    Good morning! I have a problem if I keep the pupae in with the larvae, they seem to dry up and die. I get more beetles if I separate them. I have resorted to keeping a 3 tier system (beetles on top with a mesh bottom, where the eggs drop into the 2nd drawer, then pupae on a paper towel in the...

    ok...i have to ask. I have read numerous articles, was told by the chicken lady at the farm that Hazel is an Ameraucana but I'm not convinced. BTW she still hasn't laid an egg (10ish months old)

    Mourning a loss?

    Shirley laid only 6 eggs then she had one break inside her. It was Christmas morning that we brought her inside and nursed her till she passed. So it's been 3 weeks

    Mourning a loss?

    We lost our top hen, she was a runt but still the alpha in our small (3) flock. Our Blue Sapphire stopped laying and she was pretty regular with 5 eggs a week. Is she mourning? On strike?

    My big girl is crowing

    Hello, I have 2 pullets, well, I thought they were both girls. I rehomed the cockerels 2 weeks ago. They are 13 weeks old (if the chicken lady I got them from was accurate about their age at 3 weeks) ANYway, Laverne was crowing this morning. Here's a picture, this is a female, right? She's...
