He may be hungry but he won’t get our chickens!

Every 3 years we restring the yard so our chickens are safe from owls and hawks! Our chickens are stress free and don’t even run when a shadow is flying above them . We have never lost a chicken since 2011 since when we have put this up. And the cost is minimal. It takes us 2 days using 2...

I have 30 hens, no rooster. we started noticing egg production going down, then noticed eggs cracked open and the yolk is being eaten. we can’t figure out what hen (s) are doing this! We are lucky to get one egg a day. any suggestions on how to figure out who is doing this!

I have had my chickens for 9 years, we have never lost any due to overhead threats. Hawks owls etc. we use fishing line above our free range and coop area. In this picture with the ice you can really see the fishing line, and the ice is so heavy it is really low, but once the ice is melted the...

i went to hard boil an egg and this came out! It's off white. And like a long ribbon. Usually if I'm boiling and there is a crack some white will protrude out but this looks like a flat worm or something, anyone have a clue? Or is it nothing. Thanks

We had 10 hens in a coop.(a coop that holds 25 hens). We got 15 more chicks this past May. We had a second smaller coop that the baby chicks went into and they both share a run. Now that it's getting cold I need for some of the chicks who are now much bigger and laying to go to the larger coop...

We have 12 hens and we're getting 4-6 eggs per day. We were at an auction and got one of those bug zappers for $5. Took it home and plug it in at night. In the morning the chickens come out of their coop and run like mad to the bug zapper where their is a feast each morning. Since then we get a...

Why does my rooster make the same noise that my hens make while laying? When he hears them it gets him going!

I have been cleaning my eggs with the store bought egg solution, is there a CHEAPER product I can use? Maybe dish soap? This $9.00 a bottle is crazy high!! WHAT IS EVERYONE ELSE USING???

My chickens used to go into their coop at dusk, all I would have to do is shut their door for the night. Now almost all of them, will go in from free ranging BUT they just go into the run and roost there but not the coop, so I have to pick them all up and put them in. WHAT HAPPENED?

I have 13 hens, well today is their 5 month old celebration. They are getting moody and starting to fight, as in grab necks and scream bloody murder. One is just walking around making loud noises I have never heard. No one wants to share the scraps I bring out. Are they about to lay for the...

I have two chickens that look alike EXCEPT ONE THING. One is a Buttercup and has the double comb BUT the other has a FLAT comb. What breed is it if any one knows. Thanks
