  1. worms on the outside of the feed bag

    Hello, I bought 50lb bags of sunflower seeds, wheat, and corn in June and have been storing them in the house until i needed them, which would have been this weekend since i just finished up my previous batch (I prefer to mix my own). I have 6 chickens, so they don't eat a ton, so it can tend...

  4. Chicken disappeared, now back, possible wing injury

    Hi, I have an araucana, ~4-5y.o. She disappeared sunday night and reappeared monday sometime. (No clue! City lot. By best guess is bird of prey and she dropped from a height, though no clue how she got home. Yard has a 6' privacy fence.) Shes now wobbly and her wings are hanging down. Ive...

  6. Chickens not laying?

    I got the bls when they were baby chicks. I added the other two in december.

Some of my bsl are either not laying or theyre taking turns bc im only getting ~3 a day. and im not seeing any behavioral problems.

  9. Soundproofing the run (not the coop)

    Hello, I have 6 black sex links, 1 yr old, and two of them can get awfully obnoxious and loud. Constant screeching from about 10 to 2p. I work 9-5 during the week, so i only hear it on weekend and therefore am not trained to go let them out when they get loud. Since i do work during the week...

  12. two egg questions

    Hi, So my girls have taken to pushing the straw out of the nesting box before laying, so theyre laying on the underneath plywood.

  15. Whole Oats as chicken feed?

    There is no science that says its safe bc monsanto, et al arent forced to test it. But common sense says that splicing the dna of a plant and adding in pesticide dna cannot possibly be healthy. It cannot be wiped or rinsed off. There are, however, studies that show pesticides in the fetuses of...

  19. Don't use your clothes dryer!!! :-)

    I accidentally broke my dryer 2 1/2 yrs ago and havent replaced it. I have multiple clotheslines in the basement for drying. My basement is unheated though, so some of the heavier items might take 2 days to dry. I did not see a significant drop in electrical usage, but i only did about two loads...

  20. Introducing New Hens

    About a month ago, i introduced two 3-4 yr old hens to my current flock of 6 10 month olds. I didnt have the ability/setup to separate them, so i put out an extra water and food dish in the furthest corner of the (decent sized) run. I witnessed a couple of wing pulling incidents but it only...
