    telling 3 mos old Wellsummer pullets from cockerels

    EMERGENCY!! HAWK ATTACK!! **update pg. 3**

    Two of my friends have had chickens with very bad injuries, one from a dog attack & the other from a racoon. I wish we had taken pictures, but let me assure you the open wounds were as big as a fist. Our local cat & dog vet suggested Ben Gay hemorrhoid creme for the wounds. That stuff is like...

    how much do you charge for your eggs?

    I sell my free range eggs for $4.00 a dozen. The local groceries get $4.00 a dozen for Cage Free, which are not free range. My 13 hens have access to layer pellets all day & come & go as they please on about 2 acres. We have an organic market that sells them for us on the weekend & they sell...
