    I put my food and water in the covered run due to the lack of space in the coop. Last week I found that a dove had wondered in to the coop to grab a snack. So just watch out for scavangers.

    Infrequent Egg Layer

    My yard is very small, I check for surprise eggs often. I'm starting to think that she is just not a good layer. I raised her from two weeks old, her age could only be off by a week or so. You can also tell that she is not laying by her size. Compared to her "sister" of a different breed...

    Infrequent Egg Layer

    I have a 23 week old chicken that has begun laying eggs. I don't know what type of chicken she is, but she looks like a standard white chicken that lays white eggs. She's on layer feed and has a light in the coop. All day long she has free range over the yard. My question is: Why does she...

    Help! My chickens/livestock are all healthy!!!!!

    My small flock of three chickens is doing wonderfully. Eating well, laying decent, and not being overly annoying. I also integrated a Silkie bantam in to an existing flock of normal sized chickens. No disease here.

    Plagues of crickets and roaches! Help!

    My girls absolutely love crickets! Part of the reason why I got chickens was to take care of the bugs before they get to my pool and I had to clean them out. However, since the crickets were night creatures my pool was filled with them. So, my suggestion is to put a tub water out for the...

    running extension cords to coops

    If your going for the extension cord method try to plug into a GFI outlet. This way if there is any type of power spike you and your chickens are protected.

    I just got my first egg today and I haven't decided what I'm going to do with it. Mostly I'm going to eat it, but I'm trying to figure out how to celebrate the occasion. Any thoughts?

    Why No Egg Song? Will They Ever Learn?

    I just got my first egg a hour ago, there was no egg song or egg squat. I guess mine are just too modest.

    Post your FIRST EGG pics!

    I just got my first egg! The culprate is a mix breed, I think. Her name is Mixer. She is 17 weeks old today and started laying 5 days after I put a golf ball in her "nest". Apparently all she needed was an 8x8 brick turned on it's side to look like a nexting box. Here she is enjoying some...

    do your hens yell for treats?

    Thus far I have been able to screw up their routine. As a result they never 'ask' for treats, it's great. In stead I have trained them to come when called. A short, quick, "chick chick chick" and they come running like a bat out of heck. It took about two weeks for them to get the idea...
