    Are they done laying?

    Looking for a way to determine when a hen is done laying. I have heard that you can examine the vent. Does any one have any info on this? Or should i just replace after a certain amount of time? Some of my birds are over 2 years old.

    Is my crockpot big enough?

    Chase him back and show him whos boss. If that does not work then dinner it is! You can always freeze half for later if your pot is not big enough.

    Mixing Breeds ?

    I am going to get some Cayuga ducks. Can i keep other breeds with them such as Runner ducks ect? Would that be a problem? Does anybody know ? I bought a couple of duck books but they dont have the answer.

    When do hens stop laying

    I have 10 hens that are producing 8-10 eggs a day . they are 10 months old. When should i expect them to stop laying or slow down ? And when should i introduce new birds to the flock to continue with the same amount of production? These are our first chickens and whole family are into it.

    OK to put compost bin into the chicken run?

    The only problem i see is thst the birds will most likely eat most of what goes into the bin. Not a bad thing at all.

    feeding chickens egg shells

    Is there anything wrong with breaking up the egg shells and feeding them back to the birds mixed with the other greens and table scraps they are getting? Some one said that once they get a taste for this they will start pecking the eggs open.
