The fish eating begins
Whether they are alive or dead, fish are one of the best sources of protein! My chickens especially love it when their alive though but it usually doesn't matter either way. Just fish that are the size of perch and smaller. What I do is give them live fish in a bowl...
Are your chickens eating their own eggs? Or maybe their eggs just look abnormal or the shells are thinner then their supposed to be? Well then I have a great method that I've been using for my hens that I'd like to share!
What I've been doing is using the eggs and saving the egg shells for...
Yes they are still available, all three are leghorn hens, there all about three years old going on four years, their usually great with other chickens I've only ever had and issue with one chicken we used to have that they bullied, the only sickness they have ever had was frost bite one year and...
Oh ok then just try to see how she does when she lays another one and see if it's better and just go with the first thing i said about the calcium. Hope she does better! :-)
Also do you have any roosters? This might have been caused by a first time laying fertile eggs type of deal. The egg in the picture looks like it has vains in the egg which probably means it's fertile. If you don't have a rooster do you think maybe someone elses rooster might have come into your...
My chickens have done the same thing every couple of months they'll lay an odd one and then it will go back to normal laying. Its most likely fine just make sure you are giving them plenty of food, treats, and some type of calcium like crushed up ouster shells and believe it or not you can...
In my opinion I have found that it is easier to introduce your new additions to the flock by putting them in a closed in area close enough to your flock so they can get used to being around the new additions. What you need to use to separate them is a homemade/fenced in cage that is either made...
In my experience when I had to maintain my hen for 2 weeks, the way I introduced them was by letting all the other hens out of there coop first if they werent already out and while there pecking on the ground distracted, put the hen down when they arent looking and watch carefully for any...
Whether Summer or Winter this boredom buster is one of the best things that I have used in the three chicken generations I've had! It is a great way to entertain them and allow them to have treats at the same time! All you need to have to make this is a empty bottle and oats. Take the bottle and...
They are great egg layers and are ready to find a new home. We have had them since they were chicks so they do really well around people and would love to free range! These hens would be a great addition to any family.
Hi! I just want to say first of all that im really excited to join this part of the community and that I have had three chicken generations of experience.
