    Massive Egg Why? + Guess how many yolks! (PICS)

    We get a double Yolker about once a week from Flap Top (although not so much lately). Inquiring minds want to know, how many yokes were in there? I guess 3. Sharon:D

    Official Contest: Worst Chicken Molt Pictures - Winner!

    I am very new to chicken rearing, but why would they lose their feathers in September, prior to the cold weather starting? I live in the NE, will this happen to my girls??? Scared:) Sharon

    Can you eat your first eggs?

    The one end should be done with a pin (Straight) and for the opposite end I use a pin as well but put it on a 45 degree slant to make the hole slightly larger than the opposite end. Then blow from the small pin hole opening. That should do the trick:)

    Can you eat your first eggs?

    Just poke a small hole on both ends and blow it through:) Hard to start and then it all comes out:) Sharon

    Can you eat your first eggs?

    Thanks. I did blow out the first one to save for the X-Mas Tree this year:) A friend taught me that:) But I don't want to waste the second one. It will be dinner tonight:) Sharon

    Don't Break the Eggs

    We got one egg from one of the 9 hens on Monday who are 21 weeks old. However, it had a crack. It was layed in one of the boxes, but the chickens keep kicking the shavings out of the box. Leaving a hard wood bottom. 2 Questions. What's the hold up? Once they start to lay, don't they lay...

    Who else is waiting the impossible wait?

    Our 9 hens are 21 weeks old. Just got our first egg on Monday. And have been checking a few times a day every since and nothing:( Not sure what the hold up is????

    Getting Chickens back in the pen

    Thanks, I am just concerned about them being out all day - wondering around - getting lost or a fox getting them:( Do predators usually only come out at night?

    Getting Chickens back in the pen

    We are new to chicken raising:) and loving every minute of it. Is there an easier way to get them back in the pen when they have been out wondering during the day? Sharon
