of birds we have that could be an issue. they...
i see, this looks alot like my beloved lil Simon...although I have my rose colored glasses and I have to say that Simon is better looking. Thanks so much for the link very very informative!!
I am on my way to Elbera Co-op today to get some seeds to sprout...I am looking for different ideas on how to do it and how to incorperate it into the coop/run.
your barn is AMAZING!!! I LOVE it!! and I love the pipe feeders. we have been trying to figure out how we want to set ours up still. I am sure we will try many different things and then settle with one. I know someone who has the rubber mats in their old barn and if it was good for keeping...
