    Eggs at a halt

    I'm not sure what is happening with my girls. I have 6 hens around a year old and recently got 6 other hens and put them all together in a new huge roomy coop and all the egg laying stopped! Not one egg out of 12 hens for a week! Any ideas as to what could be happening? Any help would be great!

    So sadly I'm nearly 100% sure that somehow my little flock contracted newcastles disease. I've had 4 birds die in two weeks. I'm devastated.

    integration emergency!

    I just acquired three new hens, a black sex link, an olive egger and an easter egger. These three had been raised together and I thought that introducing them to my existing flock would go okay.

    hen or roo??

    The lady I purchased her from had her in deplorable conditions and in the sun in a small cage with no shade. Also with no other birds. Who knows. Maybe the bird is just a mean bird or maybe has been mistreated. All I know is she has attacked some of my other birds and came after my daughter (who...

    hen or roo??

    I received this speckled sussex yesterday and was told it was a hen. It's the meanest most hateful bird on the planet. I'm hoping it's a hen otherwise it may be a Saturday night pot pie:D

    Polish Behavior

    I have never had a polish before and purchased my first one today. She is such a little love! So sweet and loves to be held but then I put her in her brooder with her integration partner and she won't get her face out of the corner! It's as if she is hiding! Any thoughts or suggestions? Just...

    Black Copper Marans discussion thread

    My beauty. She's about 20 weeks old now. I'm still waiting for her to lay. I'm new to chickens and have never owned a FBCM before so am not sure if her coloring is right or anything. All I know is she is sweet as pie!

    hen or roo??

    Took me several tries but I got a few side pics of the body of my French black copper maran. What do you think? I still am not sure as to what line she hails from, I'm awaiting a response but am not sure if I'll get one. I plan on buying to from north woods poultry also, via air mail
