I would have told her that she owes me a new chicken.

Thanks, paid ten bucks and got about a few dozen large eggs out of her before she bit the bullet. Still have two free ones, with the Red star that was roaming the hood, with no one wanting it, still laying about an egg a day. And the Road Island, hopefully starting soon, as her feathers are...

Knowing the normal doc, that would only require a loan of a couple thousand to Git R done. Not worth it for an old ten dollar chicken. She ate'em all, so I don't think I'll be seeing any for a while.

Well, these might have been babies, because there was a bunch of them, and I believe they just finished their dirty work, with the Red Star calling it quits. Just buried her after she quit breathing and locked up tight. Had to have been the frogs, because she was full of vim and vigor before...

Just days after eating the frogs, she stopped laying eggs, didn't eat anything for a week after eating the frogs, then started slowing down, like she was struggling to just walk. This morning I found her laying on her side, picked her up and put her in a box in the slightly warmer garage. She...

About a week ago, one of my Red Stars jumped into a box where my irrigation pumps were and ate several frogs, about the size of a pinky nail. Soon after that she was listless, wouldn't eat for about a week. Finally started eating, but hasn't laid any more eggs since she ate the frogs. Last...

Been looking around for organic layer pellets without soy. Can only find it in a small store about 100 miles away. Tractor supply and one other store in St. Aug. only carry org layer pellets with soy in them, and the protein is only 16 to 17%. Where do I get this "flock raiser' 20% protein...

Ans: 2 old, attacking new chickens, that I was told are about 1 yr. old & getting along with each other, with old getting along with each other. The previous residence had several roosters with owner saying she saw some roosters mating with a chicken and kept it up, even after they had killed...

Just got 2 Road Island reds, that had the tail feathers plucked off. I initially put them together, but they got repeatedly attacked. A little reading said separate them from the old chickens( Red Stars) to keep from being attacked. So, they're in separate yards, divided by chain link. They...

Being a retired beta tester for the DOD, though it might be prudent to let you know that the link to your store is broken. Here's the cut/paste of the page that's produced after hitting the link in the "Store" menu. Warning: mysqli::mysqli(): (HY000/2002): Can't connect to local MySQL server...

Greetings everyone. Just started raising chickens when a run a way red star was moseying around the neighborhood, with no one claiming or wanting it. So, I took it, got a coop from Tractor Supply, and started getting better eggs than Egglands best could come up with. Bought a second one, but...
