    Hen clucking every night

    We call the vocalizations at bedtime the Fluster Cluck.

    Chicken laying on ground with wing open during the day

    We joke that they're doing Chicken Yoga when they do that. They only do it when they seem particularly relaxed.

    Wrinkled eggs because I'm holding my pet chicken too much?!

    Keep cuddling. It's unlikely you're squeezing her hard enough to distort her eggs.

    timid chickens

    I have a goofy Easter Egger who acted like that. Eventually she mellowed out, a bit. She no longer responds to everything she encounters (humans! the outside! food!) with screams of hysterical terror. But she's still a bit of a freak. I'm convinced she got badly jostled in shipping and that...

    why do my hens lay in the same nests

    I attribute this to my chickens' tiny little brains. My girls would rather fuss over who gets to use the "good" nest than actually use any of the empty nest boxes. The thing is, which box is the "good" box shifts constantly. But whichever one it is that week, they all want to use it. Goofballs.

    Do Some Breeds Have Louder "Egg Songs" When They Lay An Egg?

    Uncanny. You could be describing my birds, both easter eggers. One screams her fool head off whenever anyone is laying. The other one lays stealth eggs.

    What do you gather eggs in?! Pics?

    Beautiful baskets, especially the one your sister made.

    Do you wash fresh eggs? Refrigerate or no?

    We don't wash the eggs, and we store them on the counter. If there's any mess on the eggs, we wipe it off with a damp paper towel. However, we only have four hens, so we're not dealing with dozens of eggs at a time.

    When roosting my hens hold one wing over the next hen...

    My lower ranked hens do this. I think it's really charming. Chickens snuggle. Who knew?

    Will our chickens ever be "friendly"

    My chicken come running if they think we have treats. Otherwise they view us with great suspicion. You never know. One day we might stop being vegetarians. A chicken has to be careful in this big scary world. Seriously, I don't understand how people cuddle chickens. Our hens do not want hugs...
