My gosh, I’d forgotten the crazyness posting on forums can be. One trying to navigate & figure the page out. The other is the slew of opinions & bickering that starts up,lol.
I definitely don’t think having chickens is rocket science. I can certainly understand some things should be kept in check, but I also don’t have a massive flock of birds. Our birds are free roaming to a large yard. We have them mainly as pets really as we find them very entertaining & the eggs are a bonus.
My Mom has done the same for several years & feeds them about anything & everything & always had healthy happy birds.
Mine have just began laying. This is the third week in since our first couple. A few few we didn’t get because two froze & got pecked during a sub 0° week that they was stuck in the coop & I’ve had a couple soft shells before today’s that also got mushed.
My two sapphires are being pretty consistent & laying almost every day generally early in the morning. My Americana is still random with another who I haven’t figured out yet. But the Americana is the one laying the soft eggs currently. She has laid 3 hard eggs prior though.
