I have 12 hens and I am getting only 2-3 eggs per week! All are about 1 year old. any clues? They are being fed a special layer mash from the local coop.

I have 9 layer chicks that are roughly 5 weeks old. I noticed tonight that some of them look like their crops are swollen? I did just feed them about a hour before hand so maybe that is what it is, what I thought was strange was that only 4 of the 9 had this issue going on...

I have read a few posts here about people loosing chicks and goslings when they are still young. I have been doing meat chickens for a few years so I buy 25-50 chicks at a time. Prior to the last 2 batchs I generally lost 10-20% of the chicks by the time they got big enough to release with the...

I have 15 chickens, 4 turkeys and 2 geese all living together in one 12x12 coop. Everyone gets along great right now, the turkeys will only be around until Thanksgiving so I am not to concerned about them right now. Everyone free ranges during the day, they just all kinda hangout together...

I have been raising meat birds during the summer for two years now. Last year we let them go for 12 weeks before slaughter they were huge 9-11 lbs. Needless to say when I cooked one up it was like chewing on my truck tire! Made 150lbs of puppy mush for the animal shelter here in town with...

I have a hen who has decided that motherhood is in her near future. She has been sitting on a clutch of eggs now for about 6 days. Question is does keep laying eggs while she is sitting? Never been down this road before.

I have a Orpington Hen, she is about 1 year old and I was just down in the coop checkin on them when I noticed her lying on the floor on her side with her head at a weird angle. I stood her up and she went in circles, I don't know maybe they had an early X-mas party that I was unaware of and...
