"Louisiana "La-yers" Peeps"

This morning our broody has her first 2 babies hatched out and getting dry. She only has a few eggs and its her first time. So far so good crossing my fingers and praying it continues to go well ! We found this egg yesterday from one of our egg artists. This one is sort of creepy looking considering the hen that laid this is one of the ones being given wormer

Wow! I thought I had had some weird eggs lately, but you've got me beat.

You should only give grit after they are like about 10 weeks old or until you put them on solids ,( if you put them on solids), water dissolves starter food by design so they do not need grit. I have an article on my laptop that I will post when I get on it later that explains the why, what's and where about grit, oyster shell and calcium supplements.

I had one of the popular chicken "bloggers" tell me that even if I give my young chicks scrambled eggs that I should give them grit

. I seriously think that if you ask 100 people about this, you will get 100 different answers. These new babies I have are basically getting grit from day one because they are being raised by a broody hen.

Downright creepy since I had just wormed them a week before and that part on the end looks.........well, so worm like

Okay, so life has had me extremely busy, SO HEY GUYS!!!   Miss me?  LOL

So, my new Orpington went broody, on the layers favorite hidden laying spot... so now only getting one egg a day!  So, I moved her, and still only 3!  I am at my wits end, was getting 12-16 ,per day before she went broody, and the spot is open now, so WTH?????

Of course we miss you, silly. My egg production is down, a lot some days and down at least some everyday. I figured it was the heat. Also, they switched laying nests again. They are back in the little laying house. There are three places they lay. Sometimes they only lay in one area for a while and sometimes all three at once. Just never know with those girls. Lol

Auto waterers are done for the chickens, rabbitry and gardens! Just turn a valve for the wanted fill/water and tada! No more dragging hoses or waterers or even setting up a sprinkler

Thats because water does not desolve scrambled eggs, and yes, if yours are free to run on the ground with a broody, they will pick up enough grit for digestion of most things they eat. Alot of people dig a chunk of sod with grass and roots and place that in their coops so young chicks can get grit and nutrients otherwise not provded by a milled feed
