    Egg cache found in tall ornamental grass

We have had some warm weather as well, but not HOT, until the last 2 days. Not sure if we should eat them. I...

    Pecking order

    Yes, I thank you to Ken. I am not sure if the hen being picked on is always the same one or not, but I will have to look closer.

    Bald Spots In Baby Chick!! Any help please??

    Bald Spots In Baby Chick!! Any help please??

    Have you figured anything out about the bald spot? I have one 2 week old chick with two symetrical bald spots under her wings along the side of her body. If the wings are in their natural position, you can't see the spots, but when she moves her wings, I can see them. Maybe 1/2 inch wide and 2-3...
