    Mixed Flock - What to Feed

    What happens if you have all the laying hens in the mix and 2 roosters? Does that mean that you would feed All Flock and not Layers b/c of the boys?

    Layer feed??!! Mixed age flock.

    Can I jump in here with another question - what is the type of feeding bin that people prefer? I cannot land on anything that seems to really work and stick.

    Favorite All Flock feed?

    I am not sure this is the right forum to post to but I have a question - my flock just transitioned to all flock crumbles from chick starter as we had a little one in the mix for a bit. Now NO ONE is eating the all flock crumbles, they look at it like it has poison in it! I splurged and got the...

    The Broody Jail

    Thank you! I added another layer under her feet and left her in 3 days/nights. She was cured! Now I have 2 new ones in there together, is that OK? They have been broody together for over a week in the coop.

    The Broody Jail

    It is just slats but she has the piece of wood that she primarily stands on. I could add another layer of metal grid if needed? She seems to maneuver OK. Making sure she has water and food at all times. She slept out there last night, it is safe for her to do that here. We are going to do...

    The Broody Jail

    Hi All, Here is our setup for Broody Jail. She has been broody for over a month and I was so busy with other stuff I just let her do it but now really need/want her to come back to the other side. Does this look OK?

    Here is our update: Mom & chick are doing good, although mom still sits alot as if there is an egg she is sitting on. Is that normal? The two of them go out for a quick snack and drink and then typically go back to their box to sit/sleep. They are in their own enclosure still but Rooster dad...

    Thanks for everyone's support. Mama & chick are doing great, they are in their own space and seemingly very good. There is still an egg from 4/22 under the other broody, I let her keep it versus give back to mom #1. Not sure how that one will go but the first one is good and things seem...

    Thanks! Any advice on my recent post I just wrote would be hugely helpful. And thanks for all the other advice. Just found another post that says 48 hours of sitting after hatching is normal. So I am trying to just let this all be!

    Thanks! Trying not to be overly obsessive here but a few questions for a first timer to this 1. Is it normal for the mom to still be sitting as if she is sitting on an egg still? She really hasn't gotten up much to move around. I put the food near her so she can eat but even when I don't she...

    one is bantam, she's the current mom, and then there's a younger bigger hen, a black sex link i think is her breed. the bantam gets a little bullied when she is just in the regular mix of things but i think has established herself now and is older than the others

    Ok, having Mama #2, once the chick is hatched, would she also go in our baby enclosure area, and the two moms would be together in there with their 2 babies? We have 9 other hens and 1 rooster that's what our set up is.
