Where do I post an answer to Nifty-Chicken? He ask me how things were going and I don't know where to post the answer. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Being 81 years old, I don't move around on this computer much. Thanks
I have Rhode Island Reds and one Buff Orpington, named Gracie. She is my favorite. I give them a treat each evening when I let them out in the yard. When I open the shed door, she comes running and walks in and shows me where the treat bucket is. I have to be careful not to step on her as she...
No, I don't shell them. I get them at the grocery store in the bird seed section. I think they are already shelled. At least the hens eat them and ask for more,;)
Mine love the black oil sunflower seeds I toss out every evening around 6. Gracie, my Buff Orpington, even follows me into the shed and shows me where it is.
When I built my coop, it was for only three chickens. I told my two brothers and they too wanted chickens but their wives didn't want them. My wife didn't want chickens either. So I named my three Rhode Island Reds the names of our wives, Irene, Janet and Carol. I think everyone was actually...
I've had chickens about 5 years now. I built the coop to house only 3 or 4 hens. Not allowed to have chickens here. I got three hens from a moving sale. Rhode Island Reds. About a year later, one died, and a few months later another one died. I found another lady who was moving and bought 2 Buff...
I haven't seen anything on this, but I may have missed it. I don't get on here often. Has anyone used Kitty Litter under their
roosts? I read the article about sand in the coop versus wood shavings and straw. Just curious about the Kitty Litter. Something
that would keep the odor down and dry...
I built my coop from free wood my son gave me. It is wood siding on a 2x3 frame. I only have three hens. It is 4 foot by 5 foot by about 5 feet tall. It is on 2 foot 4x4 legs and the run is cattle panel with chicken wire . The girls love it and a tornado didn't damage it, but a neighbors tree...
Since the coop and run is close to my garden, I talk to them a lot. I also give them meal worms that I get at Tractor Supply. They love them .can see me coming with the bag, get all excited.
I started with three Rhode Island Reds. Bought them at a moving sale. We are not supposed to have chickens here, so built a small coop and run for 3 hens. I don't know how old they were but in a couple of years they died off. Picked up three Buff Orpingtons from a lady that was moving to...
In the beginning they were for eggs only. But every time I go out there, they come running round for a treat. So Guess pets are in the conversation too. I can pet them and they seem to like it. I only have three Black Austrolorp.
These hens are under one year old. I bought them from a guy that hatched them. They all look alike so it's tough to know which one it is. I may have to put colored bracelets on them to id them. Thanks for replying. I can't seem to get pictures to send on this old computer, but will keep trying.
I have 3 Black Astralorpes and can't tell which one is laying these pointy eggs with the soft tip. Any idea what
that is all about. They get good quality laying feed and I mix in a little oyster shell with it. the eggs are good
just curious about the pointy end and it is a little sort on the...
