    Hard to peel eggs

    put the boiled egg in a pint jar add a little cold water put the lid on and give it a shake or two or three. This works very well.

    Kitty Litter Nest Box Question

    I tried to use a unused kitty litter box. It didnot work the hens had nothing to do with it. I think the cat sent was still present. I have had more luck with dark colored tote boxes. Just cut a opening for the hen. When you gather the eggs just lift the lid to gather the eggs.

    Consistent, loud crying from a 20-week-old hen

    I have backyard chickens and lots of wondering cats. I have not had a problem yet. maybe babychickens would be a problem. everyone seems to mind their own business.

    does she have feathers on her feet? I have two pullets that look like yours but have no feathers on their legs. I think mine are delewares. Nice calm chickens

    I am not sure: two white with a touch of tan or dirt but she lays a light brown egg so she is not a white legern {sp} two red pullets and two delewares I think. If they lay eggs that is all I am concerned about. Ha

    I live at Portales. I just started a new flock of pullets. I bought them local. I have six. About 2 or 3 to many. They are in my back yard and are very happy. Just my entertainment and a few eggs also.

    Good chicken feed vs "scratch"

    If scratch is so bad for chickens why does Purina sell it in 50 lb bags?
