I changed to dug or two bags ago and egg production has gone down 1/2 I went back to tractor supply inexpensive food.

I too think just a treat not part of their feed is fine.

My chickens love soldier worms! Rattle the bag and they come a running! So fun and such good protein for them. Seems I always have one or two hens that want to stay out in their run when I want to close them in their coop. Our second garage is now a barn as my husband built a large coop in...

I would ask your local mill or elevator. They should know as they deal in grain and mixing feed.

Yes baked eggshells crushed are good calcium, however I read earlier today it isn’t good to give extra calcium to chicks because it stunts the growth of their bones. Please research this.

The cubes need to be soaked for horses because they can choke on them. I would soak cubes because I don’t think they will be able to peck them apart. They’re really hard.

I am growing bean sprouts for my chickens. Very easy. They love them. For the babies I put them in my chopper first. Now at 3 months they eat them without me chopping. You have the choice of how big you want them. Usually a week after initial soaking they are ready and fill the quart jar I grew...

Good morning everyone from northern MI. I’m 74 and hubby 69. We love our chickens. Hubby is new at this, I’m not. We got 5 Rhode Island reds a yr ago and 3 Jersey Giants. Our little fuzzy butts.

I don’t know about bugs but my hens can go out when they choose when the coop door is open. They have a large coop in our second garage and a nice size run which we are enlarging this summer. They are very happy and are ten months old now. We are adding more indoor space for babies this spring...

We bought them from tractor supply. We have 3 and 5 Rhode Island reds. We are going to get 10 more chicks when they have some.

I have a Jersey Giant that has white ears. The spot behind the eye. She is definitely a jersey giant. 10 mo old. I also have one that has a short comb. They’re 10 mo old.
