    Mean Hen, How to break her?

    Thanks. I was thinking she was just being a grumpy one. I would like to get all my hens docile because I would like my kids to be able to enjoy them without worry.

    We had a double yoke! Taste great!!

    Ya, I think that I will wait on the oyster shell until they show signs of needing a supplement. If it wont hurt any hen that's not laying I am just going to switch them here shortly. Thank you .

    Hello, new from NC

    I got into chickens about 2 months ago and I love it. I have 6 chickens now with room to grow. This site seems like it has a lot of info for raising a back yard flock. I am excited to start learning.
