I have two cages that are 3ft. squared. Thats what Tom was cleaning. We are thinking about taking 2 sides off and turn it into one long cage. so 3x3x6ft. Put it in the barn and put the tolbunt in with the hen and maybe another polish. Sounds like it would be a nice cage but I just dont know. I would love a winter without cages. These hens are not even laying. Matter of fact I havent had any polish eggs in a while. 2 eggs today. whippie

Granny, will there be enough light in the barn for egg layers?

uummm, ??? heat light ? I guess I would need to put one on a timer. There are plenty lights in there but one turns them all on.

was just thinking about the hen that died. She was acting shy? yesterday and I was holding her, checking her out. No mites, clear eyes, all seemed good. She was a little light. I gave her to CB and told him to put her in a cage and give her some wet mash thinking maybe she is getting pushed away from the food . When he took her from me I remembered there being more feathers in my lap then I thought normal. She ate very well so I told CB we would just take her out and feed her every day . When I went to gather eggs (where she died) there were many, many feathers.
So I wonder, Is that a clue to her death ?

That's weird..... I have no idea what can cause that. Tomorrow I might be a little sharper in my search.... Feathers equal protein... They eat plenty of protein...

My mind keeps going back to that pumpkin . Remember I found my candy corn little dead right on top of it ? Do people spray pumpkins with poisons?
