Maybe not a true emergency but the first unusual episode for us.
9 month old BO pullet, laid a fine egg today.
Acting sleepy, letting someone pick her up without a fuss (unusual)
diarrhea, not wanting to eat, but yes, drinking water, blinking slowly, movements are slow and a little clumsy.
Any...
These egg shells were cut with a high intensity precision Laser Beam. This gives a very good idea of what can be achieved with a Laser Beam. This gives you an idea what laser surgery performed on one's eye is all about. Incredible wh at can be done with an eggshell and a laser beam...
We haven't bought any corn yet. Also, is 'shelled' the same as 'cracked' that I read about here? Thanks.

All the photos I have seen here show RIR with yellow legs. WE were given a hen and told it was a RIR (and it does look like one) but it has white legs. Thoughts?
Also, she was supposedly laying and hasn't since we brought her home about 2 weeks ago. Thoughts on that one? How can you tell if...
Regardless of political affiliation, this is funny!
BARACK OBAMA: The chicken crossed the road because it was time for a change! The chicken wanted change!

Chickens were outside in their coop...totally frozen for at least 5 minutes. 3 out of 4 sat down eventually but the other stayed standing.
DH thought he heard a hawk in the distance.
Can 3 month old pullets pick up on this 'distant danger'? They are protected anyway.
What else could have been...
We have an owl that's been hanging out in the woods and 'hooting' at night. Tuesday, as I pulled the curtains closed on our window it flew right by me! It was pretty, and huge....pretty huge!
Our chickens are closed in with wire on all sides and latches on the hutch doors.
We didn't hear him...
Well, one of our 10 week old Araucana girls is crowing every morning, 6-7 times.
I know some hens crow (read that here).
I know spurs don't show up til 8-9 months (read that here).
Question 1: Suppose the one crowing IS a male, if others were male, would they want to start crowing at the same...
We had some leftover white rice last night so I gave some to the girls...They LOVED it. It was sticking to my hands a little so I got pecked at. It was only about 1/4 cup for 5 girls.
Since its cheap and easy, is it OK a few times a week? It is on the treat chart. tia
Also, is brown Ok as well?
Mike: I saw all your chickens out in your front yard yesterday.
Patrick: Yes, they heard that men were coming to lay a pavement, and they wanted to see how it was done.

Anyone have a Honda Fit? Dh is thinking about getting one for me. Right now, my beloved 1998 car only gets 17 mpg....but it is dependable and cute!!
Friends in Florida have a Honda Fit (<>35mpg) and they love it...and he is 6'4".
Thanks,
