I'm think some of my bantams are layin somewhere other than the coops, so last night I moved em all into the Bantam Tractor. Sally Sue has 9 girls now, he should be one happy lil rooster!

As you all know my girls are not layin good for me, so a friend suggested I add Cayenne pepper to their feed, so I had a 12 oz. container of dried hot peppers we grew and dumped the whole thing in their fed container (not this little container) and mixed it all in. I've also mixed in some scratch and sunflower seeds... lets see if all this is gonna help.
Shes got the right idea, lol
your girls are very pretty and sally sue is handsome : )
ReplyDeleteThank You Periwinkle Farm.
ReplyDeleteWhat a good lookin group. I wonder why the cayenne makes them lay eggs. I will be watching to see what happens.
ReplyDeleteThank You Becky. She told me it raises their body temperature and helps them lay? I have know idea, but at this point I'll try just about anything to get them layin better, lol. I've got 40 girls and collected 4 eggs in the past 2 days.
ReplyDeleteInteresting about the cayenne..I've heard that it will eleiminate parasites if they have any. Let us know if it helps egg production though.
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed that you get lots of eggs ;)
Such a nice group of sickens you've got there! It really stinks when you've got that many hens and no eggs. I've been there!
ReplyDeleteThank You Goodwife & yes it is. I moved around some roosters last night, there was too many in my big coop, so maybe that will help with the girls layin too. I'm tryin everything here, lol
ReplyDeleteI don't know much about chickens, but I did love your photos!

Thank You Floweringmama. This spring makes 2 years since I got my 1st chickens and I learn something new all them time about them :)
ReplyDeleteI had a flock when we first got married that I fed for 2 YEARS with no eggs! When sold that farm and moved, my mom took those chickens and they started laying right away. Maybe you should take them on a car ride........LOL!!
ReplyDeleteOooo Goodwife... Thats awful and funny at the same time! lol. I have got 2 bantam eggs today from 2 of these girls... workin on that blog, comin soon. I'll check for more eggs after dinner.
