I just culled my dear chicken, Wonky. How do I deal with the guilt of ending her life although it was necessary?

Will my cross billed hen still lay eggs?

@Stiggy I don't have a photo of her. I am picking her up tomorrow

I have a new hen, she has a crossed bill. Any suggestions?

I am very new to all of this. When hens are past the egg laying age are they too old to eat? Can I eat golden comets?

What does the molting process entail? How can I tell if they are molting?

I have 4 gold comets, all were laying consistently, then all stopped laying approximately two weeks ago after they were moved into a new coop. Could it be the location of the coop, or the winter approaching that has caused them to stop laying? I would love some advice.

Any suggestions on how I could help my dog to get used to the hens? He seems to be struggling and wanting to eat them :/ while my other dog is fine

We have a makeshift coop set up right now as their coop is being delivered in a couple days. Their coop will have a run, nesting boxes, perch etc. The coop we have set up now has those things, but is an open pin.

My fiancé and I recently purchased 4 golden comets approx 1.5 years old. How can we help the acclimate to their new home, what tips can you give us as new hen owners in the city? We want happy, healthy, laying hens!
