    Can I use cuttle fish bone instead of oyster shells, I have given it in the past for calcium deficiency

    Ways for reducing feed cost/decreasing amount of feed used?

    I don't think it makes that big of a difference. I have been feeding all of my hens and roosters the same feed mixture for 10 years and haven't had any problems yet I Think it would be quite difficult to stop my rooster from eating the layer feed

    Would 8 days of quarantine be enough for a new rooster?

    I have a similar cage which I use for separating birds, it's good because it does not have a bottom so I can place it on top of an concrete floor and easily examine the birds dropping, he has figured out he can lift up the cage a little bit of the ground with his beak and then force his way out

    Is only a run enough?

    I have an run/cage that's about 9.5 feet by 4 feet in size, would that be enough for 1 rooster and 2 to 3 hens. Can I get by with just a run and no coop? I live in a area with pretty mild weather with the coldest temps being around 15 degrees Celcius and have no real predators Any ideas for...
