    How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

    I got 18 eggs from 10 hens in two days. Ever since I put a four bulb grow light in coop, they have really started producing. I feed southern states crumble, pellet and cracked corn. They free range daily.

    has anyone seen a chicken fill up with air like a balloon, alive?

    Thank you yeah that makes perfect sense, he is only like eight weeks old, I did notice he had no feeling in the skin when I punctured it. I used a 16 gauge sterile needle. He is a lot better now

    Update: he is doing a lot better I poked him with needle everyday for a week and seems better, I just found it strange that it was immediately after a dog attack where 2 injured one dead.

    The She-rooster

    I have a rooster named Saul, he is the size of a dove with the cockiness of a bull. If I pick him up he dozes off then when I put him down he does the pu pu pu pawaw and acts tough.
