    Something weird is happening in the nests.

    I'm sure it's not a child doing this as we have a wood privacy fence around the backyard with gates that locking from the inside. Also, my dogs (inside but yappers at any movement) would have alerted to any intrusion. My husband is very hands-off when it comes to my chickens. He will not go near...

    Yep. I'm a newbie....Hi!

    I got my chicken coop as a Christmas gift and got my (6) chickens a few days later. My Dad always had chickens while I was growing up. So, I thought I knew enough about chickens to get started. Well, now I'm finding that all I thought I knew just isn't enough. My Dad passed away in 2010, and my...
