I live in Lockport Il. I had 12 Hens. Yesterday a big Hawk came out of the air and killed my EE. My husband chased it away but not before the hawk killed and
started to eat my girl. I'm afraid to let any of my remaining hens out to free range. So be afraid of whats in the sky as well as...
My Black australorp keeps laying soft shell eggs. She gets layer feed,oyster shell and walks around the yard. She will lay a few good eggs and then she gets goofy again.THe other 3 girls(EE,SW,RS) do a great job!!They are all around 10 months old. Could my "Betty" be sick?
