    Transitioning from roofed to roofless run

    we used hardware cloth (wire) for ours and it works a treat. the girls run inside when it’s too much weather wise, but their coop is an old horse stall in the barn. you can always get a piece of sheet metal or a piece of corrugated plastic and stick over one section of it just when the weather...

    What chicken breeds are most likely to go broody?

    I have two Ameraucanas that aren’t even six months old. They started laying a two weeks ago. A week in and they’re so broody they lay on everybody else’s eggs until I steal them. Then they squawk at me like I morally betrayed them, hop out of the nests, and go run around the yard like it never...

    Premature egg?

    That’s what I was thinking, because she did it in the poop tray earlier than she normally lays, and there was a big ol’ hunk of poop right next to it lol Yes, they’re on layer feed and I have treats for them with oyster shells. They also live baby spinach, which is full of calcium. I’m in the...

    Premature egg?

    This morning I went to let the girls out and I found an egg in the poop tray under the perch. The shell is so thin it looks almost more like tinted membrane. Right next to a fat piece of poop. The hen who did this is fairly new to laying. Is it a thing where they think they have to poop and they...

    Good to know! I’m learning the goofier the behavior, the more normal it is for a chicken

    Ameraucana Drama Queens

    Hi all! My Silver Lace Wyandotte was the first to start laying a couple weeks ago. She goes in the box, does her thing, maybe sings the egg song, maybe not. No big deal. My Ameraucanas do the I-gotta-lay-right-now screech for what seems to be hours. Miley started laying with my SLW and her...

    Hi all! I'm excited to be a part of this group! Here are my responses to the newbie questions... (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? I am soooo green! I got my chicks in early March. I wanted the eggs. I didn't know I'd get so dang attached. (2) How many chickens do...
