View attachment 1949197 View attachment 1949191 I have my first egg!! Petunia (EE/PR) sang loud and clear and I went to check the nests. She laid it in the coop under the nests.
Now if the 2 polish pullets would start laying. They are 10 days older than Petunia.

Does anyone want to go in on a order of chicks from a hatchery ? There is a charge for a smaller order..

TSC had the chicks.

I know what you mean. I've been wanting to order some also, but don't want too many.

Congratulations! Still waiting for my first ones. Ours just turned 6 months old this week.

Has anyone else had trouble with their chickens eating insulation? Besides the fact that it could not possibly be good for them we are now going into winter without insulation and nothing seems to keep them out of it. Thanks for any advice.

Chicken's have been known to eat anything that they can put into their beak's. You can maybe put a tarp on to help.

Not sure where to order from, Also @Lark60 been out of the loop, TSC?
I have ordered from my pet chicken and McMurray before.. 15 is the minimum limit at McMurray. I would like Salmon Faverolles, dark Brahmas, cream legbars, cuckoo marans. Maybe a few others.. let me think about it..

Is there anything like petroleum jelly or something that they don’t like the feel of? These crazy birds would probably peck at the tarp too

Not sure what type of insulation your chickens are snacking on.
Long ago, my chickens snacked on a large quantity of this pink foam board insulation.

Nothing bad happened to them. It was long ago,,,, so I don't remember if it was going thru them digested, or undigested.
