    How do you break even?

    I have a total of 25 with only 5 laying right now dropped down from 8. I sell ALL of my eggs I get and I cover my monthly feed for the chickens. If I can do it on 5 to 8 eggs a day you should be able to on 13. I sell my eggs for $3 a dozen and have customers waiting on eggs. Will be glad...

    My hen had it so bad her comb was laying over and the shoe polished cleared it up in a week.

    Update - Please look at pics - Treatment for Fowl Pox?

    I had a hen that had it pretty bad on her comb and all she would do is stay on her roost. I showed her to my neighbor who has been raising chickens his whole life. He told me to put shoe polish on it every other day. I thought he was crazy but I did it. Sure enough, a week later you couldn't...

    Colored Easter Chicks

    I know Easter is a few months away. I am just curious if any hatchery or farm or anyone will be selling the colored Easter chicks next Easter? I know a lot of people are against it and it is illegal in some states. Thanks in advance for any input.

    what time of day do your chickens lay eggs

    If I'm not mistaken chickens lay every 26 to 27 hours so it should be later everyday until a day is skipped then laying in the morning again. The weather and shorter days factor in as well.

    Cross Beak On A Chick

    We have 5 little EErs that are 9 days old today. We noticed today one has a little cross beak started. Anyone with any experience with a cross beak? I will start my research now and see what I can find out.

    Killer came back and buried them in the shavings - what does that?

    A mountain lion will bury the prey and come back later, they have like a 100 mile radius hunting ground.

    Survival of the Fittest?

    Seems like the dog needs training before he/she can be around chickens.

    Survival of the Fittest?

    Quote: Easy prey I agree, not that intelligent I don't agree. Any animal can be easy prey to something bigger, or a pack of something bigger. My chickens amaze me almost daily. They are smart enough to know when I'm bringing them treats and they can see this from 25 yards away. They hear...
