    well water

    I would ask your landlord if it has been done. If not, ask him if he can do it. It is around $20-25 for a Coliform/E.coli test. Maybe ask if you can do it and take it off the rent or something. Call your country health dept. to find a lab near you.

    they don't seem to be eating the oyster shells...

    I don't suppliment mine with grit. They free range and I have a big gravel driveway they poke around in all the time. I say if you have gravel around where they free range, they shouldn't need it. Yeah! Baby! Congrats!

That's unfortunate. I heard they had leg mites when the scales looked pushed up underneath... it's not like that...

    ugly legs...

    Do you think they have mites? They've been like this sense I got them and I thought it was normal until I read the other post. If it is mites, I can't catch them so can I do something else to treat it? I heard somewhere to paint diesel fuel on the roost?

    How can I teach hens to go to coop?

    They usually go back in on their own when it starts to get dark.

    Hi! Thanks guys. I like to show off my pets and home... Yeah, were pretty rural here. We live about 10 miles out of the oldest community in Montana. Population, around 2,000. We live on an undeveloped ranch of about 300 acres. It is nice. My dog is wonderful, we got her from the pound in 2002...

    Hi guys, I got a new camera. Thought I would show you all pictures. My hens are very camera shy though! This is the Coop Shed. Half chicken coop half tool shed and feed/bedding storage. It works nice. Inside the coop, I just added two more laying boxes and rearranged though. Dust bathing...

    she is finally laying ..but

    I heard the golf balls worked best to discourage them from pecking at them because when they go to peck their beak kinda bounces off the ball and they don't like it!

    I heard to crack them all over and soak them in cold water for 15-20 min and then peel them under cold running water.
