I told them this evening after paying 9.79 for eggs they were running on borrowed time and would end up on DeaconKFC's or Lawchick Coocoo Dominicker's guncart if they didn't start putting out. A couple of them started straining. We'll see in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earl Brasse, SASS #3562 Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 Just show the chickens a big Zip-lock bag 1/4 full of breadcrumbs & tell them "If you produce, you get what's in the bag; if not, you're going in the bag." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawdog Dago Dom Posted February 12, 2023 Author Share Posted February 12, 2023 Update number 2. We went and met with a very nice Amish gentleman who builds coops. 5'x7'. 8 ft. tall. Solid cedar, steel roof. Outside egg access, with spots for 7 to sit. Also is a 12x12 caged run that disassembles without tools. He gets cedar logs and has a homemade sawmill on hand. Cuts the boards right there. Should be delivered late next week. Then we start looking for chicks! Eli also builds other size sheds. He said a coop takes a full day to cut and assemble.

bgavin Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 If you plan a wire cage against varmints, one of my clients has a suggestion. Dig down at least a foot to bury the cage wire in the ground. Most important: bend the cage wire 90 degrees and extend it another foot or more in a horizontal run away from the cage wall. He says this will stop even the most determined digging varmint. My youngest daughter raisers chickens. She puts the discarded egg shells back out into the feed as they provide an important nutrient. She also says chickens are a whole lot smarter than their general reputation affords. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In addition to this we used to put barbwire in the horizontal cut. Anything that digs winds up with the pads of their feet shredded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With eyes on the opposite sides of their head how good can their eyesight be? Good enough to snap a flying mosquito out of the air in less then a blink!

Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 I know a woodworker in Ohio who had Guinea hens running loose on his property. I don’t know about egg production but they kept his place free of ticks for his three labradors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
