I have 22 hens and only 7 are laying. The weather has alot ot do with it and molting also. I wouldnt kill chickens because they are not laying every day. Thats not how it works. I ordered 2 batches of girls..one batch in early early spring and then another batch in early summer...when one...

farmville is much better than farmtown. If you are on farmville and need a neighbor just add me and let me know that you are a BYC friend. : )

I play farmville and it is very addictive

I refuse to get any flu shots..so many people get sick when they do. That just doesnt seem right to me to go get a shot that makes you sick. I hope you feel better soon.

We did everything we can for our chickens first winter. My husband insulated the coop and nailed up boards around the bottom of the coop so wind cant blow under the coop...he also put some plywood up to block the wind from cutting through their run...only a 3rd of it is protected from snow and...

I kissed the first egg that i found in the nest box...i have been getting eggs now for several months now and am still over joyed.

I am so glad that Glenn is on trying desperately to get Americans to wake up. I am afraid its to late.

I had the shampoo and bath water ready before i went to get my white rock chicken. I just kept talking to her real softly and everything i did was very slowly. It was amaziing how well she did...i have bathes others as well.

YEP...very soon now. My EE's were my first layers...16 weeks old. That was in the summer though. Some of my new girls should have layed by now but havent due to the cold...so hopefull she will lay soon for you.

I think it would be okay to leave them out for an hour and then put them in the frig. My girls are on their roost by 5:30 so I go out and gather the last eggs then and lock them in for safety and warmth.

My girls are still holding their weight..maybe they need wormed. Hopefully someone else will chime in soon. There are all natural wormers out there that you can use and still eat your eggs.

Here is the website for those who are interested in listening to Henry Mahan. He preaches Christ...alone and his finised work on the cross. Every sermon gives you such peace and comfort and you learn each day to Rest in Christ and his finished work on the cross...

Your quote that I am a great sinner and He is a great Savior! is such a great gift. Only those that see themselves as a great sinner will need such a great Savior. Their is a great website called audio sermons. I listen to Henry Mahan. There are alot of great preachers on that site, but...

I let my girls out at 2 each day...the girls that havent laid do go right back in to their nest and lay. Its pretty incredible. If they are use to being in their coop and run all night and part of the day, they should go back into their coop to lay for you.

I got my cook book and it is wonderful. I just love it. I am going to use a new recipe out of it each week. I love the art work in it. So well done!
