I've been working outside so much and we have 3 of our grand babies here with us for 5 weeks. But I wanted to check in and see how everyone is doing. This will be our first year with a really nice garden. We're working on it right now. I can't wait!!! I'll try and get some pictures of my hens...
We had to leave for 2 weeks and I was so worried about my little worms. So I put lots of baby carrots and prayed for the best. We got home and I found a trillion of them! I think more hatched out while I was gone, I quickly added more baby carrots and watched. I forgot, do the worms shedd? I...
Hi chicken women...I live in Big Timber, actually south of Big Timber in the mountains. We love it up here..
Adalia... my chickens lay pretty late in the day... some days not until 1 pm..
I have been having a problem since the weather turned so cold....I put the red light in so they could have some heat and since I turned it off, they are not making it back in when it is dark, the automatic door closes and only 2 made it in and 12 still in the run...So we have to open the door...
You guys will never guess what I found on the hen house floor! I was gathering all the eggs and I noticed the hens all looking at something on the floor, I looked and it was this very tiny egg.... here's a picture of it... I'm not sure it really shows how tiny it is but that's a quarter laying...
Thank you, I ordered two of the API 250D 200 Watt Pail and Bird Bath De-Icer with guard and a 6' cord.... We are going to be gone for 2 weeks and so we are setting up a Garbage can with the vertical nipples and then I can put both heaters in the big garbage can.. I sure hope all of this works... Rae
I have a question, what are all of you doing for water heaters? I have 2 5 gallon Buckets for water with nipples on the bottom.... I need to put heaters on them because we're getting real cold... Rae
yeah, I don't want to cull them either... I will take some pictures on Friday, we have to go to town tomorrow.... Joe has a doctor appointment and then we're have to buy more wood to build the retaining wall for the walk way to the chicken house ... we were just 3' short of the 1/4" hardware...
I'm not sure what to do when the time comes and they no longer lay, they'll be too to eat..... what do you think? Yesh, mine are on layer Pellets and I've always had Oyster Shell available for them at all times.... The one I think will lay first did squat for me when I picked her up, so...
well min haven’t even started laying yet.... But I was thinking that I wouldn't need to get new chicks but every other year... so this next spring mine should be laying a whole lot of eggs, I hope anyways....lol If they're not laying then I would love to order with you..... <3
Well mine have never laid an egg! Maybe I should give some to mine... when I make me oatmeal, I make extra ad put it out at night when I close the door up...that way they have something special when they wake up....Tonight I put a bag of Shredded Carrots, they'll be so happy when they see...
well, I've never done it before.... So I got 1000 from PETSMART and then when I got home, came home and put some oatmeal in my 3 drawer Steralite Container and then added some baby Carrots....OMG, They must have been so thursty the attached to them like crazy... today the carrots are all...
