Now I'm missing a chicken. I heard what I thought was the egg song, so I waited a while then went out to get my egg, and there was no egg. Two of my chickens haven't been laying so I thought she must be hiding the eggs somewhere. I went looking for the chicken to find where they are hiding the...
Have you worked with a professional dog trainer to train the dog appropriate behavior around chickens? Any dog can be trained. You just have to put effort into it.
I had another perfect day. Three chickens, three eggs. Peep taught Nibbles to lay her egg on the patio and not in the coop. Not happy about that, as Nibbles WAS laying in the coop. Also today Peep's egg had a small whole in the shell, but not the egg itself. I didn't know if it would still be...
I am convinced it has NOTHING to do with hormones or being a new layer. She just likes to see how long she has to make a racket before I come outside. I think a name change might be in order.
One of my pullets keeps singing the egg song. She has done it off and on all morning! I go out to find my egg and there isn't one. She laid her first egg last Friday evening and her second egg last Saturday evening but it was soft shelled. I don't think she has laid one since. I told her she is...
Only two eggs today. Yesterday I found one soft shelled egg on the patio. I don't know if she laid another egg today and I can't find it, or if she didn't lay. Oh well, I'll take two good eggs over no eggs any day! :)
I think it is lovely that you did that with your egg. I don't think it would have even crossed my mind to do something like that. Maybe I'll think of something cool to do.
Thanks so much! That is really cool. I am a sentimental person, so part of me would like to do something, but my mom is a hoarder and I'm always afraid I will become one. I've learned to let things go. I mean I don't want to be on tv one day saying it all started with an egg. So for my own...
Thanks! I'm really excited! In fact I was so excited I gave her a great, big, hug! I don't think she was as excited about the hug as I was about the egg. I don't know what I'll do with it. Probably eat it. Is there something special you're suppose to do with the first egg?
