    I loved her, so I had to Kill her

    All this information about Sour Crops/ Squishy Crops/Impacted Crops, and nothing would work. Do this, do that, and no success? It's hard to take. I did everything I could and still, it came down to this: I loved her so much, she couldn't suffer any longer. I'm angry, I'm frustrated, I don't even...

    What is the best dog to guard your flock?

    I have 2 Pit Bulls and they have been fine with the chickens. They had no prior experience with chickens and they are 3 years old and 11 years old. They are great dogs, and very intelligent.

    Am I deficient or what?

    When mine first started laying, I didn't have enough of my own to keep up with our needs, so I still had store bought eggs.

    Am I lucky?? Naive??

    Quote: Right now, I'm also enjoying this Honeymoon period too. There are definitely predators in my area as well. I just try to walk the line in between giving them a good foraging life and protection at the same time, knowing at any given point the poop can hit the fan. What I have noticed...

    The Finer Points of the "Egg Squat"

    That's an interesting observation and thank you for sharing. Of the current flock I have, all of my layers are tail down. I'll have to see in the future when I have new ones or different breeds what I will observe then.

    Experiment in classical conditioning to make quieter chickens

    I would just re-home them. From reading your posts, I can see that you have tried other methods prior to the use of a BB Gun or a Water Gun. IMO, when you resort to the last two, it is most likely born out of frustration due to previous failed methods, and the logical thing to do would be to...

    HELP!!! Double yolk eggs!?!?!

    Rachel'sFlock : Honey, all the help you need is a skillet and some toast! Double yolkers are a fabulous (albeit temporary) bonus from new layers. Last year, I saved all mine for "figure 8" devilled eggs at Thanksgiving. They were a huge hit! Enjoy! What a Great Idea! I will be saving some on...
