    Cured my Broody!

    Thanks very much to this site for the great information and helping me cure my broody hen. She had been crazy broody for 2 months and had all of the other hens laying outside the coop, etc. It was a mess. So we finally isolated her in an old hutch for 4 days. It took a few days for her to calm...

    Mealworm farming

    Hi! I am new at this. Started with my first 1000 mealworms from exoticnutrition.com. I have been happier with their quality than a few other places that I had purchased to just feed to the hens. My first 2 "farms' (started 2 months apart) are the plastic sweater type with lock tops and glued...

    Do They Lay Eggs While Roosting or in their Sleep?

    Thanks so much. Now she just disappeared and we searched for 2 hours at 1 pm and found her under a bunch of scrap metal behind a shed looking very much comfy in a nest of pine needles. She is there NOW! She is the new layer. Should I grab her and egg if there is one and lock her in coop with...

    Do They Lay Eggs While Roosting or in their Sleep?

    Found a soft egg in the morning poop pile from the roost from last night. ??????? These are the first eggs for our 4 new hens who are about 18 weeks. If the shell is soft, maybe she doesn't know she is laying an egg? So it was broken with the pile of poop just under the roost from last...

    When do you go to layer feed?

    Raked the sand bottom coop today and there were 2 soft shelled eggs in the feathers and poop. Missed one day of raking! So those were their first eggs!! The eggs were white and all of the hens are supposed to be brown eggers...?? I am blaming the red sex-linked hen? Boy, they were all up in...

    chicken poop on our walkout pavers

    Hi! I thought this was going to be a deal breaker for us, also. Once they were old enough to be out in the large yard, they wanted to be up by the patio/house and POOP. I was hosing like crazy. Then I got an old mop out of the garage, the big old stringy kind, and I yell Shoo Shoo and run...

    Play sand ok?

    Hi! I am pretty much a newbie, but we converted old greenhouse to a coop and put in the sand floor. We used kids playsand as it is washed and clean of clay and those things you would not want in kids playbox. It never clumps. We laid down landscape cloth, the gray weed control cloth, under...

    Help Please... Egg Laying Behavior

    Abby, thanks for the question. I am also a newbie with a 16 week old Barred Rock and have no idea what to look for. We put a double x large nest box in the coop today with straw and golf balls. Don't know what else to do. Hoping nature takes its course! Fluffy 2
