How do I get my chicken(s) to stop pecking the eggs they lay?

I had that happen with one of my cornish rock crosses. I brought it in the house and kept it warm, but it died anyway. What happened to it was that it had a heart attack. This breed will eat itself sick.

The Day I have been waiting for has arrived, I got my first egg and I'm so eggcited. Now I will be anxiously waiting for more.

We bought a book called Basic Butchering of Livestock and Game when we started hunting. It contains great advice on how to butcher chickens. We tried it this year and it worked great. My boyfriend who used to butcher chickens when he was younger was amazed at how easy it was. It explains...

She has been doing it for about a week now. Also, tonight when I went into the chicken yard to shut them in the coop, another Buff was doing the same thing, just not in front of the gate.

I don't have a place to free range my chickens, but I had Cornish Rock Cross broilers for the first time and never again. They are very labor intensive as you need to take their food away for 12 hours and let them feed for 12 hours. They do not forage, they just sit in front of the feeders and...

Hi all, I have had my chickens since March 15,2012 when they were day old chicks. They are growing nicely. I have one chicken(a Buff Orpington) that will not get out of the way when I go through the gate into the chicken yard. She moves her wings out and flattens her body close to the ground...

I live in Custer, SD and would like to chat with other chicken people from West River.

Hi all, I have been a first time mother hen since March 15, 2012. I have 6 barred Roack, 10 Buff Orpingtons and 1 Aricauna. I got them as day old chicks. They sure are teaching me a lot. I look forward to talking chicken with everyone.
