    Young rooster terrorizing my hens

    Thank you Azygous! We are going through a very similar situation with a young roo we hatched in April. He has just come into his own and has not given our ten hens a moments peace in the last two weeks. We only have one hen laying right now and that is because she refuses to use the nesting...

    Can I get my broody hen a baby chick?

    Whats the weirdest thing your chickens have eaten or tried to eat??

    My husband and I had just returned from a day of fishing and set our bait bucket of live shrimp down in the back yard. The ladies went NUTS for the live shrimp! And, it was just plain comical watching them run around the yard with flailing shrimp in their beaks.

    When do Wyandottes generally start laying?

    40 weeks? Yikes! My girls just hit 32 weeks and no sign of laying... I'm keeping the faith they will get it together and start cranking out eggs. Next weekend I'm hosting a backyard chicken workshop where we normally sell eggs. With the little ones not yet laying and two Orps in molt, I'm...

    This was hysterical and I loved it because I've lived it too! All except the rooster. If only my neighborhood would allow them. And I, too, thought sunshine had caused my chickens to have fits of epilepsy.

    When do Wyandottes generally start laying?

    This thread has been quite helpful. I have two Blue Laced Wyandottes right now at 27 weeks and still not one egg, nor are either squatting. Nice to know it may take a bit longer for these big girls. My Buff Orps and Dominiques started laying right around 22 weeks. Here is a pic of Elsie and...
