    I find this really interesting. I have a fairly bad reaction to any eggs that from chickens that consume any soy. I’ve been trying to find good research on the gluten concern, in terms of chicken diet. Thanks for sharing this!

    Pecking scabs??

    Not sure why the photo is sideways… I have a guinea who is becoming a bit of a bully. I just noticed these black spots on this guy’s comb this evening, and I’m assuming they are pecking scabs from said guinea, but I wanted to get feedback. Hoping it’s not pox!!!

    Gluten/soy free chicken feed recipe help

    Soy isoflavone (the common soy allergen) comes through in eggs from chickens who have eaten soy. In fact, it can be a concentrated dose, causing a strong reaction in folks like me who are allergic to it. Regular eggs give me a terrible reaction lasting weeks; soy-free eggs, no problem! 😺

    Perfect scoop for Granular Sweet PDZ!

    I picked up a scoop at the pet store yesterday that is absolutely perfect for scooping my poop board (under the roosts) that is lined with granular Sweet PDZ. Thought you guys might like to see! The screen size is just right; it’s made for scooping reptile habitats.

    Comment by 'DaisyFaye7' in article 'Herbs, Flowers, and Weeds for Chickens'

    Nice article!! I have a young flock of speckled Sussex and ayam cemanis, plus a few guineas. I’ve been bringing them herb and flower treats to help them develop a taste for them early. Marigolds are their favorite treat, second only to grubs - I break the flowers up, and the petals are a nice...

    Great book you might like!

    Hello all! I bought this book years ago, when chickens were still a daydream for me. My chicks are about 6 weeks old now, and I just noticed this book on my shelf and sat down with it for a bit. It’s a beautiful book with lots of photos, and lots of recommendations regarding chickens ranging in...

    Time to line the coop - Mulch vs Sand: Need your input!

    I’m up here in the red clay! 😂 But, I think that it should be pretty similar inside the coop, since I have a good roof. Good to hear!!

    Time to line the coop - Mulch vs Sand: Need your input!

    That’s great - sounds like my kind of cleaning!! Do you find that your hens eggs are pretty clean with this method? That was one reason I was initially leaning toward sand - I had heard that the sand would clean their feet as they made their way to the nesting boxes, hence cleaner eggs. But, I’m...

    Time to line the coop - Mulch vs Sand: Need your input!

    Oh, that’s perfect actually, because what I get from our local tree guy is more of a rough mulch - fine stuff all the way up to chunks of small branches. Thanks for the info!!

    Time to line the coop - Mulch vs Sand: Need your input!

    Thank you for taking the time to write all this! I really appreciate the feedback. I think I’m going to go with the wood chips. They’re pretty mixed in size, there‘s some fine stuff all the way up to maybe 2x4” hunks. I’m hoping that will work well. Seem like it would be great for the run...
