    Too loud in the morning!

    That's the sound exactly! I guess I have to get used to it if I want eggs...

    Too loud in the morning!

    They have an outdoor run about 16'x5', and an indoor coop around 10'x12'. They are inside the coop on the roost squawking---if they wanted they could go to the outdoor area, and eventually do and spend most of their day out there. They always have access to food and water. We do let them...

    Too loud in the morning!

    I have about a dozen hens, and when they wake, a couple of them start clucking, and then more chime in, and it gets really loud. It usually lasts for 10-15 minutes and then they quiet down. Is that normal?

    Wing Injury

    We have 17 chickens that we let free range (they are about 7 months old), and recently one got attacked by a fox. We managed to scare the fox away before too much damage. One of her wings was badly injured. She seems like she'll be fine, but the rest of the chickens now keep pecking at...

    Egg Color

    I have 5 Buff Orpington pullets (at least that's what they look like to me!), and I'm pretty sure the smaller three are laying white eggs and the larger two lay brown eggs. That seems to jibe with what the original poster stated, with her pullets laying white eggs as well. Has anyone else...
