OK Warm foot baths! I'll keep an eye out for icy feet. Maybe we can all take a warm foot bath together!!!! On another subject - GMO. If the corn or wheat that the chickens eat is a GMO product won't the eggs be a GMO as well? We probably eat 90% organic. And stay away from anything I can...

I didn't realize that my little cochin may not dry easily because of her dense feathers and feathered feet. What should I do to make the winter easier on her??? Straw/hay on the ground of the pen and parts of the recreation area. I have a protective pen around the coop and also an extended...

OK I think I got how to do it. This is for you.

I hope you know I was writing with humor, if you're referring to my reply. If I knew how to make those jumping smiley faces, I would have added one or two. I truly enjoy all that I learn from this site and your reply, I thought was great. I'm trying to put together a winter formula that one of...

Gifa, How funny! Slick vs un-slick. I spent many years in the medical field and never came upon the definition of a "slick ovary". Wow! I learn something every day on this site. I feel my hens have led me onto a new and enlightened path. Thank you. Steena

OK I'm not going to put in any kind of heat be it light bulb or "hot tub"! The coop is surrounded by a wonderful pen which has solar plexi and it's vented at the top. It's a nice set-up. They will not be bothered by wind and I'll be sure they get a good diet. I bought some seed mix, yesterday...

Hi, I'm new to raising chickens and I only have three very "spoiled" hens, but I learn a lot from all of you who are so kind to give advice and support. I bought an extension with a caged light bulb on one end so that the girls would have some source of heat in winter. Here in NYS it get...
