    Hemp bedding

    Our silly girl eat mulch too sometimes. If you have normal chickens you probably won't have an issue I would not start.chicks.on it until they were a bit older and can tell the difference between bedding and food!

    Hemp bedding

    I didn't mist it as I used it in the run to start and figured it got misted nby nature!! I ended up not using it after the first bag because I have one chicken that is not the smartest and she likes to eat it! She was acting like it was her feed. Otherwise I loved it. We are using pine mulch in...

    GLuten free feed??????

    I just talked to a girlfriend who is a dr. And she said she can't eat any eggs at all due to gluten issues so I told her I would put them on the wheat free for her sake. Doesn't matter to me and if she can finally earners I am happy to do it. It's only a few dollars more a month for the feed...

    GLuten free feed??????

    I looked at the New Organics feed and it looks great. I don't think I will go gluten free but put the chicks on the regular organic layer feed and may ferment it as well. It is nice to know it is available if someone wanted it.

    Help! New chicken mommy with restless chicks!

    We ordered the Urban coop because it is made in America and really sturdy. Hubby put it together. It's wonderful as its really well made but too small. But we may be able to find someone who wants a prebuilt one of these. It was not cheap so we will probably try and do that. Thanks!!!

    Help! New chicken mommy with restless chicks!

    They are off heat. And I am their momma. I am a bit worried because we bought the Urban Coop Company starter coop and it is pretty exposed unless we put the sides up except for the part where they can go to lay eggs. I want them to feel comfortable. May be selling it and getting a bigger...
