    When do Wyandottes generally start laying?

    Try to gentry stroke her spine, maybe give her a little feather tossle, until she decides to shake your attention off. I’ve been told this stimulates their laying hormones. When they mate with their rooster this squatting pose is ‘the position’. I don’t have a rooster, so I haven’t witnessed...

    Tattered Tail as something more serious?

    This is my 2.5 year old Leghorn aka "Minnie Pearl' Lately she's been not so well groomed, maybe a little skinnier than usual and her tail is very shredded as of the last two weeks. She seems spirited enough, and flighty as usual. She's eating and drinking fine. She is part of a mixed flock of...

    I know you originally suggested a week for this protocol. She's been on this regime for a week and a half with no change. Do you think I should continue unitl I do see a change?

    HELP: How do I create friendly chickens??

    Hi Korpse- Some breeds are more naturally flighty, but I sat with them for stretches everyday- sometimes twice a day and I know they recognize and anticipate it now, when I can.

    How to Keep Chickens Cool in Upcoming Heat Wave?
