Yeah, tossed them. But wouldn't they still be good, because it's been cold here?

Ha, no, no rooster. That would be gross.... I picked her up and forced to get outside and eat some food. She seemed a bit grumpy at first, but then she just wandered around the run and ate.

Has anyone had this experience before? Kinda freaking me out. We only have 7 hens. Yesterday afternoon I collected 2 eggs from the hens. One Buff Orpington (we have 4 Buffs, 3 Ameraucanas) was laying on the straw "hissing" and getting all mad when I opened up the nesting box door. That same...

Sorry for all the confusion. I'll post a pic if I can later. When I said insulation, I meant what can I put on the sides of the chicken coop in order for the cold area to stop coming it. Yes, some air, but not all the wind and snow. The run is where the chickens go outside and run around...

So I'm trying to prevent the chickens from getting frostbite. It's about 17 degrees here right now, plus 20 MPH wind. The coop has wood covering all of the sides, so the wind can't get in the coop, but I noticed on a few of the chickens, on the tips of their combs, is a bit of black. When...

Guess who got a Christmas present from their chickens?????? I switched the type of feed and put a light in there for them, and yesterday, Christmas Eve, I GOT AN EGG!!!! Today I got another one!!! Big, brown eggs! FINALLY!!

I got 7 chickens, 32 wks old. How many CUPS of food should I feed them in the winter time?

Tell me about the torture! We purchased ours like March 2 from Rural King, hoping that if we purchased them early, they would lay early. Still nothing :/ Ok, I'll look into that type of feed.

Everyone: Thank you for the comments. I understand what you are trying to say now. Makes much more sense! Next time I go to Rural King, I'll make sure to get the correct food, and hopefully soon we'll get an egg!

All right thanks for the info. I'll look into the starter, the light, and the calcium/protein. I'll give them some table scraps/cereal, too. Our old chickens LOVED cherrios.

They do not free range. We have a giant coop for them and they run around in there. Yes, I realized scratch was not sufficient or chickens just last night when I was looking up info about chicken food. I'm so confused about the food. Starter is for chicks, right? But these aren't chicks...

So this is my second time having chickens. A few yrs ago, I had a Barred Rock and 2 Black Sussex. Born in March, laying in August. I fed them chicken scratch when they got older (that stuff with the corn, grain, and other stuff in it....) They laid eggs like crazy. When they got older, I...
