Quote: I close the door after dark to keep any unwanted critters out. I might be a little over protective.

Yesterday I threw all 26 of them out again. Last night all but one came in by themselves!!! I only had to catch one.

They're all back inside. Repeat tomorrow.

Fred's Hens : Do like Motel 6 and leave a light on for them. They'll sometimes gravitate toward the light from the outside darkness. That's true, but the coop is about 4 feet off the ground and it takes a little while for them to get used to the ramp.

Before you get ready to shoot me.---- I just threw my 7 week old pullets out of the coop for the first time. I think it's about time they were out in the run. Of course, the fun will be tonight when I have to catch them to put them back inside. ( I remember what happened with the last bunch) It...

In early June I received 26 pulletts from McMurray Hatcheries. They were supposed to be the Rainbow Layers Selection. Two were roos which is not the problem. They have all started to lay except three. ALL of the eggs are either white or brown. I don't think I will ever order a group like that...

Thank you all for your help. This web site is like talking to family Bill

Help!! We are getting eggs from our pulletts and they are VERY TASTY. One minor problem. When we boil them we can not get the shell off with out taring the egg apart. We have tried peeling them while they are hot, also at room temp. and putting them in the refrig. over night. Nothing seems to...

Quote: I just got 52 CX this week from Central Hatchery. They look healthy and active. First order from this hatchery, so far real good. Total cost including shipping $ 55.05 If these work out I will be ordering from them every time. This is day four and I've lost one. They are still...

Quote: SteveH, These look and act like CX, but since this is the first time getting anything from them, I will have to wait and see if they grow like the good CX suppose to. I'm feeding them 24% game bird chick starter and will keep them on it until processing. I bought 1000 pounds and when...

Quote: Online they quote 100 chicks, but when you call them they will tell you there is a five dollar charge on anything less than 100. Ordering 50 the cost break down is $35.00 for the chicks $ 5.00 for less than 100 order, and $15.05 was shipping. Day 2 the chicks look healthy and so far...
