    Summer molting?

    I'm in North Texas and I'm seeing the same thing. I have three that have not laid in weeks. I have check for mites. Nobody is egg bound. Food has not changed. Our temps have been normal for July in Texas (low to upper 90's). I figured the lack of eggs was due to the stress of our two new...

    Any Home Bakers Here?

    Good Morning All, cup of tea in hand and planning the day. Need to make some bread and clean a chicken coop, then out in the garage to get some work done. I made this lovely buttermilk strawberry cake a few days ago and it was so yummy! Hope you all have a blessed day.

    Extreme cold - what is “too cold?”

    Ended Official BYC Contest—Post Your Best (Worst) Chicken Molt Pictures - 2020

    An egg within an egg x5! Help!

    We just had a similar issue this morning but the outer egg was soft shell and the inner hard. All the girls are a bit off this week. We have had hot (high 90’s low 100’s) with unusually high humidity. Almost lost one to heat exhaustion. I don’t recall the girls going off their laying with the...

    Good morning and thank you for the coffee! Everyone got up a wee bit early here and I am finally getting to sit down and have a cup. We also have a new member of our family, Little Harper. Merlin is teaching her the ropes.

    Lost one of my flock

    Thank you all. I have to say it hit me harder than I thought. But I do have to say that my flock does seem happier now that the Mardi is not bullying them. Darcy’s butt and neck feathers are even starting to grow back.

    I’ll read it. I don’t have a problem learning what I can from doing it myself.
