    How can I tell if my hen is pregnant?

    I'm sorry but I have to ask. Are you kidding. You really think chickens get "pregnant"? I'll probably be chastised for this but I'm flabergasted at this question.

    Eggs for food vs eggs for chicks...sound off please

    Hi, I can understand you might want to raise chicks but I question why you have 3 cockerels unless you have lots of hens. One rooster to 7 hens should be fine. Fatten up those cockerels and put 2 in the freezer. You're feeding two more chickens than you need to. I don't have chickens now but...

    My intro
