    What can I do with this?

    Sheet vinyl flooring is also great for the floor. Easy to sweep up.the shavings to clean it out and it's waterproof.

    Mushrooms OK to eat?

    Well I gave them to the chickens and they had zero interest in them and wouldn't eat them. Lol.

    Mushrooms OK to eat?

    Sorry I wasn't more clear but that's all it said on the package. I bought them at costco. There's just too many for my wife to eat before they go bad so I figured I'd give some to the chickens if it was safe. Since they are human food I guess it's OK for them.

    Are Nipple Waterers Worth It?

    It wasn't my idea. I got it from a writeup on here last fall.

    Mushrooms OK to eat?

    I have a bunch of organic white mushrooms and was wondering if they are safe to give to the chickens?

    Are Nipple Waterers Worth It?

    I started out with vertical nipples and it was great until freezing weather hit. I switched to a 3 gallon bucket with horizontal nipples and use an aquarium heater and harbor freight fountain pump hooked up to a thermocube and haven't had any freezing down to 15* F which is as cold as it really...

    Speckled RIR eggs??

    I also have 4 rir hens. 2 lay speckled like you have. 2 lay solid color with 1 being slightly darker then the other. It's funny since they are all sisters hatched together.

    Missing Eggs

    Thanks for the link. All I'd seen locally and on amazon was larger pieces in the 75 -100 range which is out of my budget for a 2 bay nest box. 20 is much more doable.

    Missing Eggs

    This design is exactly what I plan to build. Just wasn't sure where to buy astroturf.

    Pics and build of our family project!!!

    Give it some time. They are still young. It takes a while before they start laying regularly, especially after the stress of a move.

    Missing Eggs

    Just an update. I switched them over to starter feed and have been feeding 3-4 handfuls of meal worms a day. One of my girls is in a molt now so I'm sure this extra protein will help with that too. I toss in oyster shells but they don't seem too interested in them. Do you usually offer them in a...

    Absolutely amazing coop. You guys did a fantastic job! And that's great that they are laying in the nesting boxes already and not a corner somewhere.

    Wont use the roosting bar -- ideas to remake the bar?

    I wouldn't worry about it much. They'll figure it out. My girls didn't start roosting on the roost bar until almost 3 months old. They'd play on it during the day but at night they huddled together in a corner in the floor. Then one night they just switched. As for laying outside the nest box I...

    Missing Eggs

    Thanks for the excellent info. I can get starter crumbles with a 22% protein . Would it be OK to mix a 50/50 of layer and starter and put out oyster shells?

    Missing Eggs

    I feed an organic layer feed with 16% protien. They only get occasional tops of strawberries left over from the kids. Maybe 2x a month. I get organic dried meal worms as winter treats but that is it. Do you think it's a protien or calcium deficit? I've thrown in some crushed oyster shells but...

    Missing Eggs

    Sorry for not updating sooner. Had a very busy day. Left one egg in last night and this morning at 9 it was gone. Not a trace. I reviewed the in coop camera footage. It's kinda crappy since it was in night vision mode but once the girls got up this morning and started moving around they crowded...
