    Freeloaders: what might the problem be?

    Have you gone on an Easter egg hunt? It's like Easter everyday at my house and I am always finding new places my chickens decide to lay. It could be they just need a couple more weeks. Only a handful of my 25 chicks, hatched 3/7, have started laying. Lots of factors go into hens laying or not...

    Missing eggs

    I have had broody hens push eggs out of the nest before because they knew the egg was bad. Maybe she pushed the egg out and something ate the egg 🤷‍♀️ if there isn't a rotten egg smell I wouldn't think the egg exploded, but it can be possible. I had a broody hen sitting on eggs and an egg...

    (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? I am not new to chickens. I got my first chicken when I was 10 years old, I will be 34 years old next month. My first chicken that started my obsession with chickens was a Lemon Blue bantam game hen. She was the sweetest chicken, I...
