    Pine Shavings for Bedding

    My chickens are just over a year old. Their reaction to not wanting to be in the coop while it was dark out made me think something was really wrong with the shavings. I’m so glad others use it with no issues. Thank you!

    Pine Shavings for Bedding

    Thanks! Hopefully that’s what it is. Of course I looked information up and saw that some people say the dust from pine is harmful to their respiratory system but was unsure if they meant all pine or just pine that is chemically treated which would make sense.

    Pine Shavings for Bedding

    Hello all, sorry if this has been asked before I am not very familiar with the website. I am hoping someone can confirm that the pine shavings from Tractor Supply are safe for chickens in an enclosed coop at night? I just replaced their old straw bedding with this pine shaving and they seemed...

    Chicken Pecking

    I have 11 but they have a decent size coop/run. They always have plenty of food, water, treats, pecking blocks, toys, dirt bath areas and perches etc. It’s possible that they are still getting bored.

    Chicken Pecking

    I don’t believe I have any roosters. The only one I had I got rid of. I think the hen saddle is a great idea. The downfall is finding one quickly in a small town 😕. Thank you for this idea!

    Chicken Pecking

    Thank you!! Do you know if this will discourage the hens pecking as well? Or is it mostly to treat the wounds?

    Cozy Coop Heater

    Tough love is a great way to explain it! I worried about my poor girls but I’m starting to feel better with everyone saying that they are fine in the cold. Their coop is pretty well built so I’m not worried about any drafts so that’s good. They experienced their first foot of snow last week and...

    Cozy Coop Heater

    Thank you ! I’m glad to know that they are a lot better off in the cold than I think. This heater was good for about 4 days then it completely just lost power and would not heat up anymore so they sent me another one and I’m worried that it may just break again. But now I’m not as worried...
