    Is it safe to use lime in the chicken coop?

    Ok. If I buy a lime that is used in horse stalls as a refresher it's also good to spread in my coop and run?

    Can the hens eggs be consumed when medicating them with Doxycycline 20%?

    Thank you Mary for the info. I don't want them to develop resistance to antibiotics. The eggs will be disposed! It's a damn shame though. They have been slow in laying eggs and just now they started again. I will also check FARAD.org since I will also need to know for how long should I...

    After reading this entry again, I noticed In the first sentence of the paragraph is being stated that "a hen half maran and half EE... ", the hen is PURE maran not mixed. Do the outcome of the eggs color is still the same? In the chicks?

    Why yellow feathered chicks?

    So basically only my three black chicks, out of the 9 brown eggs I was hatching, will provide the chocolate brown eggs, and the yellow chicks will lay blue eggs?

    Why yellow feathered chicks?

    Hi! I checked the internet. I now know what the Wheaten Marans look like! NOT dark black feathers for sure. Not like mine! So the question still remains. Are these yellow chicks because of the two Roos?or because they are from the Wheaton Marans gene? Will their eggs be like EE or dark...
