    Sponsored Post Nestera Coop Giveaway! Total worth $1595

    Ease of cleaning .... as I would be winning it for my daughter so the grandkids could have chickens. 10 year old granddaughter loves taking care of the chickens when she's here. The grandson is soon to be 2 and he enjoys watching them.

    Ease of cleaning, 25 year warranty AND red mite resistance? Sounds like a great coop to give the daughter so she'll finally get chickens for the grandkids.

    Call white/Silkie Cross Sex link?

    First I wanna apologize for the necropost, but we've got a black Silkie roo with blue "pants" and Cali white hens, the girls have been laying for a few months now and we have started getting fertilized eggs. (YAY!) So I have a couple inquiries, first one is how likely are Cali whites to go...

    How many hours spent with your chickens?

    My carpet is old and will be replaced in time, but for the duration of raising the chicks many paper towels and disinfecting wipes were sacrificed to the cause. As well as a few strategically placed puppy training pads in what seemed to be their favorite poo spots. We also used puppy pads in the...

    How many hours spent with your chickens?

    I'm so glad those days are over, brooding hatchling chickens (2 day old Cali Whites) in my living room is one of those things I'll never do again, it was worse than a dog or a child or well, anything really. Stop trying to eat that string from the carpet, drop that, it's a piece of paper not...

    How many hours spent with your chickens?

    Probably too many to be honest, our girls might be a little spoiled. We sit out on the porch or in the yard with them every day weather permitting for the better part of the entire day. But we also got them as hatchlings and they're only coming up on 8 weeks old and we don't have a fully...

    Cal

    Guess I'll be waiting to see how their combs develop, their feathers seem to be in constant motion, between stretching wings and legs, and puffing them out. They're so busy, I'd never be able to determine if their tail feathers point up and out or towards the ground 🤣 they seem to hold them up...

    Figured I'd drop some pictures to go along with the novel I wrote in case somebody else happens upon our conversation. didn't realize I could add pictures. Pic of the aforementioned plastic pallet "milk crate" coop with some extra preparations I made for the high winds, rain and cold nights we...

    Oooooh, what are tell tale signs you have a Cali White Roo vs a Hen? The wife is leaning towards a few of our girls actually being boys, but I'm not convinced. The whole order was supposed to be females, but as I've learned, sexing chicks is maybe not so much of a science and even full grown...

    Oh also, we have a small bin that we mix about a scoop of cracked corn and layer pellets in as needed to help keep them warm as well as cracked corn will help raise their body temp. And we'll also pull a couple handfuls of grasses from the yard and toss on the porch for them. Basically just give...

    We're first timers as well, our girls are a little older at six weeks. The wife asked a vet in another chicken group or page that she's on who's based in NC with like 25 years of experience with chickens and birds and she said at least 70% feathered and above 40. Anything below 40 with a heater...

    Is "tree of heaven" OK for chickens to eat?

    I actually have family back in PA with a deer farm and a cousin that had a pet deer so this seemed like a natural solution to me 🤣 Besides, venison is probably much tastier than dog.

    Is "tree of heaven" OK for chickens to eat?

    Fair point. The deer do have a tendency to wander ever close into people territory. People could just plant a couple corn stalks or an apple tree in their yard and adopt a deer or two 🤣

    Yeah I thought it was Philly or Pitt area, wasn't sure which.

    Is "tree of heaven" OK for chickens to eat?

    Yeah, you're probably right, they would have to be groomed and bred for nearly a decade with a hunger for a specific bug. They're simply not picky enough eaters 🤣 but if they find them tasty it sure couldn't hurt. Hogs and deer should be relatively easy, more hunters. Higher bag limits when...

    Is "tree of heaven" OK for chickens to eat?

    Lol, like most ornamentals brought over from Asia. Bamboo and Kudzu, for instance lol

    Intro and thanks for the add.

    They're beautiful. Here's most of our Cali White hen chicks on a free roam excursion of the living room. Still a little too cold and they're a bit too young to be outside yet. And a picture of our boys, 2 black Silkie Roos in one of the temporary "milk crates" I made them with industrial...

    Sounds about right. I ended up taking a job up in PA back in 2018 that had me away from home during the warmer months, paid well, but it got to be too much being away from home and the family for months at a time. Initially my Stepbrother moved down here I wanna say 15ish years ago, my parents...

    Nice what part of PA are you from? I'm originally from NEPA, a small town called Berwick.

    Is "tree of heaven" OK for chickens to eat?

    I agree, but I think that's how some states ended up with wild hog problems as well. The only reason we were killing the trees was to limit the spread of the Spotted LanternFly. I wonder if chickens could or would eat the LanternFly. I think they'd have a rough time surviving the winters in the...
