    Crows

    Crows or ravens are stealing eggs from the nesting box. The chickens free range during the day, so we leave a door open for them to jump up into the nesting box. I have twice caught crows taking the eggs and eating them. I’m concerned that anything we put up to keep the crow out, will also keep...

    Weird egg

    One of my chickens laid an egg that is shaped like a lightbulb! The end of it was not smooth, but kind of scrunched looking. Has anyone ever had his happen?

    Egg Eating

    What if you are not sure who is doing it? We had this problem and separated one chicken at a time and still had broken eggs. Then the problem stopped. And now it’s happening again. We have a bird feeder that is attacking scrub jays and an occasional crow. Could they be the culprits?

    VERY Aggressive Rooster: Please Help!

    I too have a somewhat aggressive Banty Rooster. I think he has “little man complex”. 😂. He’s mostly aggressive toward my husband, who carries a stick with him when he’s in the area where the roo is. My chickens free range during the day. I just try to give him a wide bearth and keep my eye on...

    New flock

    I have a new flock of four chickens. They came together from a larger flock. They went into our coop with our rooster. My question is, we normally free range our girls, how long should I wait for them to acclimate before letting them out to range? The goal being that they will go back to the...
