    Hens eating whole acorns??

    They are eating the small live oak acorns, and I'm glad to hear its okay she is only able to get them while she free ranges and I gave them some more grit just to make sure she isn't eating them for the grit.

    Hens eating whole acorns??

    I was outside feeding my girls this morning and noticed one of them was eating un-opened acorns. Is this bad for them? I've seen posts talking about breaking acorns open for them but I've never seen or heard of them eating them whole. Thanks in advance.

    De-worming laying hens

    I just finished administering it by mixing it into their water (after making it the only water source). So does that mean it needs to be re-administered?

    De-worming laying hens

    I've had hens for 3 years and this is the first time I've ever seen a worm in their poop. I'm picking up Safeguard Goat De-Wormer tomorrow morning and I will give it to all my girls. I was wondering if anyone knows the dosages for chickens? I have 6 adult hens, 5 hens almost old enough to lay...

    Broiler Chicken Help!

    Okay, I can do that. Right now they are in a cage in the main run so that they can do just that and I can easily make a second level for the rest to have food. She can barely make it 6 inches right now so that shouldn't be a problem.

    Broiler Chicken Help!

    I have noticed that after walking around for a while she starts panting so I usually bring the water dish to her. It's gotten to the point that if she sees me she walks over and starts nudging me with her break to let me know she is thirsty. She is such a sweetheart, I want to do the best I can...

    Broiler Chicken Help!

    Thank you for the response. I will start building ramps for her so she can move around better, I already had one for the brooder but I'll make some more for the stairs in the back yard. Is there any special diet she needs? Thank you again for the help

    Broiler Chicken Help!

    I was given a bunch of chicks a few weeks ago, one of which I was told was a leghorn. She has grown incredibly quickly though, and is now bigger in girth than my laying hens. I will not cull any of my hens becuase I treat them as pets. What can I do to help her? Can she be a healthy layer? She...

    How to keep them warm

    I know, that's what I thought. Tonight is supposed to be 70 for the low so they shouldn't be too cold. So far only 1 chicken made an attempt to peck at them and that was when 4 of the 6 tried to run to her. They have their own food and water inside of the shelter right now. Im going to try to...

    How to keep them warm

    Yes but they are a year old. The coop is very predator proof but last year when the older flock was just a month old a rat snake killed one so I am a bit paranoid. I cant have a heat light as there is no electricity but I do have them all in a little hut I made from two boxes. They can go in...
