    Weasel Problem?!

    This morning I went out to our chicken coop and found one of my black Australorpes lying headless by the pophole door. There were feathers everywhere, and one of her wings had been torn completely off. Our 20x24 chicken yard is covered in chicken wire, with a screen door as the opening (which...

    We got our first egg this morning! I was so excited. I don't know which of the 11 chickens laid it, but she laid it in a nest box, nice and clean. Wow, I was so amazed this morning.

    Hello

    We have 5 "red' chicks, 6 "yellow" chicks and 1 white plymouth rock, all pullets. I guess Tractor Supply didn't know for certain what kind the chicks were, so we think we have Rhode Island Reds or New Hampshire Reds, Yellow Sex Link and/or Buff Rocks. They are all adorable and have their own...

I would love to hear about other people's experiences raising chickens. We are building an enclosure for their coop right now so they can move outside. It has been so...
