To clarify, from what I got from the post, op isn't complaining about low production, they are simply stating that they don't mind if production is lower than it would be otherwise (although the point about diet not affecting production as long as its sufficient still stands)
@Perris might have...
I have 2 cats and feed several stray and ferals, all are hunters and all are afraid of the birds.
You will need to keep young chicks away (especially bantams) but few cats will mess with an adult bird, especially if said birds have grown up around cats and aren't afraid of them. Just keep the...
I found a recipe for a dish I never tried but have heard of before and I have the ingredients for - Welsh rarebit. For those unaware, Welsh rarebit is toast with a cheese sauce on it. It's usually made with beer but I found one without. Despite the name there is no rabbit in it
Also glad for...
Dude, you severely overreacted to a non issue, he tried reaching out and you wouldn't say what was wrong and now you're butthurt. What do you want? We can't read your mind and you were in the wrong with how you reacted. I don't even know....
I'm more advocating for a break rather than permanent abstinence. Sure, knowing what is going on to a certain degree is important but taking a break is important too especially if it's negatively affecting your mental health
Well said! My thoughts exactly! We should do what we can but making...
A small challenge with no particular time frame, start whenever you want, repeat it whenever you want and if you fall off, just dust yourself off and pick it back up again
The challenge is to go 10 days without checking the news (weather forecast is allowed). Watching the news too much is bad...
Olive eggers are easter eggers, they are just easter eggers that lay olive green eggs. In any case he's an easter egger as he's a mutt with the blue egg gene and his daughters should lay colored eggs of some sort
I don't think most people care all that much. They have bigger things to worry about than whether you're wearing makeup or not. I haven't gotten a single comment about not wearing makeup either even when I was in high school. More women need to realize that most people just don't notice or care...
I was a tomboy growing up (and still am) and you couldn't pay me to give a hoot about makeup. As an adult, you couldn't pay me to care and I see no reason to waste 30 minutes of my time in the morning that I could spend sitting and drinking coffee at work (or doing literally anything else) on...
A third hen is now laying! :D
Who it is I have no idea but I do know Vanilla is laying and I'm pretty sure Lavender is laying but I could be mistaken. I'm going off egg color which when nearly everyone lays some shade of blue or green is a tricky thing lol. I just know it's not Juniper as none...
Just to be sure, how big is it? For 6 birds you want at least 24sqft of coop space and 60sqft of run space although some birds do need more room than usual
Scratch is a treat rather than a complete feed, too much can cause obesity and nutritional imbalances. If you do feed scratch it needs to be less than 10% of their diet (along with whatever other treats they get) but they can also live without it just fine
