    Yes, I'm getting huge eggs! I feel sorry for my girls for having to push them out! They also have great personalities!

    Bad Hawk bad!

    Oh my gosh, you were right! I have been eyes to the sky for 2 days now and today my neighbor from 2 doors down stopped her car and told me that the German Sheppard from across the street had a hold of my chicken. Good CSI work Oregon Blues! I'm glad it wasn't a hawk. Now I just have to make...

    I thought of that. If so I'm glad that they are aware of the danger. Sorry about multiple posts, I'm just learning!

    Bad Hawk bad!

    I'm pretty sure my 7 month old free range sexlink was attacked by a hawk yesterday. I found her alone in my garage cowering in a corner of my garage surrounded by feathers. I picked her up and realized half of her tail feathers and a good chunk of her rear and back feathers were gone. She also...

    Egg bound or not?

    They all have oyster shell available at all times. They free range from 9-7 but I have feeders for them all day. All the others are laying perfect eggs. We have been having thunder storms every afternoon and was wondering if maybe she gets stressed out about them. Yesterday it was raining really...

    Egg bound or not?

    Yesterday one my hens (6 months) was showing all the symptoms of being egg bound but I saw her squat and lay a soft shelled egg and afterwards she continued to show symptoms. I gave her a warm bath and she perked up but no egg came out. Can a hen be egg bound and still lay an egg? (Maybe get...

    Rogue Hen lays on the move

    My DH made each girl her own nesting box even though suggestions said we only needed 2 or 3 so there is definitely enough space for her to lay in. However as everyone said all the girls use only 2 maybe 3 nests. I put golf balls in all the nests to try to get them to spread out but to no avail...

    Rogue Hen lays on the move

    I have one hen out of 6 that is laying eggs while on the roost, while walking around the coop and when I let them out to freerange she will just drop it, almost like she doesn't know it's coming. (Is that possible?) Today she layed it in the compost pile and one chicken pecked it and now...

    Ok, I found a secret nest in the woods.....

    Mine too are let out a few hours after sunrise but they have decided that laying in the woods is more preferable. The nest I found was quite nice! Maybe I should make their nesting boxes a little more rustic!
