Can I give this to my chickens
I have a question. I boiled turkey neck, heart and liver with onions, carrots and celery. Can I give my chickens the neck ?

My hen swallowed a whole frog and a whole mouse one time. I still have never given my hens The whole carcass. Instead, I do a slow boil and process all meat and dispose of bones. Then I weigh out equal amounts, put in seperate baggies and into freezer. I can then pull out some chicken from the freezer for the hens. Like a one serving bag of protein for the 9 hens.

@Debbi Jesse that's. Hilarious to picture
Looking for topics to bring in experts on...
One of the big things I want to do for this community is bring in experts on various topics you want to know about. My goal will be to have calls that you can ask questions and get immediate answers and they are recorded for future use if needed. I'm not an expert so I'll be relying on others in various areas to bring us that expertise. So question is...what do you want to hear about? It can be generic info for a season...like spring prep or winter prep. Or we could do something specific like breeding, showing chickens, etc. The sky is the limit as I know we have a lot of great people here with expertise. I have already talked with a couple that are willing to come on and help. So let us know in the comments. Anything is possible. Don't hold back. And if you see a comment that sparks interest, expand on it for others. Looking forward to seeing what we come up with!

I'm in zone 6a CT. Thats probably the #1 best advice to give when educating yourself on keeping chickens. Weather and seasons are truly what it's all based on. Where in the world are you located! People in CT should not take advice on keeping chickens from someone in Cali. Took me my first year to really understand that. It makes it much easier to navigate the 'chicken tending' life πŸ’ͺπŸ“β€οΈ chicken tax pic : earlier this week

@Paula Boggan normally they do go in. In the rare chance they don't....just look out the window some point after dark. Are they all waiting at the door like they missed the bus? Then go out there and put them in.

Zone 6a so atm, keeping hens enriched and fueled to survive the cold winter season. We are bored but short walk to the green house where it's nice and warm helps on cold but sunny days. I stock it with plenty of straw and scratch. Is it spring yet!? 😳

9 Connecticut hens! No favorites but there's nothing like a big ol', golden feathered, Buff Orphington 😍
Share a tip with other keepers
What's one thing you can share with other chicken keepers that changed you or your flocks life? Could be a feeding situation, coop embellishment, a fact about chickens, whatever you want. Drop it in the comments below and outline why you did it and how it impacted you in a positive way. Let's all learn from each other with great tips.

I have to free range. I wouldn't have it any other way. I didn't want to continue to spend 2 hours walking with chickens, so, we built a 'playground' and have the entire thing 1/4 inch hardware clothed. The 2 coops open Up into a playground and they are more free and so am I! πŸ“β€οΈ

I love to talk natural healing using mushrooms & herbs. I love to grow Lions mane/Turkey tail/Reishi/and cordycep mushrooms. I love the mycorrhiza.
