Fire1981 Posted January 30, 2023 Report Share Posted January 30, 2023 I buy them. Look for âGrubbleysâ online. My chickens get these so their feathers donât fall out. The bird stores mealworms are twice as much. Go âGrubbleysâ đ„đ„đ„đ„ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are bantams so their eggs are small compared to larger breeds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad G. Posted February 18, 2023 Report Share Posted February 18, 2023 I remember our chicken eggs when I was a kid, we had Barred rock, Rhode island red, and Bantam (Banty) chickens. Looked like easter, white, brown, pink, and kind of a bluish green, big,small and everything in between but all mmm,mmm good. We had the Bantam because they were excellent sitting hens if I remember right ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itâs so fun to watch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire1981 Posted March 15, 2023 Report Share Posted March 15, 2023 One of my hens is a Brooder by nature  without a rooster. She sits on the eggs of the day including herâs before I collect them. She just started doing this with the time change. All my hens are 1 years old now. I gotta remember to have live crickets to feed the when my Granddaughter comes over. đ„ RAR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire1981 Posted March 24, 2023 Report Share Posted March 24, 2023 So Chunk tore the tops of her feet up. I found out if you play music and roll them on their back. They will fall asleep while you tend to their wounds. All this and she hasnât stopped laying eggs. đ„ RAR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schmoozer Posted March 25, 2023 Report Share Posted March 25, 2023 We has a killdeer drop 2 eggs in our yard and abandon the nest. Having 5 dogs in the yard is not a good place to nest. I saw them in the yard and tried to chase them out, they are minimalists, just making a depression in the gravel. For 2 years they nested successfully in the upper yard by the drive way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
