    Quote: Thanks. Sorry that I could not make it. I still have the Cuckoo Maran and Brabanter hens. Please let me know if you're still interested and we can work out how to get them to you. We are. We took in two welsummer pullets and need to integrate them with the two older girls. So far, so...

    What is your favorite breed of quiet calm hen?

    We have four golden comets. They reliably come when called and aren't big squakers. The Cukoo on the other hand...

    Do you know people grossed out by fresh eggs?

    My 38 y.o. sister won't touch our eggs! But, she has no idea where the eggs she buys in the store comes from. I know how my chickens, live, eat.... She's such a germaphobe, yet she won't eat my grls' eggs. Weird.

    Four golden comets, a welsummer and cukoo marin. Help!

    The comets appear to be laying eggs with very fragile shells. (Almost translucent) They are just over a year old. We have crushed shells for calcium and use Agway's layer feed. When the deformed eggs are laid, they are quickly eaten by the rest. Any suggestions?

    YOGURT FOR CHICKENS ?

    On a hot summer day the girls like nothing more than some cold plain yogurt! It's winter here and I'm on to warm oatmeal and scratch.

    Hanging Cabbage?

    Ditto. Got a 1/4 "J" screw and screwed it into the core (bottom) of the cabbage and ran twine up to another "J" screw in the ceiling of the coop. No bad egg smells for me.

    I love not throwing anything away

    Well. I'm not into violence but I had to justify our six girls. I just got our hens about two months ago. Cast offs from a friend who had too many hens in the hen house. I can't tell you how much fun they are and save us $4.00 a week in 'good' eggs from the local market. I tend to spend...

    Had a Yogurt Storm, need container ideas...

    I have six - year olds and they LUV yogurt. I'll sit on the stoop to the coop and I must tell you that it splatters all over...including all over me. But it so much fun to see their actions.

    Are Kousa Dogwood Berries OK for my Hens?

    I'm relatively new to chicken raising and I am have a great time with the girls. We have six and each one has it's own personality and place in the coop. I've not been able to find a definitative answer to the question of dogwood berries being ok to eat? They ripen to a dark red in the next...
