1-4-13 My hens haven't laid for 2 months. I have a variety of hens from White Leghorns, Production Reds, Rhoide Island Reds, and domineckers. Today 2 of my white girls laid.Maybe things are turning around. They all got mash and fresh hay tonight.
Hi, My 6 White leghorn hens started laying small eggs at about 24 weeks. They are jumbo now 4 months later, with beautiful yellow orange yolks. I am now waiting for my Rir's to lay, to compare.
My White Leghorn hens have stopped laying in their own coop, and are now laying in the RIR's coop. We had separated the RIR's
until they were old enough to integrate. After we opened the door between the coops, the white girls have claimed it!!! Making a nest of woodchips, instead of their...
Hey Yall! My PaPa played a fiddle. He was very good, and on holidays he would play for us. One Christmas when I was a teenager, My Dad bought PaPa a new bow for his fiddle. Shortly after he opened the present, he grabbed his fiddle and announced he was gonna entertain us with Fraulein. He put...
Hey Yall, The gate has been open between the RIR's and the Leghorns for 2 weeks. They mix and mingle, but they always go back to their own pad. The RIRs are afraid of the Leghorns. They must have traumatized them through the fence. Do you think they'll get better?
Walked to the coop with DH this evening. My heart was pounding, but I made it. My RIR's have really grown from 10-12 weeks. They are as big as my leghorns. Pretty tired now. Take Care Yall.

Hey yall, I haven't posted in 2 weeks. Some Alien took over my body and mind and I couldn't function. Hubby took good care of the chickens, and me. Poor thing used all his sick time taking care of me. Now I need to get my strength back. It hurts to load the dishwasher. Took me 3 hours off...
Since yesterday, the gate between the White Leghorn Girls and the 11 week RIR's has been open. No major problems besides the hens being a little bossy. I wound up with 4 roos and 4 hens, plus an EE that I just am not sure about. We are gonna keep 1 roo, give 1 to DH's friend, and try to give...
Hey Yall,
When my husband is at work, I fasten the screen door, and deadbolt the big door. My dogs are small, MiniDachshund, and chiweenie. However, they are very keen on the noises around here, and are very LOUD. Chiweenie will bite in a minute. I figure with the noise of the screen door...
I've seen it too! Give Red Man chewing tobacco to pigs, goats, horses. My Dad and Papa did it. Papa chewed Cannonball plug, it was real stout! Made me sick as a dog when I was about 8.
