    Just grade mares, but love them for what they are.

    Poor Outcast Hen

    After reading your discussion, maybe I should add that we only have 4 hens left and rooster seems to love 3 of them. A red fox appeared one day and was chased off by our donkeys. After which we found the rooster in a bedraggled heap. When Hubby prepared to bury him, he moved, thank goodness...

    Poor Outcast Hen

    Sorry if this appear lengthy. Irene was traumatized this summer as each one of her chicks was picked off one by one by hawks. She was intergrated back into the flock and seem to be accepted by the few remaining. {fox attack} At one time Irene was the rooster's #1 hen. All of a sudden, our...

    Strange Eggs

    Yes, yolks are darker, but no smell and whites aren't cloudy. I wasn't concerned until an older gent that raises chickens said he probably wouldn't eat them.

    Strange Eggs

    I have a few hens that were hatched about a year ago. Someone is laying small, almost olive green eggs. Odd, because to my knowledge, there isn't any Easter Eggers in their background. Is this suspicious, should we not eat these? There is also one that lays light green, normal size, but we...

    Divided Coop

    I don't think the coop is crowded, it's good sized with extra perches(tree branches) I blamed it on the hot summer, more moult. Then possibly, shorter days, so I added a light with a timer. So that's why I thought maybe, stress? Wasn't really concerned about no eggs at first, just enjoy...

    Divided Coop

    My coop is very diversified, unfortunately. 2 older Bantam hens,2 newly acquired black hens, no idea what they are. Except they are flighty. One large older rooster, 2 Spring hatchlings that are roosters too. And 4 Fall chicks, no idea yet. They were all free ranging during the day until...

    Missing hens

    For anyone reading my original post, the two missing hens are back in the outside coop. With patience, I was able to get them to sort of trust that I was the one feeding them and was OK. Lured them back in, but, now, starting at square one with intergrating. The rooster stood guard most of...

    Missing hens

    No, wondering if anyone has better insight into chicken psyche. With the two existing Bantams having hatched my rooster and being together for a couple yrs, do you have an opinion whether or not they will accept any new comers? The newbies are still hanging around the area, I see sightings...

    Missing hens

    My flock had dwindled, because of old age, down to two Bantam hens and one young LARGE rooster. Because he is so "energetic" and the poor hens are at a loss of feathers, I began searching for a couple larger hens. A young man sold me three black hens, no idea what they were. I kept them in...

    Blue Buffalo dog food vs. 4 health dog food

    Just throwing my opinion in also. I have 4 dogs and one is older and has ALWAYS had yeasty skin. Having had my own stores for a few yrs. I, too, found that when IAMS and SCIENCE DIET got into the grain stores, it seemed to cheapen their products with fillers, like the corn. Tho, I am...

    New Baby

    2nd time broody this Spring and seeing at least one baby peeking out from under Mom. This time we left her alone, but she is in a nesting box about 2 ft. off the floor of the coop. I sprinkled some chick starter next to her and baby immediately started eating. Question...shouldn't I move her...

    Too Cold?

    What do you normally use for a light that's that bright? Tried a couple flashlights but wouldn't penetrate the shell. We will separate the two hens and put them in XLG. field crates, where they will have room to get up and drink and eat without others bothering them. Need to find homes for...

    Too Cold?

    Tried marking the eggs, didn't dare use permanent marker for fear it would go through egg membrane. Consequently, the marking came off. I have let the girls set not knowing which eggs may be good or bad, but this has gone on since about March 3rd. Never candled an egg before, so I don't dare...

    Too Cold?

    My fuzzy legged red Bantam hen (no idea what she is) has gone broody again. She gets off the nest and allows others to lay another egg in her nest almost daily, I think. This is frustrating, as I only have 5 hens and now no eggs for us, but that's another story. My question is, as cold as...
