I use sand in my turkey shed due to the amount of poop made overnight by such big birds. I go in daily with a kitty litter scoop taped to a shovel handle to pick up the droppings. It gets topped off yearly. I found it to be the cleanest for turkeys. I would never use it with my chickens though...

What are you asking?

I have around 100 chickens currently, so I'm no help with self control. :oops:

Are they air pockets or just a full crop? It is hard to control yourself sometimes with chickens, they are so addictive and enjoyable.

I don't have any problems with any of my feather footed birds, so I don't know why some people do.

Yes they do, my avatar shows one of my frizzled hens.

I highly recommend bantam cochins, the roosters are often gentle, though they can be stinkers at times, but I adore them anyways. I believe they are called pekins in the UK.

You should keep a minimum of 10 hens per rooster, more is better, unless you plan to breed specific birds or free range in a high predator area, than sometimes extra roosters are an asset. Roosters not raised together or those not raised in the flock will fight with the other roosters generally...

I never though your post was stupid, it can make a difference on how you read the article, so I gave my opinion on how I read it. I found your responses to it good.

I think the article wants people to know that there are things to consider before getting chickens. They have become quite popular. Many people buy them but they don't know anything about them, and than are surprised by most of the things mentioned in the article. Chickens are noisy and...

I'm not surprised, I personally don't worry about buying organic feeds, or non gmo for my chickens. I do buy some organic produce for us humans though, and try to grow as much as possible. My chickens work the land which 's definitely organic, but that's as far as I personally go. Many of my...

That's horrible, hopefully they can retrieve her. Thanks for letting me know and the link.

I don't think this site is officially open yet. If she didn't go over to BYH she may not know about how to get here until they officially link it back to the original website.

Yep. Do we need to post in threads again to be following them again? More work ahead if that's what I have to do.

This was about 20 years ago, it was just starting to be a thing.

My brother and his wife had bubbles at their wedding, they got mad when no one knew what to do with them.

I remember the rice, which by the way hurts when flung at you by well wishers.

Thanks for that LG, I always wondered, but never saw an exploding bird, so I wasn't sure.

I believe uncooked rice can kill both birds and mammals if consumed, or is that an old wives tale? Anyone?

Thanks for that @Leahs Mom, I had no clue about quinoa.
