    Very Long lived birds question

    Although not an expert on chicken keeping it is one of my favorite hobbies. I live in California where we are lucky to have mostly sunny days, the nights are very rarely freezing during winter. My chickens usually live a long life..the oldest, Daisy was a ripe old age of 12 when I lost her...

    Is this a joke...Neutering a Rooster?

    While talking about my chickens at work on Friday one of the men in my crew mentioned when he was young his father neutered the Roosters resulting in a very large adult Roo to feed his very large Filipino family. I told my co-worker I had never heard of neutering a Rooster and would ask my BYC...

    Goofy question, but I gotta ask...

    Soon after my son brought home our first chicken I noticed the hen (Lucki) seemed to be picking up on the goings on of our family. I sat with her in the afternoons studying her all the while I believe she was doing the same to me. I soon started to realize this is no stupid chicken we have here...

    how do you break a hen from being broody??

    Good question...... With my hens I find that collecting eggs asap helps... I have one hen who is a mean little stinker so avoiding the problem would be a great help, I am looking forward to some answers from the experts.

    Mud

    Tammyd57: Thanks for the great idea..I had a problem with my White Leghorn "Lucki" using the feed bowl to take her bath in so I started leaving a small pile of loose dirt on the floor of my coop which quickly disappears after the girls scratch around some. I will try the box with sand and bet...

    Worm Farm good idea or not?

    Thank you all for the information and the great stories.. I do have plenty of room for a worm pit or to set a bin out next to the coop. It is actually very interesting and we are all into being as "Green" as possible so this will be a good thing all the way around. Also I will look up "Worms...

    Egg Yolks for Protein?

    Sure I must have missed this question sorry if it is a repeat: Seems boiled egg yolks would be a good source of protein for our chickens?

    Worm Farm good idea or not?

    May I ask if anyone has had a problem with regular worms? Such as the kind you dig up from the garden...I threw my chickens a few I found in the yard and the fight was on they tore that worm into pieces. This has led me to considering a worm farm (small one). And if you have any info on a...

    Hen thinks she is a Rooster?

    No, I have no rooster..she has two hens with her which are more timid than Lucki..I have referred to her as "manly" before but never expected she would start to crow. If this keeps up she is going to be wearing a muzzle soon Thanks for your quick reply (she is crowing as I write).

    Hen thinks she is a Rooster?

    Our silly hen "Lucky" will give out this pitiful imitation of a Rooster which sounds just like one except muffled somewhat. My neighbors have not complained yet but Lucki is pushing her luck anyone have this problem and have an idea why she is being such a stinker? She is a WLH ..gratefully...
