Since we are getting over three dozen eggs per week from our chickens, we are eating a lot more stuffed eggs (deviled eggs), boiled eggs, and other eggy foods. One thing that we have been noticing is that peeling a boiled egg from the store and peeling a boiled egg from the farm are two...

For supper one night, I ate two boiled eggs from our RIR's and a tuna salad sandwich. To my suprise, when I sliced open my egg, it was a double yoke! I never would have thought that the average-sized egg had two yokes in it, but in fact it did! Yay!!

One of my buff hens is acting strange: laying down and breathing hard with her mouth open. She moves slow-like and seems distant from the flock. Could this be the symptoms of a disease or could it just be something minor like a belly ache? This is a video of my chicken that day. However, when I...

We have a spotlight in both of our runs, both of which are turned on day and night. The light in our RIR pen is inside thier building, which is where they lay eggs. Should I continue to leave the lights on 24/7 or should I buy a light with a timer on it that will turn off during the day? Does...

Here's a shoutout from Georgia to all of those in Massachusetts, New York, Maine, Vermont, Rhode Island, New Jersey, Connecticut, New Hampshire, and other states and places hit by this blizard. Our prayers are with you as we send warmth from our hearts to yours.

Our Rhode Island pullets are maturing so soon; now two of the six hens are laying two to three eggs a day. Our largest egg so far: ...and a carton full of the beautiful eggs laid by our Rhode Islands:

I hear people use the term "roller" when they are talking about thier incubating eggs. What does this mean? For instance "...two eggs are rollers..." ?

For the first time since we got our Rhode Island Red chickens, the roo, George, flogged me three times today. I think because the flock is so scittish, I scared them some how. George has also been mounting the hens and running them a lot lately. If he keeps this behavior up, he might hurt one of...

Today, I saw a small yoke in my chicken's stool. Is this normal? My chickens are only about 6.5 months old and are just begining to lay. The stool was a cream color and there was no shell in the stool that I could see.

Yay! :) These two light-brown, speckled eggs were a suprise from my brother's 6.5 month-old Rhode Island Reds. I can't wait 'til my buffs start laying! Here's to a sucessful egg-laying life for both flocks!

Today, our area has been drenched in rain sheets all day. Thankfully, the more severe weather and tornados went around us. Now, my chickens will be drying out tommorrow as the storm passes by and my run will need to be cleaned.

Since I give my chikens a variety of foods, I was just wondering which foods I should not allow my chickens to eat.

I have eight buff orpingtons, two of which are roosters. The chickens are all about three months old and are not laying yet. I hear that buffs are great chickens and will become beautiful as they grow older. However, I have also heard stories about whole flocks of buffs that have stopped laying...

What is the difference between having a red light in my coop or a white light? My chicken are about two to three months old and we keep a light on them day and night to give them extra warmth. I was just wondering what the difference in having a red light in my coop or a white light is.

I was looking at pictures of the Plymoth Rock breed and the Barred Rock breed and they both look the same. I was just wondering what the difference was between the two breeds or if they are the same breed.

Some people have told me that I need to put small rocks or pebbles in my run. They say that the pebbles are helpful in the chickens' digestive system. Should I put some pebbles in my run?

I have recently aquired eight brown buff orpington chickens, two of which are roosters (we are going to eat one of them) and the remaining six are hens, so we think. I say this because the young chickens are only two to three months old. They are not laying yet and have not begun to lay but...
