Ahem, water boarding is not allowed just to get egg production up!

Chickens don't try to get out??? BALONEY MAHONEY

Yeah my dad tried to use info from his books to argue with me. I simply called the rooster i hand raised then gave to him and watched it fly out and come running to me.

Hey there,

it was pointed out to me that there's a "Chicken Chat" at Coastal Ranch supply in Auburn, Thursday evening, 6 pm.

I am planning to go and see what sorts of discounts they offer to attendees, and hopefully, learn something new. They are having hors'douves and drawings.

Is anyone else going? Maybe that's a great chance for a meet up? Anyone want to join me?
Maybe dinner at the mexican place on Supermall Way afterwards?

Firewife? JustRen? ZGoatlady? anyone else in the area? Seattle folks?

Those chickens of mine sincerely believe that they are prisoners kept in terrible conditions. When I go out there, they're happy to see me/sit on me/spend time with me. The moment I go back inside, they set to digging holes at the fencing so that they can escape. I've caught lone Belgians wandering the yard happily when everyone else is in the pen. The holes are big enough for them to slip under the fence. I have to take bricks out there and block their holes. They're just a big bunch of brats.

My father in law put a rope around their yard to try and keep them just in their yard well they hopped up on a board that is along side their coop and sized up the greenhouse and up they went
(it is just as tall as our house). Once up on top they walked around on the roof for a bit then walked down to the lowest corner and flew down. If they want to escape they will, they refuse to be prisoners in the deplorable conditions in which they are forced to live. We have one that we refer to as The Escapee she was getting out at a month old and of course her sisters had to follow her lead. It took us awhile to figure out how she did it but we just could not keep her in so we may be clipping a wing on the 4 this end of spring. I agree 100% "a big bunch of brats."

Hey- this is off topic and not about chickens, but it's written by a friend of mine, about all the things coconut oil fixes- antiviral, antifungal, fixes neurological damage, aids in weight loss (although it hasn't fixed mine yet!), etc, etc. The comments by readers, below, are especialy interesting. I just thought I would share- and maybe whoever had the doctor tell them coconut oil was bad could click some links and forward to their physician. There's a ton of scientific, peer reviewed studies published on the health benefits of coconut oil

They act like we're running egg work camps. Never mind the fact that they get nice treats and affection from their human mother (I don't have or want kids, but I consider the girls to be my cute feathered children

).

Quote: If following a true DL method, the grass would compact, mold, and not absorb the urine. The shavings or pellets are very absorbent, which is crucial when using DL method. The pellets you soak in water and they expand A LOT, and absorb A LOT. Pellets are not as dusty as shavings, you might be able to get away with those. I am contemplating getting pellets next time to try them out. I would recommend seeing if you could get a sample to test your allergy, so you don't have to spend money on a whole bag but it is on sale at Coastal for $5?? i think. So it's not too expensive.

So no the chickens won't eat the pellets because you will have already mixed them with water and they are fluffy. They may try it, but IMHO chickens peck anything.

I would not ever consider putting my wood pellets in water before I put them down as litter. That defeats the purpose of having your litter be able to absorb the moisture.

My birds do not eat the wood pellets. They must be able to tell the difference between food pellets and wood pellets.
