Quote: I have yet to see prof that scratch warms chickens. All the local farmers up here (in Canada) tell me that it's just a wifes tail and not true at all. As well on another string here I challenged some one to show me prof and all I could get was opinion. Where are the studies and...

they are chickens make them eat layer mash. the issue with scratch is that they will what they like and not everything. they don't get what they need. (info from the nice lady at my local farm coop) mash they are forced to get a well balanced diet. I mix 25% scratch 25% flax (we like omega 3)...

Great thread. A friend of mine gets the grain from a local brewer and puts out a big bin of it and lets the birds have there way with it. he has a lot of birds. I was wondering if brewers grain / distiller grains are ok for laying hens.

Our wolfhound has killed many bears that looked so much like your bear as well as a few bunny's, and a huge duck. The carnage was just to wide spread to take pictures but now I regret not taking pics. your pic is GREAT! Thanks for posting it. A-

O. K. last weekend was huge for us we went to the local flee market to buy 2 hens and I ended up with 2 young leghorns (who had an instant issue and gave it to my other hens) then I saw a friend of mine who keeps chickens Ameraucana and he offered me a few on Monday. so I got them and started...

Quote: I think there are laws against "turning on a chicken" in every state of the union. as for atmospheres for turning on a chicken. do not use candles in the coop. I'm sorry I could not help myself

Nice pic! I am envious, but I'm going to buy 2 green egg layers this weekend. I have 3 red sex-links ATM and they lay beautiful brown eggs. My son and I want green eggs and ham. I was talking to one of the fathers where my son goes to school who has been keeping bantys his who life and he...

my girls laid in a little nook in the yard that they where never in when I was looking. Look under shrubs, trees weeds or flowers every place. My girls free range a half an acre and it took me a month to find the nest (shallow hole) where they laid. I started keeping them in the run until they...

it was a skunk! Skunks will kill everything and eat only organ meat if there is enough birds. Big male coons smell but not like a skunk it's musty but not skunky. coons will kill one and run off to a tree to eat it and if it's still hungry it will go get another if it can. unless it's rabid...

it was a skunk! A skunk is the only predator I know of that will kill everything in a coop. as well did the birds only have just a bit eaten? Skunks tend to only eat organ meat unless there is only one bird and it's hungry. everything else kills and eats one or two then gets full and moves...
