    Placing Baby Chicks with Hen!

    So this is more of a general comment, I'm not really asking a question or anything like that. I have been replacing my flock over the past couple of months, we had a horrible winter, we lost nearly 30 hens do to a raccoon, and my coop became dilapidated. So, long story short, we're rebuilding...

    Chicken with diaRhea.....

    I'm not sure if she's done it all day or if it's an isolated incident...I work...so I don't see them all day...she seems fine though other than water for poop!

    Chicken with diaRhea.....

    One of my bcm's was standing near me today and decided to relieve herself and basically it was just water that came out...should I be concerned? My girls have plenty of water and they get plenty of laying pellets so, I don't think she'll get dehydrated or starve but...I was wondering if this is...

    My Marans eggs...

    That's awesome for the double yolkers...I got two of them the other day myself...1 from one of my bcm's and 1 from one of my rsl's...it wasn't expected either as all my chickens are still pullets...

    My Marans eggs...

    Yeah kinda...it is tougher than the rest of the white...but also much thicker and takes longer to cook...it's kinda strange but tastes the same as the others...

    My Marans eggs...

    Funny chicken behavior...

    So I'm sitting there just watching my chickens this morning and one of my red sex links is walking over toward the coop when she starts squatting down while she's walking and then "poof" out plops an egg on the ground! She then proceeds to the nesting box and acts as though she's going to lay...
