    Giving them Lentils and sprouted red wheat

    I have just began to give my 13 hens a handful of lentils with their crushed eggshells. Is this to much protein for them in the dead of winter?

    Two Hens in Laying Box

    Same here! My girls have about four nests to choose from, and sometimes I'll find two or three in the same nest while the others. They don't seem to break the eggs. Though they do seem to make plenty of egg laying songs when they are crammed in together!

    Why do my hens have white earlobes

    One of my black Australorp hen has white ears............... any idea why? Her two sisters, they don't have it. She has had the white ears since she was a wee little thing. Any help or thoughts would be great. She lays brown to light brown eggs.

    what is she. ** Photos added**

    A photo will help a lot... but I'll try my best. It could be a Ameracuna, but not positive. Has she laid at all? Get a picture up soon and hopefully I will be able to see what the little darling is. Kudos to you for saving her!

    um IM a city boy help

    Here is a site about all the chickens, from how hardy they are, to their aggressions, and egg-laying. The Wyandottes, I find, do very well in the very cold weather. I have two hens of that breed, and I have been very pleased how much they lay...
