Thanks for the interesting info regarding "old fashioned feeds" that don't include corn. I am considering making my own because even the no corn no soy feeds contain fish. I believe most of our fish are contaminated. I happen to enjoy fallout from fukashima.

Thanks so much for the reply and extra info!

My Chicken is having her first molt and has lost about 1/3 of her feathers. Is it the molt? Is it the other chickens? Is it a health problem? Chicken is acting normal otherwise. I did notice a bit of picking by the chicken on the roost next to her. The top of her legs are bare. I can see the...

I am in NW Oregon and I am looking for recommendations on Union Mills because the guy I have been buying my feed from is not ordering Chicken feed anymore (Heinold which I think is from the mid west). I don't want organic if I can get a good quality local feed. I have a small feed store near my...

You reply makes sense. I have kept them locked up for now. the hunters are out and I hope that changes bobcat's routine.

Thanks for the info and support! I tried to rest on the couch this pm with a window cracked so I could hear more. When it was almost dark, I looked out the window and saw a hen heading to the coop. I dashed out to find everyone in except rooster ("W") and one hen. there is one hen that hangs...

Regarding their ability to get high in the coop: They are getting to cross beam near ceiling in coop but they have several ways to hop and flap from one level to the next to get there. Each level is about 2-3 feet from the other. I guess my post is general for both of you. Thanks for the...

I have barred rocks and they are about 14 weeks old. I will check the amount removed and check that link thanks. Maybe I might trim both. Thanks for the quick reply. Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you and thank you for your time and info.

I trimmed one wing of each chicken and it seems like they can still get to elevated areas in the coop. Did I trim them enough? how much will they fly if properly trimmed? I just did not want to make them bleed. I have heard that can be deadly.

Has anyone used something called Electro Net (I think I have the name correct)? Basically it is electrified chicken fencing. It is hooked together like field fencing but closer together for chickens and it has electricity flowing through all the horizontal wires which are close together. I comes...

Hi I am new. My chicks are about 16 weeks. The last time I had chickens I did not worm. Was I lucky? How often do they need to be wormed? Do they need it regularly like a dog or a cat or do they just need worming when they are showing signs of worms?
