Chicken Rules in Question

[Pickensandchigs]

Here's a thread for sharing your experiences with finding that "Internet Chicken Facts" weren't completely right.

For example..

Did your heat light burn out and no chicks died, heck they were thriving?

Did you feed only corn and nothing bad happened?

Did you build a coop of chicken wire and it raised 1000 birds with no awful predator attacks?

Maybe you get the idea of this thread.. If you do, share these experiences and lets keep the discussion alive.

Thanks.

I feed chick crumb to my chicks until the mixed flock feed. I don't use growers feed. Everyone is fine, the weaker chicks thrive, and everyone grows up into healthy hens/roos

Yes. I can never find grower in my area, so I go all the way with the starter.. until they get my whole flock mix.

I can get it here but I only got it once for a lone chick because she was a slow developer. My other chicks didn't get any

I’ve never had issues with that.

Did you feed only corn and nothing? I only feed mine scratch grains occasionally.

Did you build a coop of chicken wire and it raised 1000 birds with no awful predator attacks? I probably could if I wanted to, but I don’t. Mine do what whatever they want, whenever they want.

My run is chicken wire but I've never had a predator attack before *touch wood*

I'm afraid you've missed the objective of this thread..

Not really.

Not really.

It appears you did miss the objective.. Or maybe just doing a little early morning bullying, I guess it could be.
