Welcome!

Found out why they didn't lay in the nest. They found a pile of hay and laid there. I now have hem laying inside their coop nest.

Shower real good and apply cortisone cream. My husband is allergic to fire ants, I had him do the above and gave him a Benadryl.

Kepping hens cool.

Does the heat effect the laying? It's been 4 days now my hens hadn't laid anything.

I went to my local animal protection society and they took my 2 roosters. When I got there they already had someone to take me hem.

well I got a big surprise last week, there were 2 eggs in the nest. My scissor beak pullet (copper & black) who I have been hand feeding since last July, (she was starving), finally started laying for the time. My other Easter eager started laying again, had a couple of months completely...

Oh, my pullets will have fun with watermelon this summer. Come on spring.

I need a recommendation of where to order 4 pullets. I live in south AR.

Does one feed their hens layer pellets all the time or does one mix it with layer crumbles & is this the feed for all year round?

Waiting for spring.

I've had good luck with 15% layer crumbles & mix with water & other left over. Now she's learned to eat it piled on the grass. Other pullers wouldn't let hen roam with them, now she does.

I make a thick mush with her feed/ water, spinach, etc. she starts eating out of my spoon then I pile it in the grass and she eats all she wants. She was starving before I realized & started hand feeding her.
