Hi Alabama, thank you. I am enjoying all the chicken talk. Would love to hear how chicken people in the south manage chickens in hotter weather. It is quite hot here now. I give them plenty of water during the day, and watermelon or tomatoes when I get home in the afternoon, but still worry...
Thanks Kansas, appreciate the comments. I am so enjoying talking to other chicken people about chickens, I think my family was getting a little tired of me. :)
Glad to find a good site. I'm learning as I go, having had 4 chickens for 8 months. I know someone who feeds her chickens their old eggshells. This doesn't sound good practice to me, any thoughts on this?
