Just a quick question all. We had a bunch of bugs by our door that we had sprayed with some bug spray and they all died. The chickens were out and about today doing their own thing and when we got home we saw they had eaten all the dead bugs. Will it harm the chickens? Will it change the eggs...
Hey all,
Since we are new to having backyard chickens (Rhode Island Reds). How much should we be feeding them each day? We have 29 chickens total now...how much per chicken should we be giving them. Thanks for all your help!
I love the DIY ideas - Thanks so much for all the helpful advice - We just cleaned out the girls' coop today so it would be nice if their water was as clean as their coop!
Thanks for the help. I guess the move was traumatic for them. They seem in really good health and have been eating well and have definitely gotten friendlier with us and a lot less scared. They've actually put on weight . I guess we'll just wait then and be patient with the girls as they adjust...
Hey all,
We have about 24 RI red chickens about 7-8 months old that we bought 3 weeks ago. Right from the start they started messing their waterers. Putting hay and dirt in the water. We raised the waterers off the ground so that's not as much a problem but they have (gasp!) started pooping in...
Hey all,
We just bought 24 chickens about 7 months old (Rhode Island Reds) and it's been 3 weeks and still no eggs. They are being fed well and have gotten bigger since they've arrived but we are wondering why no egg production!?
Thanks, Liz
PS. Any suggestions about how to make them start...
