Looks real good boss ;D
Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and every living creature that moves on the ground. Genesis 1:28 The Lord God used animal skins and made some clothes for the man and his wife. Then he put the clothes on them. Genesis 3:21So take your bow and arrows and go hunting and kill an animal for me to eat. Genesis 27:3
Well my chicken raising experience has gone well. I been expecting a drop in egg production but so far they're still pumping them out. Too many actually and I wish I had more egg customers. It was 5*F yesterday and the ladies dropped a perfect score of 12 eggs for 12 hens. Lately though they been averaging 9 per day. They seem to be happy out there though and the morning sun blast through the glass and makes it cozy in there. So far so good. ;D
One question for ya: When the temps are way down, I don't leave them out into the run. They don't spend any time out there anyway and it just lets the coop chill out and their water freezes, so I keep them in. By doing so they don't have access to the sand in the pen. I know they need grit for their gizzards. I believe there's oyster shell stuff that I can buy and I keep forgetting to get some. Do I just add it to their food? If so, how much.
Thanks

I just kept mine in a smaller seperate feeder. Let them get what they want. I mean when you mix it they can pick out what they want still but I didn't want to short em any. Eventually I stopped giving them grit as my neighbor told me I didn't need to since I was feeding a mash type feed. I never noticed any difference in them when I did stop.

You can add it to their food or you can set up a separate dispenser like the feed has. I keep grit in a pan in the coop. Theyll take it as they need it.
Yea but what about the times I go through the drive thru and don't have pants on?---Maritimer
