I may need to get the girls a disco ball. That is a fabulous idea.

Good news! The changes seem to really be helping. The girls' feathers are coming back, they are gaining weight, and the bullies seem to be less attacky. The new waterer and feeder are working out great, they like the new food, and sick chicken now goes by Ellie, as she is no longer sick...

We made some changes today, including another feeder and waterer, more entertainment for the run and new 18% protein feed for chicken. They will get turkey at lunch tomorrow, too. Will send update later in the week.

You guys, we made some changes to the coop and run today, and I appreciate all of your suggestions so much: - added another feeder and waterer so bullied chickens have options - added a pallet to the uncovered run so they have new entertainment - cleaned up the xylophone and put it in new...

Thank you. I bet our local farm store will have the ones with more protein. I will check it out.

That it a good idea. I didn't know we needed more than one. Thanks for the advice.

Egglayers15 crumbles

1 waterer w 3 nipples. made from home depot bucket. We add a second waterer on esp hot days. 1 gravity feeder w two openings where they eat. Oh no. Is that not enough? They've been eating eggmaker15 pellets w oyster shell that we mix in. Also we give fresh vege and fruit snacks at least...

About half my flock are complete jerks-- four of eight are pecking at the others constantly, pulling out feathers, and oinking up all the food. They are all the same breed so it took a while to figure out the culprits until I applied some common sense: the fat chickens with all their feathers...
