    Chickens for 10-20 years or more? Pull up a rockin' chair and lay some wisdom on us!

    I don't understand all the hub-bub over hard boiled eggs. I don't recall ever having a problem with it. BOIL them - longer than you think it should take. Then COOL them as fast as possible - cause you can't eat them till you can touch them.... The little buggers will practically squirt...

    OH NOOOOOoooooooooooo! My BCM HEN, I mean pullet did this the other night to my barn cat! We were hanging out in the run (me and the cat) while the girls were finishing up some treats and she came rushing over - stomped her feet several times - wings held just out a little - head down and gave...

    I saw a story in here quite a while back, (I have swiss cheese memory so I've lost all the details), but the jist of it was this hen who had eaten a frog but not completely swallowed it and she was running around with this crazy green 'fu-man-chu' mustache.

    I'd love to hear more about this. Being new to this, I've learned to ask lots of 'dumb questions' and not to assume that I know what people are talking about. When you say feeding whole grains, do you mean exclusively? My girls are 12 weeks old and are pet/layers so I'm not looking for max...
