This is what she stays in. Before we built this, the four hens were in an old dog pen that was 100 square feet that we used for the run. Now they only have 40 square feet in this run. We move this every other day so they can have fresh grass. Going from 100 square feet to 40 square feet is a big...
We are feeding them Dumor layer feed from Tractor Supply Store, and they also free range as well. I haven't been feeding them any supplemental protein.
In the past, we have been using DE in the coop and also in their dust box. When I first noticed this problem, I thought perhaps we were not being aggressive enough treating for lice and mites so we used spray in the coop and on the chickens as well. I am just wondering if she could be pulling...
I have a Rhode Island Red hen that is 15 months old that has a bald spot on her back near the tail. It has been there for about three weeks. My guess is: 1) she is molting, but she seems too young for that. 2) one of the other chickens is pulling the feathers out. 3) maybe a bug infestation...
Cool pictures TanksHill. Thanks for sharing those. Yeah, I think using old dresser drawers would probably work really well for growing lettuce and spinach.
Here is a picture of the salad boxes that we made yesterday for leaf lettuce and spinach. I will let you all know what my results are. I do love to experiment around with new ideas.
:weee

We had a German Shepherd (which was the best dog I ever had) with that name. When we had her registered, we spelled her name wrong so I have spelled it that way ever since.
Well, I was looking at some YouTube videos of Michael Jackson last night. I saw "maybe" three or four songs of his that I actually like (one being the song I posted earlier in the thread). That is about it for me, although I was having some fun when I was dancing to some of those songs. :lol:
I have never been a fan of pop music or Michael Jackson, but I do love music in general. Now that he is gone, maybe I can appreciate some of his songs. :hu
I was watching this video on YouTube of Michael Jackson. He had a nice voice and could definitely move on stage. In fact, some of those dance moves of his really were quite amazing. The lyrics to this song are nice, although I don't know for sure if he actually wrote the song himself. It is kind...
Congratulations on your first canning! That is very inspiring. :celebrate
I did freeze squash today. In fact, today was the first time that I have ever frozen anything out of my garden so it was an accomplishment for me. lol
