I want to use this on my small flock of chickens. Will I still be able to eat their eggs?

As far as I've seen they don't eat it or even bathe in it so we've eaten the eggs without problem. I'd be more concerned if it were something they ingested like worming meds.

I doubt it. They are not that strong. That explains the low price. You should really invest in poultry sheers if you plan on using it a lot.

I wouldn't recommend it be used for chicken. The acsess to the lower level is narrow and might be difficult for them to use. However, if your not looking to use both levels then the top half could be suitable for egg laying.

Yes. Make sure you do not put in a whole large breast and that the chunks of chicken you put in are not too big.

Yes, but you have to lean really big eggs a little bit. If they are straight up and down they will be touching the lid and will crack when you close he wings.

I think so. The instructions include information on using the model for parrots. The largest size egg it can take is a duck egg that's slightly larger than a chicken, but if I recall correctly, a conure egg would be significantly smaller.

I received live lady bugs. I've never noticed their eggs on anything so I can't answer your question. This question is best directed to the Orcon LBC1500 producer.

Maybe, if your hens are smart enough. My 6 girls never figured it out. The kids gave them "lessons" repeatedly. We dripped it into a pan, they drank out of the pan. we bumped their beaks to the nipple, and they resisted. We tried teaching the smartest hen first. She didn't learn either. My hens run around outside, too. That could be the problem.

Sorry, didn't keep it, didn't work out well for my flock, not sure. Hope you get your answer.

Sorry but I ordered these to feed my chickens as a treat. They are about an inch long. I don't know if they were treated with anything

Quakers are bigger than my cockatiels, but this has seeds in it that all birds can eat-- millet is the smallest seed in it . After some reasearch, apparently most birds can even eat grain as small as amaranth-- so I would think your birds could eat this too. Safflower seeds are better than sunflower for most house raised birds, which is why I chose this for my tiels... These seeds work well for sprouting too & that is also good for all birds. Good luck!

No you cannot. The recommended maximum oil level is not high enough to cover a whole small chicken.

I have 3 bantams and it is too small along with an attached running pen. I wouldn't keep more than 2 small grown chickens. They also don't use the roost that is provided and sleep in the tray or nests upstairs. My hens should be laying next month...it will be interesting if they use the nests for laying eggs. The pen is not designed to be moved or relocated...I've had mine a few months and it is starting to crack and the end door has been replaced with longer screws several times! The coop is made of light material and won't last very long especially if you relocate your birds to new grasses. Also, the nests are getting loose with no use!! From one grandma to another, you get quality with what you pay. I have 3 bantams and it is too small along with an attached running pen. I wouldn't keep more than 2 small grown chickens.

I'd say yes. I've had this coop for about 6 months. It works well for my 4 hens. That said, there are a few things I don't like about this coop. The run is small. I don't have the heart to confine my hens in it during the day and I've been letting them free range which puts them at risk from predators. This spring I'll be building a larger run for them t be safer and still comfortable. The coop also is a risk for determined predators like raccoons. There is no lock on the nesting box. Lastly, I had to modify the height of the roosting poles as they were lower than the nesting box. Hens will naturally roost on the highest possible spot within the coop. So my hens would roost in the nesting box and poop in it all night. I raised the poles and it's been fine since. Hope this was helpful.

I don't know... I returned this product and bought one that was actually for chickens...

No. It is too small. Maybe a Cornish hen, but a whole chicken would overflow the oil.

This would be too small for a large chicken for very long. I use it for silkies with chicks, or chicks that dont need a hen anymore.
