    What's wrong with our chickens?

    advice on healthy hen who has ceased laying

    Well now that the warm weather is coming, just make sure she gets over 8 hours of sunlight and give it another week or so. All chickens are different -just like humans. I bet she will get back in line soon. Good luck.

    WHAT PREDITORS SHOULD I BE SCARED OF LIVING ON CAPE COD MASSACHUSETTS

    Racoons are bad around here but I too have a fence that they actually have stayed away from. The hawks are my #1. Thankfully the crows are great warnings for the hawks. Can't free range my chickens anymore- now only when I am outside with my hens thanks to a Red Tail- scary things I feel.
