    How to tell which hens are laying

    I have several new hens who just started laying. I know because there has been an uptick in egg production lately. I'm usually at work when the girls are laying, so I can't see which ones. Are there other signs that I can look for to tell which girls are producing besides seeing them on the nest?

    Laying Eggs While Sleeping-help

    My nests are easy access. She is my oldest hen, the others are still too young to lay. I started over with a new flock after a raccoon destroyed my whole flock last year. So, she has no older examples. I will try the golf ball trick, thanks!

    Laying Eggs While Sleeping-help

    I have a chicken that has just started laying. She has laid 3 eggs so far, but all while perched on the roost and sleeping. The eggs hit the coop floor and splatter in the poop below the roost. Any tips on getting her to stop laying eggs during bedtime? Is this something that she will grow...

    Partridge Rock Thread

    I'm brand new to Partridge Rocks and have a new pullet chick. I'm really happy with the coloring that she is feathering out in-caramel on her head and brown on her body with distinct dark penciling. Very pretty. [/IMG]I have seen some darker colored PRs in pics online. My question is, is her...

    Chicken Breed Focus - Faverolles

    I love my Faverolles. I think they are a very quirky, strange chicken, but they are so sweet. Faverolles waddle when they walk due to their fluffy feathers and fifth toe. They are very docile chickens. They have feathered legs, a beard, and muffs. My Fav, Babs, went broody occasionally and...

    Anyone Ordered from a Hatchery?

    I lucked out and got a really pretty Salmon Faverolle pullet from Meyer (ordered through MyPetChicken). I ordered a Faverolle from another hatchery and her coloring is a little off, but is still a sweet bird. Mine are backyard chickens for eggs and for pets, so breed standards don't matter as...

    Production Red Pullet in East TN

    I placed an order for chicks this spring, so I have more chickens than I need right now. I have a production red pullet for $10. She is beginning to crouch and is 18 weeks old, so should be laying very soon. I will not mail her, but you can pick her up in the Knoxville, TN area.

    Chicken TV

    I call it "Chicken TV." They are entertaining to watch. They have their own little soap opera playing out in my back yard. I love their personalities just as much as I love getting eggs.

    Review by '' on item 'Happy Hen Treats Mealworm Frenzy'

    My chickens loved these mealworm treats. If you want to teach your chickens to come to you, this is the best motivation. My chickens will come for this over fresh greens and veggie scraps.

    Aspen Bedding for Coop?

    I usually use pine chips as litter inside my coop, but the store was out of the big bags of pine. I have heard never to buy cedar due to causing respiratory problems, so I bought Aspen chips. Is Aspen safe to use with chickens?
