    Will my new to laying hen know where to lay an egg

    Well she done did it :-) I went out to fuss with my handicap girl and didn't see Jesse. I carefully peeked into the nest box hoping she wouldn't see me and she was there and I went back later and there was her eggy. Proud of her nice solid egg

    Will my new to laying hen know where to lay an egg

    All the years I've had chickens I still love and adore hearing these stories. I think they're just one of the funniest creatures on earth. This is been a weird round of having just these two which is a strange story in itself but yep, I've got the egg in there I have another one I can't remember...

    Will my new to laying hen know where to lay an egg

    Great information there! It really cracks me up that I've had chickens most of my last 30 years just a short interval that I didn't and here I am with this young lady and was feeling completely unknowledgeable so this certainly gave me some insight. And like I said I've never had a new young...

    Radio in coop to keep away racoons

    Oh boy! Bears!! Yep I am sure if I was in a different area I would have dogs that would be my helpers, but as it is, my dogs are in at night so no alerting by them.
