    Integrated chicks, feeding, and currents laying hens

    I actually have that same bottle in my cupboard. How do you give it to the specific chickens? I know that the one who had had soft shells twice now is more prone to it. I have hard shells from everyone consistently except for this first molt where the other hen also has done it. Thanks for your...

    Integrated chicks, feeding, and currents laying hens

    Thanks! Yes, I think it was close to molt because one of the two is really going. I have plenty of calcium out so hopefully that helps as both oystershell and egg shells. I had not thought about crushing the oyster shell some so I'll do that. Had been wondering about the size, so thanks for...

    Partridge hen... what breed?

    She is molting and the poor flock lived through an attack over the weekend. So the feather damage doesn't help... Her feet are yellow with a black tinge to them.

    Partridge hen... what breed?

    Hello! We just got our first chickens. My sister-in-law and her family are moving next week and since we were planning on starting a flock this year we adopted some of their's.

    Hello from the Casper household!

    Thanks! I have a shed that I will be converting into a coop. I won't be able to do the construction until spring though. In the meantime I am solidifying plans on how best to do it.
