I was just reading on another thread that kale and spinach isn't good to feed to laying hens. Supposedly it makes for soft eggs? I feed mine kale all the time. It's their favorite. Anyone else ever heard this?

i planted a peach tree and a plum tree today! I was amazed i was able to dig down that far.
DH and i went for a walk along the river and back up to the hoop coop. There are piles of rocks i can use to build a wall along the driveway where there is an ugly bank of bare earth. Hubby expects me to put in a concrete footer so that is going to be a major job!
And we saw an interesting piece of wood. I want to put it somewhere i can enjoy looking at it.View attachment 1243075

Cool piece, unique

Never heard that Suzi. Seems odd that they would love it if it isn't good for them.


Mine are nutty for swiss chard.

Really? Awesome !Goats love them. You can peel and chop them and feed them to chickens. Natural dewormer in the tannins.

It's a deworming but? Really I've been feeding them too the chickens just for fun

I read that thread too. I call bull taters.

I’ve clipped a beak with toe nail clippers and I’ve used a dremel to grind it down. It’s how easily the bird is to handle...
I agree her lower beak is very short so her upper may always be longer then it should.
Ship her here. (If it’s a her) I’ll take care of her.

I'm pretty sure it's a she I'll watch her maybe she will grow out of it

I need to friend to come sit in my chicken run with me. Hahaha! Even my chicken friends are not as nutty as me.

@TexasSam it is like her top beak it too big and curved, her bottom beak is way too short and what is that lump looking thing on her neck? Poor baby!

The lump is a full crop that is normal
