    Chickens and Bees?

    I wouldn't think my chickens could eat enough bees to make a difference. I have two acres of land, but the ideal site (direct sun and wind protection) for the bees is near the chickens.

    Chickens and Bees?

    I am wanting to start a couple hives of bees in the spring. I would like to put the bees near the chicken yard. Are there any issues I should be aware of?

    First-time layer, 3 eggs in less than 24 hrs...normal?

    One of my hens laid her first 3 eggs in a 4 day span, but hasn't laid another since last Thursday. Should I be concerned?

    Thanks for the answers. I was afraid I was going to have to waste 50 lbs of feed!

    Is this right about medicated feed? layer question

    How soon is it safe to start chickens on a layer diet? I have mixed ages. 18 wks and 9 wks. I have been told that extra calcium in layer feed may not be good for the younger hens. What to do?!
