A friend gave me 3 hens that had been laying. I've had them for 4 days and not one of them has layed. Does it take awhile for them to get used to their new home?
My girls have been laying regularly since Easter. But now, 1 of them spends all her time in the egg box but she hasn't layed any eggs for 3 days now. Is something wrong with her?
I've been enjoying reading all the posts and I'm really learning a lot:) For example when I got my chicks the lady told me they were "dominiquers". Whch I later learned was dominiques. But I don't know why some chickens are called EE. Can someone tell me what that means?
Hi you all,
I had left over spaghetti and gave some to my two girls this morning - who loved it. But I want to make sure that it's not just "empty calories" before I give them more. What do you think?
My 2 month old chickens were attacked by a racoon the other night. At least we think it was a racoon. The poor chickens' heads were pulled through the wire. So now my "dirty dozen" is down to 7. 3 hens and 4 roosters ( I think ) I'm a new chicken owner so I'm not sure which is which.
Hi everyone
My class of 4th graders have hatched 12 chicks. They are living in my classroom in a cardboard box. I am going to take them home for Thanksgiving to live in my garage for awhile. How long do they have to stay inside?
Thanks,
Terry
