    Why aren't they laying?

    Thanks, you were right. I found another type of egg in the same nest box. This was light blue and smaller than the light green Jumbos. I guess they just need to settle in. Does the pecking order have anything to do with it? I would swear that the large light green eggs were from either of...

    Do you get chicken mites on you often?

    Well, this answers my question about all the itchy bites I have since getting grown chickens! We got them from an Amish farm and when I came home from being in their barn to pick out my chickens - I had bites all over. I was wearing shorts and a tank top and the chickens were flying all around...

    Why aren't they laying?

    Why aren't they laying?

    Last weekend we brought the new coop home and set it up. Then we went to the Amish farm for 4 adult chickens. They told me they were about a year old and were laying. They came from a large open coop with many hens and a couple of roosters. So I've checked for 3 mornings and no eggs. I...
