    Luckily, these girls eat pellets and crumble with no snobbery. Just no bananas or carrots, thank you. Eggshells get eaten stat.

    What did you do with your flock today?

    Meanwhile, the run renovation by DH is coming along nicely. He is putting up solid roofing so we both can get under it without bending over. Now we can take the tarps down. I have one leghorn that will come and look for broken eggs every time I open the nesting box lid. If I'm not quick, she...

    Her sister has also slowed down on laying, so must be breed and age. Sapphire Blue. 3+ years old. No one else is showing any signs of illness. Thank you!

    What did you do with your flock today?

    She laid probably once or twice a week. Thank you for this information, which can't really be found elsewhere. I am thankful for your vast knowledge.

    What did you do with your flock today?

    I was curious as to what was in her crop, so I did cut it open. Nothing except the cold coconut oil clumps, some residual food, grass, snacks, some liquid and a small, green plum which she had swallowed whole. Nothing blockage wise. Maybe her system just quit. I don't have the heart or stomach...

    What did you do with your flock today?

    @Shetland lover or anyone else? Topaz, 3 y.o. Sapphire Blue. She was lethargic yesterday, staying alone and went to roost early. This morning she was hunched down by the feeder. Her breathing seems slightly labored, and her beak is open to breathe. I gave her coconut oil which she readily ate...

    What did you do with your flock today?

    For sure. Just happened. Had me sad for a bit. Laverne didn't show up when called in for 2 nights, and the day time in between. Her sister Shirley followed me out to the garage this morning as I was retrieving something out of it. I happened to turn around, Shirley was on the hood of my car, and...

    Mine also turn their beaks up at carrots. I may try carrots on my upper deck. DH redid their roost, and now no one wants to use it, where before they would crowd it. They are so unpredictable. I was concerned about their combs touching the metal roof and getting frostbite or burn. It only takes...

    What did you do with your flock today?

    No slugs or dirt with hydroponics, or weeding and mulching! Just have to keep an eye on the nutrient solution. Found some leaf holes yesterday. Bugs are out! I started with about 11 liters in these 3 meter downspouts. No refill yet in 3 weeks. Babies don't need much. After a glorious 20 - 23...

    What did you do with your flock today?

    I have a food mill for applesauce, but for tomato sauce, I have a Vitamix blender, quartered romas, and blend skin, seeds and all until smooth. Then I cook down. You have quite a bit going there, too! My tromboncino did well in Texas. I put them in the wrong place a couple years ago. They need...

    I also added some iGeek cameras, bought 3 for 120, and I like them way better. No subscription needed, just add a micro SD card and you can access all videos. The app is very user friendly. Only pay if you want to store videos on their cloud. Less programming settings, so also is on 24/7...

    What did you do with your flock today?

    Still a bit cool for the summer crops. I only have garlic, snow and snap peas, beets, onions and potatoes in the ground, spinach in a pot, bok choy in hydroponic gutter downspouts. Picking up tomato plants in a couple weeks. Teaser day. It felt like summer. I don't think I could handle that...

    What did you do with your flock today?

    I believe we have all been quite busy with spring activities. My two 9 mo. old kitties have been leaving their presents near the door, so I just toss them to the girls. Over the last few days, 2 shrews, and today a mouse, or large shrew. Do shrew have ears? This one did. So entertaining to watch...

    What did you do with your flock today?

    They got more wrinkled apples today. Has anyone had a chicken with stubby toes? I noticed one of mine (she doesn’t like me close by, she happened to be roosting where the fence was between us) and she has on one foot, toes that look shorter, and the nail is inside the end of the toe. Don't know...
