    H5N1/HPAI on the rise

    Here in Utah we have had 7 reported cases of H5N1 in back yard flocks. At first the state vet had the owners cull the entire flock, but now if only one or two hens have symptoms they would test and if positive only cull the infected birds.

    4 year olds not laying anymore

    We keep a 40W equiv LED on all day and night. We don't have a timer on it. We probably should though.

    Yep, my wife and I are on polar ends. I am OK with eating animals we raised especially vs, chickens that were raised in cages. Thanks for your comments!

    4 year olds not laying anymore

    We live on the 40th parallel at 5,000 ft. We keep a light in the coop. My kids and wife are really sensitive and will keep them as pets I suppose. But we will see what happens in March. If they don't pick up then we may keep them in a different coop/run. Thanks so much for your thoughts...

    What do I do with the hens that haven't laid eggs for months... none through the summer and nothing today. I know for sure my White Leghorn is not laying, she is the only one I have in my flock of 18. We are only averaging 7 eggs a day for the past year. Does that mean that half my hens are...
