No need to add additional grit. Construction sand has sharp sand, pebbles, small rocks of all different sizes all of which aid in digestion for chickens.

I am sooooooo sorry for your loss.

If you do set up and Etsy account, be sure to pm me, because Tara and Madeline would like to check out her store. And to put a face to a name, you can see Tara and Madeline here. They also love their chickens very, VERY much! They play with them all the time.

There is nothing that you can do to make them lay quicker. That part is totally up God and God alone. Once they lay, you can certainly provide a good diet for them. If you free range your chickens, that is the best diet that you can provide. They will naturally take from nature what they...

That's really awesome!! She certainly has your artistic genes!! You tell your daughter that my children, Tara 12, and Madeline 9, both loved her creation. My daughter Tara said she should set up an Etsy account and sell her creations for profit! With a 30 gallon bag full, she has plenty of...

Nine years old?? That's pretty impressive!! Did she have a pattern to follow or did she create that from her own mind?

You're welcome!

I have found an amazing alternative to antibiotics. I first began to use it for myself and my family this past winter. It has healed my children of pink eye, strep throat. Flu and upper respiratory infections were stopped dead in their tracks. It is totally safe for humans and recently I...

I'm going to give this advice with the assumption that the 2 new birds already know where "home" is, so that if they free range, they will know where to come to at sun down. That aside, you have the best possible scenario for incorporating new to existing chickens. Your new hens are the same...

The best way to introduce and combine old and new birds is while free ranging. If you are able to free range your girls, they are able to unite as one flock on their terms and in their time. You already have them sleeping together which is good. If they are allowed to roam free during the...

Wow. The redness of the face has stumped me. The size of the crown and wattles definitely screams girl, but that redness has got me. If I was a betting girl, I'd say she's a pullet.

When pullets are about to start laying, you'll notice that they'll begin doing the "egg squat". When you walk near the chicken, it will put it's elbows out and squat down. Once your chickens start this, you'll be seeing eggs soon there after. After they lay their first egg, it's time to...

Well....a spring trap is something that will cause injury to the trapped animal for sure. If you plan to kill and bury the predator then it'll be fine. One of the issues with the spring trap, is that you have to hope that the animal hits the exact spot where the trap is set. With a live trap...

How old are the babies?

My typo. Yes. Etymology. Sorry. I fixed it.

You're Welcome. God gave you a special gift in these pullets. Buff Orps are the sweetest, most lovable breed He ever created!!!

Both Girls. I am absolutely positive that you have 2 girls. I have 5 Buff Orps which I raised from day olds, and you have two adorable little girls there!!!

[Middle English coupe, possibly from Middle Dutch kpe, basket, tub, from Germanic *kpn, possibly from Latin cpa, cask.] You can also find information in this Etymology Dictionary. That's the best that I can find!

Based on "these" photos, I would say yes!! Hold out!! If it turns out to be a girl, it will be such a happy blessing. If it's a boy, you will have NO problem rehomeing him. Hold on to Candy until you know for sure!! Although....the crowns are right about the size of my full grown hen's...
