NY chicken lover!!!!

[Chicken girl 15]

Huge hot day hit for the flock? Black raspberry ice pops. Homemade of course. My bushes produced loads of berries. So after making jelly I froze a ton in ice trays. Happy girls they are.

The girls have access to oyster shell 24/7 so I think she just needs to eat it and wait for her system to correct. She's still young.

I toss some into the feed on occasion. I don't trust those girls.

I tell them to stay out of the woods and the minute my back is turned they're gone.

I've seen some who are very good at giving the evil eye.

Well I'm down seven. Five C. Rocks and Two Olive eggers.

Who knows maybe by winter I'll have two empty coops or more.

It got hot out! I was vexed working on booties so I decided to run into town and grab a few things. Sun is hot! Let little big man out with his girls before I left. They are enjoying the day. Cane back and fixed the booties. Sometimes you just have to put things aside for a bit and then the answer will come to you wheen you go back too it.

I hate spellcheck. Rancher...I'll bet your friend is allergic to something in Comercial feed. We had a hermit neighbor when I was young. He lived down the road a bit from our farm. My father stopped to check on him from time to time. Found him passed away one day. Had been there a couple of days before my father found him. Sad.

Well, back to my projects again. Later all.

Rancher, my girls found out the "evil eye" doesn't work on me. I'm from Kansas so I'm used to dealing with large livestock. These chickens hold nothing to an angry mare or a bull who got branded. The girls also know seeing me means food so they are very nice to me.

Karl rides a bike and his yard is over grown and wooded. I don't see him enough. I'm going to try to catch the mailman and see if he's getting his mail. I dropped off a mailbox post my sister gave me long ago and he did put it in.

Only God knows what happens to make a person close themselves off from the rest of the world. I expect he's about my age. Perhaps he's a former Vietnam veteran.

It's good that your father was able to check on him from time to time. I don't think Karl is dangerous. You can't see his house from the road it's so over grown.

I disagree with Rancher ..
A three month old chicken should not be eating oyster shell at all ...
They should not be given that until about 5 months or when they start laying .
That is why she is laying early ...the oyster shell is forcing her to
Her reproductive system needs a few more months to grow..
I had a chicken that laid at 4 1/2 months that got a prolasped vent ..I was able to help her get it back in
she did lay after that...But she always had a goofy butt ..

she is also the chicken that died early from being egg bound ...her sister is still alive
A young chicken that lays before she is fully developed will probably have problems .

Do you have older chickens too that need extra calcuim ?
she should be on starter , grower , or finisher ...
