    Rhode Islands Reds Stopped Laying

    So what do I do if they haven't been laying for two months. They are only 18 months old?

    Rhode Islands Reds Stopped Laying

    Ah, yes. I do see feathers on the ground. How long will they not lay for?

    Rhode Islands Reds Stopped Laying

    I have three Rhode Island Reds born in April 2014. This summer, 2 of the Reds stopped laying. I live in NY and there is plenty of light. They look healthy and are moving around well. I am using layer feed and they get plenty of water. I also have two Leghorns they are laying every day...

    Closing coop door versus fenced in area.

    Thanks. The fencing is strong and has a sufficient apron.

    Closing coop door versus fenced in area.

    I have the omlet chicken coop which I am very happy with. It has a proper coop area with a door and then an attached fenced area. I used to close the coop door every night, but now I leave it open and just close the fenced area, which is safe. Do the chickens want the coop door closed or does it...

    Under belly of chicks brown

    My waterer wasn't working right and the bedding got soaked. The chicks were probably sitting on the wet bedding for 12 hours. Now the white chicks, which are about 1 to 2 weeks old have the underneath part of them all brown and bad looking. Should I be concerned?

    I very much want to get started with the hens in the spring. My wife, however, is concerned about mice coming into the house. Is she correct in her concerns?

    I want to buy a beginner book. I know close to nothing about this chicken thing. Any recommendations on a book?
