    How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

    I got two out of two, both frozen one cracked. After all their hard work, poor girls. They've been laying later in the morning, while I'm at work.

    Central NY winter, ugh

    Here is my coop in July when we finished building it, It's in a 5' x 15' kennel. It's covered now for winter with an ugly tarp and one side is covered as well to help block the wind. The door opens and we have an insert with a much smaller door and a partial plastic flap that they go in and...

    Review by '' on item 'Brahma'

    My Buff Brahma is so beautiful, and she cracks me up when she runs towards me for treats! She's almost seven months old and I haven't seen an egg yet, but I'm okay with it. She's very large and it takes quite a hop to roost at night, she may benefit from a lower perch. Although she runs pretty...

    how do I get my hens to lay eggs in the nesting boxes

    My Hew Hampshire Red just started laying a few weeks ago, she lays them right in front of the door (It's a smaller coop, raised off the ground).

    Central NY winter, ugh

    This is my first experience with chickens, and so far I'm really enjoying it, but I have to admit I'm second guessing my decision to have them, winter really stinks. First of all I only have two, and I wonder if they're adequately keeping each other warm enough. We just had a nasty cold spell...

    what to do with my one lonely hen?

    I was lucky enough to get a New Hampshire Red from the same place I got my Brahma's, she's very pretty and the same age. I was nervous introducing them, but they did quite well. I'm so relieved.

    what to do with my one lonely hen?

    I got two buff brahma pullets in July, my first and only chickens. This morning one of them was killed. Now I have one left and I'm worried she won't make it alone through the winter. I am wondering if I should find a home for her, or try and introduce her to another hen or two before winter...

    Should I feel guilty for having chickens when my neighbors dogs kills my chicken?

    My neighbor's dog got one of my hens today, gave her a fright and took quite a few feathers, but thankfully she's alright. I only have two as well, and I'm pretty smitten with them. A responsible dog owner would apologize, offer to pay and do everything possible to contain their dog, but then...
