This will be my first winter with my chickens. Can anyone advise me on heating my coop or not? I live in Hickory NC

Thanks! I will start giving them the oyster shells.

Good morning! - Need some help/advise! Background: My hens are about 22 weeks old. I have 4 hens and one rooster (all Easter eggers). I have been feeding them layer crumbles for several weeks now. They have a sand floor in the run so they get plenty of grit in their diet. The coop has...

We have wild geese that walk all around our property. Any way to keep them from wondering around and pooping everywhere?

Good morning all! Does having sand in the run add flea problems? Just heard one of my "hens" crow. Guess my "Girls Club" sign will have to be amended. Thinking of adding a sign under "Girls Club" - "Rooster Protected"

What a blessing! God works in mysterious ways.

I am sooo anxious for my girls to start laying. They are about 11 weeks old so I think I have at least another month.

Morning! Saw a beautiful rainbow this morning here in Lenoir, NC. Felt like God was saying "good morning" Still can't get over how the "girls" call it a day at around 7pm. Still light outside, but I guess they need a lot of sleep. They've been roosting on only one of the bars. If that...

Had a busy day today - but sooo satisfying. What a beautiful day! Tilled the garden, put more mulch down. My little GD (think that's right for granddaughter) played in her small pool today. She liked "skinny dipping" better Although I lost my "scissor" beak chick, I was given and extra so I...

Sooo sad today! My little "scissor beak"chick died last night. She was a lot smaller that the other 6 girls. She seemed tobe doing well and never bothered the other girls. When I came home from work I checked and counted the girls. The little one was missing. When I opened the coop,she was...
