She has been broody for 3 weeks now. I keep taking her out of the nest, which has no eggs and putting her outside to exercise and eat. She eats and then runs back to her nest. How much longer will she be this way? I feel so sorry for her. She is just 26 weeks old.
She is the only one out of the 23 hens that I have that has this yellow bump in between her toes...and just on one foot. I was wondering if anyone knew what it could be. She is only 8 months old.
I added new hens in with my older hens and there was some hen pecking but all is well now. They were very close to the same size before i put them together..and i sat out in the run and watched them for a couple of hours. The problem is that the rooster runs off the 9 new girls and tries to...
Which brown egg laying hen lays the largest egg? I want to buy some laying
hens this spring and wanted to know which ones to go with. I'm looking for jumbo eggs! Thanks
Would you get rid of you rooster if he was a suprise attack breeder. He is a SLW and he has 13 hens to himself. He just grabs them by their heads real rough. He has torn some combs, come pretty close to their eyes and is just plain rough. He is wonderful other than that. Is that just normal...
I found this under the roost today. It looks like a large green grape...very very soft. I have an EE that layed any egg for about a month and then stopped laying eggs for the last 3 weeks, so i thought it might be from her since it is light olive green in color. She always layed her eggs in...
I have lost weight before on weight watchers and just wanted to see if anyone else was on weight watchers right now? I never went to the meetings or anything, i just got the books and went from there.
I just cant seem to get back on the wagon. Each day i say...tomorrow i am getting back on...
I have some heavy breeds and didnt know if the 4 and 5 ft roost were to high. Some of them hop up and down the roost 2 X 4's to get to the top and others fly down. They all seem to want to be as high as possible.
She started laying at 18 weeks old, almost gave an egg a day for 3 weeks and now nothing for almost a month. She eats, drinks, runs and plays. None of the other new girls have stopped laying. Is this just something that happens sometimes?
Did anyone hear about the lady that could get enough coupons to have a $0 balance at the grocery store each week?
I wanted to know where i could get all of those coupons. Maybe there is a website that you can print out coupons. Anyone know ?
To bad there isnt a big fat gas coupon!
A man had white rock and RIR mix which i think are called amber stars and he said they wont breed true. What does that mean. Not the same color? Cant lay eggs? Not fertile? Here are the eggs from that cross. He said the cream colored ones are from the older hens and they lay specked and...
I had no idea that my black aussie would lay such a dark egg. I seen her in the nest box this morning so i took my little seat cushion down off of the wall and sat down on it and watched her, about 20 minutes later i watched her lay the dark egg! The other 2 browns were from my RIR's this...
I have 20 hens now..do i need more? This chicken thing is an addiction!!! I now see chickens or even speckled eggs that i want in my egg basket. Is that reason enough to buy an incubator? I am really riding the fence on this one. I keep eyeballing the Hova Bator 1588 with auto egg turner...
