    If Chickens Could Speak, What Would Yours Complain About?

    Reason for that is in the wild it's beneficial for everyone to lay in the same spot so they can all be brooded and protected together. If a flock has 5 different nests that would make it very inconvenient for a bird to hatch them out. In the context of a backyard flock it's silly as most birds...

    prayer warriors (following Jesus Christ, everyone welcome)

    Ran into an old friend and her son earlier and found out that they had a house fire and her elderly mother was trapped. Thankfully she is alive but she is in the burn ward. Please pray for her healing and for comfort, strength and provision for my friend and her husband (they also lost 6 dogs in...

    Any Gamers Here?

    I managed to kill the reaper 3 times in persona 3 reload last night. Even though I got ambushed all 3 times (I really need to get better at ambushing the guy) he was nowhere near as bad as I was expecting. Last time was a bit dicey at the end as I need to buff our defense AND debiliate him and I...

    Rooster incompetent? Bullying?

    By inviting him to dinner. This behavior is not likely to get better (and is likely to get worse). He should be culled before someone gets hurt

    emergency feed

    Keifer is a fermented dairy product. Tastes and has a consistency somewhat similar to yogurt

    Dose cracked corn keep chickens warm

    Also think about this, if corn was really especially good at keeping birds warm then normal chicken feed would be problematic in summer as most chicken feed is mostly corn. Better to stick with a good chick starter or all flock and keep treats at a minimum as usual

    At what age can chicks have scratch?

    That's why I don't buy scratch, the wsmallest I've seen at tractor supply is 10lbs and I give it so infrequently that 95% of it would go bad before I could use it all. If I need to call my girls in with food, I just use a little cat food since I always have that on hand. Whatever you use, keep...

    What made you happy today?

    Saw Juniper (buff orpington) on the nest last night while checking for eggs so she might be going broody. If so that would be perfect as that would give me a late winter hatch. I will give her a week or so to make sure she's truly broody though

    Are They Eating Too Much Calcium?

    https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/fermenting-chicken-feed-a-straightforward-method.75967/ For 4 birds though I'd go with a pint jar rather than a 5 gallon bucket especially if it's just a treat, and yes a wet mash works too if you don't want to ferment
