My 9 year old but what has me upset is that he waited until she had her back to him and he came from behind and attacked with both feet. She had gone to the coop and let everyone out, they all filed past as she held the door open, as the last one came out she went to step in the run area and did...

She is my last pullet to lay, she will be 21 weeks tomorrow...at what age can I expect her to start laying?

Today my EE Hawk 'Pecked" me when I took her egg. She has never done that before...(ok it was 9th egg so she has not been laying that long) but...I am assuming that is normal behavior or is she going to go broody on me so quickly? First time chicken owner so lots I do not know.

Is it advised to use or is there a preventitive that I should be using? None of my chickens have issues but I am so new at this and just want to make sure I am doing what I should be doing. Thanks!

This is Cutie Pie, I not sure but believe she is a Red sex link, about 24 weeks old. This is Quick Feet! (named so because the Roo can not catch her to pin her down) She is very interested in what is going on. Congrats on your very first egg Cutie Pie! Quick Feet takes a closer look. Cutie...

My girls and Roo had one big grasshopper they were all fighting over, the Roo winning but then the girls got it and played keep away until all managed to get a piece. It was one amazing free for all to witness.... I did feel a little sorry for the poor grasshopper...

My 3 hens and 1 rooster got scratch since we got them at About 3 weeks old, I was told to start feeding them laying mash a couple of weeks ago, which they did not seem to like much so I mixed a 25 lb bag of scratch and laying mash together and they seem to like that. I also give them veggies...

....first to survive because it was actually layed in nesting box and not on top, therefore avoiding being stepped on.... I am researching best way to store/clean etc said egg and I come across the most 1 sided in believably bias article I have ever read regarding your back yard flock.... I just...

Yay, woke up to 2 eggs this morning, unfortunately they layed them on top of nesting box and not in, both look as though they were stepped on.... Tried to upload pictures but photobucket is not cooperating. Happy egg laying has started!:D

Thanks for the idea to freeze water containers and put in coop, the chicks love them. Their favorite is my recycled tidy cat litter container, lying on its side leaves a wide spot for them to sit and they just sit right on top of the container to cool off.

My hens are about 20 weeks old, I have 1 Cochin, an eater egger and 1 I have no idea what she is...and 1 RIR roo who was stefania but is now stefano... He mounted my EE this evening ( in front of the kids, lots of splaining was done ;) ..... Now I know we don't have to have the roo to get eggs...
