Chuck Murray commented on Jocelyn Kirkwood's group Chicken keepers"Michaela,
I don't think you need to do anything. We've had hens with all kinds of feet problems, even one we almost had to amputate a toe, if indeed they are called toes. Just keep an eye on her. Keep in mind they often get frostbitten…"
Chuck Murray commented on Jocelyn Kirkwood's group Chicken keepers"Dan,
They don't need natural light when they are chicks. On average, expect one egg per chicken every day and a half. They do require 14 hours of daylight to lay and will naturally slow down egg production in the winter. Keeping chicks out of…"

Victoria Werner said… Hi! I appreciate you contacting me. I am proud to be pursuing my own farm enterprise way out here in Montana. For the foreseeable future, I won't be looking for farm work in Ohio. I can't say I won't be back though, since my family still lives in the Oberlin area. I hope we can be in touch--it looks like great things are happening at Murray Hill Farm! Thanks again.
