    New Hens Won't move----

    This kinda goes with my previous post. We got the 3 new hens which aren't laying yet, probably about 4-5 months old, n put them in the coop to get them used to it. It's a small coop from TS but plenty big for just those 3 chickens. Anyway, this is their 2nd day and they are just staying in the...

    Introducing New Birds……

    This rooster has traveled down to our neighbors twice now because he has hens, so I guess he’s REALLY lonely. My adult son has to walk down n get him. This rooster has travelled down to our neighbors twice to visit neighbors hens, so I’m guessing he’s REALLY lonely n won’t cause any issues...

    Introducing New Birds……

    I have ONE single rooster. All our hens were either killed over the last year, or died of old age. I would like to start with 3 new, young-ish hens. I don’t imagine the rooster will give them much problem as he’s “lonely”, correct?? I plan to shut them all into the coop for how long? Days...

    Hurricane season 2024

    I'm wondering (just for my own knowledge) why the Gov'ner of FL ddn't turn all the southbound lanes of Alligator Alley into northbound lanes to alleviate some of the traffic getting out? I see vid's on the Weather Channel of bumper-to-bumper traffic going north and the southbound lanes empty...

    Cheapest Egg Cartons?

    Has anyone found a cheap source of egg cartons for a dozen eggs? I’m giving eggs away since I get 6/day so I don’t want to spend $1 a carton on top of it.

    How long are eggs good?

    NM. I ended up throwing them all over the fence into the woods. I just wasn’t ready to risk it.

    How long are eggs good?

    My sons new mower finally came and he’s mowing tonight. He found a cardboard box in our burn pile with about 2 dozen eggs in it!! Are they good? Do a float test on them? Or just discard?

    Double yolked eggs?

    My son was asking because we’ve been getting a LOT of these. If they’re fertilized and brooded will they hatch out 2 chicks or will only 1 develop?

    Aggressive Roos. What to do?

    I started carrying a rake with me every time I go feed. I just shake the rake at my roo and tell him "it's you or me boy, and it's gonna be me!" and haven't had a problem since. Its worth it since otherwise he's a good rooster. And it's only me. No one else in the family.
