    No they don't. It's 13 of them and they have a 20x20 area that they're in. I let the free range for a few hours, but the hound dog would have chicken dinner every night of they free ranged all day.

    Nice! It's just weird to me not a single one has laid at all. Wonder how long to let it slide until it becomes a problem

    13 hens not laying

    Hey guys I have 13 hens of various breeds that are cold hardy that have all together stopped laying eggs. I haven't gotten a single egg in 9 days. The hens appear to be healthy. It has gotten colder here in Maryland but I didn't figure they stop completely. Any help to get some eggs coming?

    Processing chickens

    Getting the guts out and knowing what to cut are my biggest problem right now.

    Processing chickens

    So I had my cornish crosses turn 6 weeks today and decided to go on a test run since I've never processed a chicken before, which lead me to a few questions. 1. How the hell do you guys pluck all the feathers out??! Had my water temp at 155, could pull a wing feather out with ease. Couldn't...
