    A silly thing my chicken did today.

    Hi all, My DD went to collect the eggs today. She took an egg carton hoping for more than the 2 she found. The first egg was in the hay under the nesting boxes. She put down the carton with the first egg and one of the girls came along gave it a little peck and rolled it out of the carton...

    what clues are there to know when a chicken is going to start laying eggs

    The employee at TSC said they were only a few days old. The little dark one, Cutie, was the smallest of the bunch in the bin. When the yellow chicks ran from one side to the other, Cutie would get trampled. She was in with the wrong group for some reason and I just had to rescue her. The...

    what clues are there to know when a chicken is going to start laying eggs

    We got our girls on 3/9, they weren't more than a few days old. Today 2 eggs were found, one in a nesting box and another in the hay by the door. 1 is a production red and the rest are supposed to be RIRs, but 2 seem to light in color and look more like golden comets.

    Medical grade "super glue" for wound closure - any success stories?

    Hi all, My B.O. just cut herself on a piece of fence when a roo tried to mount her. The cut is under her wing right thru the skin so you can see what is under it. Looked like it was over a joint. There wasn't much blood so we cleaned it, poured peroxide over it and let it dry all the while...

    Comment by 'Buffmama' in article 'Keeping a Rooster (A Personal Journey)'

    hatching eggs

    My young 'uns want to hatch an egg from our 6 month old B.O., Flappsy. Is she old enough to produce a viable egg or is she too young yet? If it is possible, can we hatch just one? They are adamant about this and I need the voice of experience in this matter. Thank you for your help. Jodi
