Naughty Chickens!

We have had three successful nights in a row of the girls going into their coop and going to bed where they are supposed to.  However, one naughty chicken has decided that its a great idea to lay her eggs under the ramp.  I put a log under the ramp so whoever it is can't nestle down under there, so we'll se if it stops the next couple of days.

I've read that feeding the girls pumpkin can help prevent worms, so here's a picture of the babes eating some canned pumpkin.

  1. Great coop! Do you feed diatomaceous earth?

  2. We do. It's mixed in with their feed. I mix DE in the nest boxes and sprinkle it around their enclosure too.
