Today ag agway I noticed there was a poulin grain co layer feed, an agway brand 16% layer feed and an agway brand 21% layer feed just in the vacinity my eyes could see and so it got me wondering, how many feeds are there for laying pellets and which is the best like protein percentage wise?
Today at christmas I was told by my father that it may now be illegal bc there was talk of owning hens in concord new hampshire being made illegal. It was supposed to have been being voted on. Can someone please inform me on this? And how the law reads?
Yes im actually thinking of converting the old hay shed into the duck house but I will probably have to wait til spring to do it bc it has a flat roof and flat roofs and snow don't go to well outside in nh. And btw I got an egg today first ever from my favorite hen!
i checked for lice and mites and i couldnt find any visual signs of it. the books i got my info from said two to three sq ft per bird and they are from 2010. if you google it some information web pages also say 2-3, but some say for 4 sq ft. the ducks and chickens were all raised together and...
They are lebhorn hybrids, and leghorn bantam nybrids. As of ten or so days ago tney have light all night. And as of a week ago they have layer pellets and water constantly available to them
