This particular egg farmer did not have any special lighting on in theirs. They had sky lights and it was actually darker in there than it was outside when I picked them up. I got some antibiotics and vitamins to put in their water. IF something is wrong with them it will help, if there isn't...

Thank you, I take that as a compliment. I definetly have a soft spot for chickens, and all animals period. I would save them all if it was possible, but I really don't think it would be a good idea to have 75,000 chickens. HAHA. These egg farmers (at least around here) are only allowed to keep...

An egg farmer was getting rid of about 75,000 chickens, and he gave me 150. I love chickens, and enjoy seeing them run and play all around the back yard all day. I have a weak spot for wanting to give these chickens a better life because they are treated so poorly in those small cages, and I...

A friend of mine gave me 20 chickens after I bought my house (which came with a coop out back)....he has thousands upon thousands of chickens and was in the egg business. Since we moved them, they haven't been laying regularly. I've had them for about a month or so now. Someone told me it may be...
