Hey. I'm in my 5th week as a chicken owner and haven't had any issues.. yet 🤞 I made these pvc feeders and they take what they want when they want. The water bowl is a heavy duty rubber bowl from TSC that I have raised off the ground 5 inches or so. and no tip overs to this point. I'm not...

Okay.. thanks

Ahhh... forgot about that question. Thanks!

So.. veggie stuff is considered treats?

Hi all... Newbie here and need direction as to what feed I should move to and at what point? There's so many different feeds and different variations as well as different opinions/perspectives that it's making my head spin. We are one month into raising these seven 16 week old easter eggers...

Btw.. he is not a she? 🤔 Right? 😬

Okay.. that's what I thought. Thanks!

Btw.. I how many hens would you suggest to keep both roos? I believe I've read 1 per 10?

I hope so too.. the more colorful one appears to be the head honcho. 🙂

Thanks.. I think I'm going to keep one of the two. Friends down the road may be interest in the other.
