I haven't put a light in their coop since 2013 but I'm seriously considering it again.

10 chickens...7 days...2 eggs total...Annoying as hell. Winter is hitting my girls very hard apparently.

I only feed my chickens organic feed and I normally purchase it at Fluegal's in Rosemount but I found the EXACT same organic feed at Windmill Feed in Elko New Market for $6 cheaper per bag. It's not as convenient at Rosemount so when I need feed I will purchase multiple bags at a time...

Mine never showed any signs of discomfort and I had two that had frostbite on their crown this past winter. The weird thing is that both of my new RIR's (they were hatched this past March) have developed something that mimics frostbite. Several of the "points" - sorry, not sure what they are...

Greetings! A few years back, we built two compost bins using pallets and the bins are back in the chicken yard. For whatever reason, Ethel, our RIR, decided yesterday to start laying in the compost bin rather than in the coop like the other 9 girls! Too make matters worse, she lays in the...

You know what they say about soap operas; 'you can catch one episode every two weeks and you'll still know what's going on.' Well, I'm away from this board for a few days (minus a couple of minutes here and there) and everything changes. It's hard to keep up on here. This d*mn job interferes...

Great information. Thank you! I think it's most likely VERY, VERY light brown but next to the other brown eggs it looks white.

Wow. I didn't know it could affect the color of their eggs. Man, I've learned so much from you chicken experts. Glad I found this board!

It's September and the leaves are beginning to change and yet it feels like July.

Imagine my surprise when one of our new brown egg layers laid a white egg. We only have brown layers so I'm assuming whichever hen it was just doesn't have her brown ink cartridge installed correctly.

Like you, my son has three sisters and he's very patient. He also has yet to discover the upside to having three sisters...they have friends. Lots and lots of girl friends. He's big into sports and is an athlete (baseball and football) and a great looking kid so girls certainly notice him but he...

As a father of three girls (and one son), prepare yourself for drama. Lots and lots of drama. Not sure how old your kids are (my daughters are 15 and younger), everything is a MAJOR issue. I know when my daughters (and wife) are in a bad mood, the entire house has to know about it and apparently...

NOW this is a test I can take and actually end up with positive points rather than negative points. It may also get me kicked off this board....

I honestly got -7. I was born and raised in a very small town in southern Kansas where my entire family was and still are farmers - of course the one child of my grandparents who wasn't a farmer just happened to be my parent. Even though my mom chose a non-farming career, I spent my entire...

Dear, God, I'm NEGATIVE 7. I'll be purchasing a condo in downtown Minneapolis very soon.

I have 10 hens (7 of which who are currently or just starting to lay and the other 3 should start any day now)...our coop has four nesting boxes but I'm currently only utilizing two of them. For 10 hens how many nesting boxes should I be using? Should I continue with just the two or open one or...

Oh no, Rhetts! So very sorry for your loss. I wish I could help you but unfortunately I can't. I've learned so much from everyone here so I know someone will have some ideas.

Eggs are $5.00 for a dozen and a half at Cub in Lakeville.

Sorry to hear that, KlopKlop. Hoping she comes home safe after a night of drinking and living it up chicken style!
