    Low egg production?

    I have a flock of 8 now 7..they are 1 year old., great egg layers but 2 days ago one died (don't know why) since then we have only collected 2 eggs...did loosing one upset the pecking order? Is this normal?

    Chickens and snow

    Hey all of you chicken lovers out there! It's about 25 degrees today here in Utah and very snowy about 5 inches deep. This is my first winter with my chickens. Can I let them run around in it or do I keep them in when it's like this?

    What age do I introduce new chicks?

    I have 8, 22 week old chickens. I also have 5, 7 week old chicks. The chicks have been in a screen run next to the older chickens for about 1 month so they can see and get better aquinted and they sleep in the coop in an enclosed box. When can I safely mix them together?

    Keeping hens warm in the winter

    I am thinking about and planning for winter already, I live in Utah it gets quite cold here. I will be running a light to the coop to keep up egg production. I am wondering if 100 watt bulb will also help keep them warm? On those freezing cold night, would it bother the hens to leave the light...
