I just purchased the Chicken Guard on Amazon (it was 20 percent off on Prime Day). It already came this morning and I am excited to set it up. I will update you on it. What made me change my mind about the three-year warranty it comes with. I would get the Ador1 but I haven't seen enough reviews...
Hear me out... I have never had an auto door before but this is what I have heard from videos, reviews, and other fourms. I am still in the process of buying a door and I am so confused as to which one is best. So far I narrowed down my options to two doors. PLEASE tell me if you have had any of...
I am finally going to buy sand for my chicken run, though I don't know what type to get. I only have two types available near me. Play sand and All-purpose sand. We do have traction sand but it says it is not kiln dry and they recommended not to use in with chickens...
I put mulch on my run floor. After 3 months of it on the run floor, I scoop it with the shovel, put it in the wheel barrel, then lay it all on a fresh floor of grass away from the run. I then get the hose and act as the rain to wash all the poop off. It is work, but I think the mulch looks...

My Rhode Island Red just laid her first egg yesterday. The one that laid was 20 weeks old. Though the rest of my RID's are the same age they haven't laid yet. Some develop their combs faster than others.
hey guys,
Yesterday I found one of my 19 week Rhode island reds in the nesting box for the first time. She looked like she was trying the nest out and was panting, which looked like she was trying to lay an egg. After about 30 minutes she left the nesting box with no egg. Maybe she gave up. She...
