Chicken raising


In July we picked up three pullets and name them Einstein, Picky Chicky and Peckala.
 We secured their coop and noticed that they were having a little bit of mucus from there beaks.
We are able to get colonial silver and treat them for about 10 days and they been healthy ever since.
Just before they were to lay eggs some type of predator got into the coop and Einstein and Peakala were fine but picky chick he did not make it.
Just after Thanksgiving when they were six months old we found our first egg after many days of clucking.  We do believe Einstein was the first but they now produce two eggs every other day.
Every day we let them out of the coop and they free range and do pest-control in the garden they are just at the delight.  They will even follow you back to the coop just like chicken on the run.
