    Chickens and Rice do mix

    For less than that you could buy 50lbs of a basic chick feed or layer feed which unlike rice would provide everything they need. There are ways of cutting down on feed cost such as free ranging, fermenting feed and feeding them only a bit more than you know they'll eat every day (or using a...

    Success stories about resetting pecking order?

    Her behavior sounds more like normal pecking order stuff rather than bullying. Interfering may cause more harm than good here, I'd just let them sort it out amongst themselves and would only step in if someone is getting hurt. Sure, it isn't pretty but once things get established, it will be...

    Cold weather: free range or keep cooped?

    I agree with letting them choose and unless you have very young chicks or very old birds who can't take the cold anymore, chickens don't need heat at those temps. It's not until you get below zero that you have to start worrying about the cold. Just make sure they can get out of the wind and...

    What made you happy today?

    I was able to get a refill kit, refillable 1lb kegs and a 20lb tank today! Friend is taking me to get the 20lb tank filled tomorrow so I will be sorted for the coming snow!

    What made you happy today?

    They're really good! Even as someone who does not like seafood I do like octopus. It has a very mild flavor, not fishy at all and takoyaki is really good (the local ramen place makes really good takoyaki). I would 100% recommend trying it if you get the chance!

    So many winter eggs, is this normal?

    Some birds will start up late winter (especially younger birds) and some will wait until spring is in full swing. Both are perfectly fine, they're going to do whatever they're going to do. Enjoy it but know they won't necessarily start up this early as they get older nor will future birds start...

    2026 Chick Thread!

    Main concern is disease. Make sure he is quarantined for a month before introducing him to you flock and make sure they quarantine him when you send him back

    How cold is too cold

    What breeds do you have and do you have especially young or especially old birds? As long as they have adequate draft free ventilation most birds are fine at those temps. Just make sure the water doesn't stay frozen (and keep it out of the coop as it adds humidity and humidity is the enemy...

    Things you wish you could say

    Sir, I don't agree with this being age restricted either but the decisions of what's age restricted and what isn't is well above my head. If you have a problem with it take it up with the county, getting mad at me accomplishes absolutely nothing, I just work here and am just doing my job

    Layer or sayer ??

    I agree, late blooming cockerel. The presence of more dominant birds can delay development in cockerels and deter them from crowing which might be why he isn't going after pullets or crowing yet (that and every bird is different). Give him time and he'll likely do all that eventually

    Things you wish you could say

    Some dogs will bark because they are happy to see you and want attention so them liking you won't necessarily solve it
