    Eggs with no shell - not eating, drinking - still active

    She is 2. She's low on the pecking order but when I bring out the feed she is the only hen that just wanders away. When I approach her she lowers yourself as if she's ready to mate and I'm the rooster. FYI: My area doesn't allow roosters.

    Eggs with no shell - not eating, drinking - still active

    My Buff Orpington wanders the yard fluffed up and broody but she shows no interest in eating or drinking and her eggs are shell-less. I provide her with calcium and baked egg shells. I have caged her with minerals and food and fresh water. I dewormed her in the spring. Help?

    Young male 'keet is sleeping all the time

    I have had several parakeets over the past 20 years but I'm confused. My 4 month old parakeet, Porthos, has been sleeping a lot and bobbing his head in an unusual way these past 5 days. He snacks on his seed during the day. His eyes and nostrils look fine. His poo isn't the usual tight circle...

    mites, mites, mites

    In May, 7 out of 10 of my chickens had live mites and eggs on their feathers. As of yesterday, 9 out of 10 have eggs on them but I didn't see a single live mite. Do I separate the 1 hen away from the flock?

    Utah!

    I currently live in Layton, Utah but plan to move to Weber County here in the next few years. I want to keep my flock when I move but I know some cities don't allow backyard chickens. Does anyone know if Clinton, Sunset or another city near that area allow chickens?

    Taylorsville, that's only 40 minutes. How many fertile eggs do you have and how much would they cost?

    Utah!

    Hello Ladies and Gentlemen, I'm in Layton and my Silkie has gone broody again (no surprise there). Where would you recommend I get fertile eggs for her to hatch? Thx Amber

    Can we trim the "flight feathers" of our chickens?

    Utah!

    Earlier this year, in April, I had a rat problem. 6 weeks later the rats were gone. Yesterday I saw 2 more rats. How can I keep these critters AWAY? Accepting all advice, thank you.

    My bantam Silkie is very broody. She also fluffs up and screeches. The sound reminds me of predator, haha. Luckily, she's very friendly just puts on a big display.

    Utah!

    Hello Shmeal, I would never introduce only one hen into the established flock. Your husband is right. Three hens should be very happy but if you want to add new hens then get two hens that already know each other and get along. If you've never combined flocks before, please read up or ask...

    I had 5 quail eggs disappear ... I recently noticed a very fat garter snake in my yard ... I'm pretty sure I know where the eggs went
