My chickens are 8 months old and have never had grit. Their outside pen is all dirt. They go out everyday unless it's below -20 degrees Celsius. Do I need to give them extra grit? Out of 7 chickens we get 5-7 eggs per day. Unfortunately they recently have taken to picking on one chicken so I...

7/7 Eggs for the last week. My girls are officially 6 months old now! Great producers! Tasty eggs! Today will tell though, temperature dropped near -20 Celsius for first time in awhile last night. Fingers crossed.

6/7 yesterday. Still to cold to let them outside. They have a heat lamp on 24/7 and a heater when it's really cold. Been as low as -35 C earlier this week. My girls started laying eggs at 4 months old! Not sure who is doing what. One day we got all 7.

5/7 yesterday. It snowed a lot. Not sure if the girls got outside or not but I think so. My son likes to take care of them when he's home from school on the weekends. Hopefully we'll soon get a consistent 7/7. They are only just over 5 months old so I really shouldn't complain.

Mine laid 6/7. My son brought them in so I'm not sure what colours we got. I have 3 Thode Island Reds and 4 Columbian Rocks. Had another Red but she ended up a he and had to go live somewhere else. my kids weren't happy about him leaving.

5 eggs from 7 hens. It's -15 degrees Celsius here in the daytime, almost -30 last night. One of my eggs was bigger than an XL store bought egg! Last one we had like that had a triple yolk!

Our feed store sold us grower feed for our 2 month old Rhode Island reds and Columbian Rocks, is it the right food for their age?

We haven't let them out yet they are a week old today. I'm not home but my daughter thinks one chick is limping. I told her there wasn't anything we could do, just wait and see. She's not happy with my answer.

How old should my chicks be before we let them out to roam around on the fenced in ground?

I live about 2 1/2 hours north of Toronto, Canada. 10 minutes north of Huntsville!

Hi I'm new. My family just got 4 Rhode Island Red and 4 Columbian Rock day old chicks on August 5/15. We live in Novar Ontario. Looking for any and all advice for raising chicks in the north. We got them for our kids and for fresh eggs.
