    Free Ranging in Winter

    We live in Northern Utah and get a fair amount of snow every winter. Since my girls have gotten used to free ranging every day, would it be ok to let them continue when there is snow on the ground? I know they won't really find anything to eat, but just for the exercise and getting out of the...

    Outside entrance to nest box

    While we were building our coop, our girls started nesting where ever they could all over the yard or garden. We found 4 regular nesting places. So when we were finally done and wanted them to use the actual nesting boxes that we so lovingly built for them, we would go around to where they...

    Do you know why there are brown eggs? I do

    When we first got our chicks in March, my mom, who GREW UP ON A FARM, asked how were we going to get any eggs without a rooster. She kept insisting that we had to have a rooster to get any eggs. Needless to say, that's why she's a "city girl" now.

    This is the color of 1/2 price paint

    "My colors are Blush and Bashful" LOL "It looks like they hosed down the sanctuary with Pepto Bismol" Great quotes that seem appropriate now.

    Overheard conversations

    We took our kids to the zoo and the cougars were mating. They could be heard all over the zoo. It was the most popular exhibit that day. We still call it "sex ed at the zoo" day.

    Do chickens hide?

    Oh, thank you all for sharing your experiences with your "hiding" chickens with me. We have already lost two to neighbor dogs, so didn't want to lose another one. So very glad we found her safe and sound. And a special thank you for the spelling correction. I rely too much on spell check but...

    Overheard conversations

    My friend's mother was cutting up chicken for dinner one day and her 3-year-old granddaughter was standing on a chair watching. Finally the little girl says, "Awwww......poor puppy"

    Do chickens hide?

    If I type it again they will call it nonsense again. I will try to type it and get the point across. It was Shizu but with a T in it.

    Do chickens hide?

    Oh my gosh.....I typed a word for the breed of our dog and it was changed to "nonsense" How funny!! Must have been a dirty word.

    Do chickens hide?

    Thank you all!!!! We found her and yes she was broody. We have tons of shrubs so we clipped all of them back and we have pine trees and we checked all of them. We were just about to give up when our little nonsense went behind our wood pile, which we had never seen her do before. We looked...

    Do chickens hide?

    Will they stay there even when feeding treats or when it gets to be dusk? She has not been in the coop for several days now.

    Do chickens hide?

    We have 3 RIRs and to be completely honest, I'm not absolutely sure it was her that layed the egg. I just saw one in our new nest box and thought it was the missing girl.

    Do chickens hide?

    We have 8 hens who free range in our backyard. It's only 1/4 acre property with shrubs along all fence lines and several trees. One of our RIRs disappeared last week for a couple of days. We thought maybe an assault by air had taken place due to the lack of any feathers or other signs of a...

    Free Range but about to laying age, should I keep them in the run?

    Well, we're right there with ya. We have 9 and they have started laying 2 weeks ago. We only got 1 egg a day for the first week and now we're getting 3 eggs a day. Our coop and run aren't finished yet, but we put some old drawers in the coop with some straw and a fake plastic egg in one of...

    Is nothing OK?

    Thank you for your replies. I appreciate your sharing you own methods with me. I know many here on BYC have stated that they use the deep litter method with no bad effects. Thanks again!
