    Missing Feathers...

    Some of my new to me 2 year old chickens are missing feathers on the back toward the tail feathers. It is down to the skin (which is pink) I don't see blood or scabs. Any ideas what this could be caused from?

    Arizona Cool

    Just added a 20 foot misting system to the backyard for our hot Arizona summers - of course today it was in the low 70's and super windy!

    Our hens have stopped laying eggs...

    They will either slow down in production or stop all together. Once the new feathers start coming back in they should be fine.

    I'm in Yuma, AZ - Just picked up 2 more barred rocks today - I have a broody hen not sure if she will accept them but it would be nice. Still getting an egg from her but it's only been 3 days now so she might stop laying soon.

    My stupid human trick...

    Get better soon - might have dislocated the knee cap which is not good - hopefully it is just a bad bruise.

    Which one of your hens makes the most noise?!

    My Barred Rock GRUMPY makes the most noise before and after laying an egg - and she also likes to find the highest point in the yard when the sun is coming up and makes tons of noise! She wants to be a rooster. She is also the largest of the barred rocks I have.
