Great ideas I use frozen water bottles and make sure I cover in plastic so not to contaminate my stuff in freezer. Also chop up veggies tomatoes grapes lettuce blueberries etc and freeze in a plastic bag. Pour some in a bowl add some ice they love it. Also cut up watermelon and freeze. Going to...
Last night went to put the babies up and I find 6 of the eight still outside the coop in the run area. The 2 that rooste on perch were inside the rest on the roof or the other perch I have in the run. I had to pick each one up and put in the coop. They were literally like zombie chickens. The...
Ok so would you be able to find organic feed seed? I really don't want to use gmo nasty critter if you ask me. I am trying to go organic with it. Go figure my diet is off the wall but my babies get the best. I have a feed store that sells very cheap but she doesn't know if it has gmo. And I...
I just got into this from seeing a video on Internet. My question, is non gmo barley sprouting seed ok for my babies? I just read it must be feed seed. I have just ordered 25 pounds from Handy
Pantry on line. Also can you feed wheatgrass?

Hello everyone. Have read a lot of articles on heat. But just wanted to ask about the panting. We have been very humid and only in the 80's lately and the hens are panting and have their wings a little out from body. Everything I read states panting is a cause for concern. Our temps in summer...
Great thread. Missy my pitbull loves them. But my Frenchie. All she wants to do is chase them I am definitely working on her as my chicks free range and she has to stay in the house while they are out plus she is a baby herself
I asked the same question where I got my babie from and she said don't feed but if they eat some of it it should not hurt them. I asked about the wild bird seed I feed
I have 11 week old babies. I bought a flock block and have read different ages it can be given. Would it be ok a 11 weeks? They are pretty much free range about 8 to 10 hrs a day. Thank you in advance for any info

I guess It will be a waiting game. Did found out the feed store has places that will take him. But already attached. So will probably stay. Thanks everyone
When I purchased my babies I told them I wanted all hens. Well I realize at one week this is difficult. Now they are 10 weeks and I think I may have the rooster. I got 4 different breeds. Marans, Speckled Sussex, Welsummer and Wyandottes. It it the speckled I am concerned with. My question is...
Hello everyone. My name is Teresa Just got my ladies 9 weeks ago. And I am hooked. I have 8 ladies well a possible boy :/. I have read so many articles on how you find which sex I am throughly confused now. Am in the beautiful foothills of CA in a town called Copperopolis. We built them a...
Well I am glad I found that mine are not the only ones. Sounds like they all try to get the closest to the door. They love the roosters during the day but beddie time all of them are scrambling on top of each other. They are 10 weeks. So I will not worry about this. Thanks everyone for the...
