    6 Hens, Coop, Kennel/Run- South Carolina

    I have come to the difficult decision that I must let my girls and their home go. I have 6 hens, all about 8 mo. old. There are 2 Golden Sex-Link, 1 Rhode Island Red, 1 Brown Leghorn, and 2 Buttercups. 5 were laying until about a month ago when several started molting; now 2 have started back so...

    My Boss Hen Sally Found Dead This Morning!

    What a shock, right? I first called out, "Sally? What are you doing, crazy bird?" Then it immediately struck me that she wasn't moving at all. Such a pity!

    My Boss Hen Sally Found Dead This Morning!

    My 6 mo old "boss hen" Barred Rock, Sally, was face down and unmoving when I went to the coop this morning. She had shwon no sign of being sick the days before, and there was no evidence of a predator that I could see. Does this happen often, and what could be some of the possible causes?

    Using Deer Netting To Keep Snakes Out Of Run & Coop

    A couple of my hens have just started laying eggs (as of Sunday! Whoo hoo!) & today my husband went to check on them around noon and found a 5ft black snake in the coop eating the sole egg. I saw an older post on this website about using deer netting to keep snakes out but I couldn't get a clear...

    Finally! Eggs!

    It's nice everyone is ALMOST as excited as I was! Today there was only one egg and one egg SHELL--guess one got broken somehow. After waiting over 5 months it's SOOOOO rewarding to see those gorgeous ovals lying there waiting to be picked up.

    Finally! Eggs!

    Yesterday I went to check on my hens around 4pm and lo and behold there were two beautiful, perfect, pink/tan eggs inside the coop! They weren't in the nest box; they had simply made themselves a nice depression in the wood shavings. I'm not sure which hens laid--three of them I know for sure...

    Gentlemanly 4 Mo. Rir Rooster Needs Home!

    My lot of 10 chicks ended up containing several roosters, and the last one I have is this gorgeous 4 mo old RIR gentleman. He hasn't started crowing yet (late bloomer?); he's a sweet tempered guy, not aggressive. I'll post a photo of him later, I'm posting this while at work. I live in Anderson...
