    New to raising chickens

    I would keep her locked up for a couple weeks to get used to the coup. She won't last long roosting in trees. Owls and raccons will finally get her.

    How Can I Get A Hen UN Broody?

    If your worried about weight loss hand feed them 2 times a day. You need something with a little more substance than crumbles. Dog food canned mackerel or tuna fish works and bread too. Don't feed the last 4 days because you don't want her needing water or a bathroom break.

    How hot should it be for me to worry.?

    It's not so much the heat as it is the humidity!!!!!!!! How high is the humidity ? That's what will get them. 102 is not bad if it's dry there and a little breeze blowing.

    Market egg, home egg difference in yolk

    I don't know about that but I know a fresh free range egg tastes better than a store bought egg. The egg white being thicker is just a fresher egg. The older eggs will spread out in the skillet and the fresh ones will stand up.

    In my opinion age of your chickens is why your not getting very many eggs.

I was at a guys house this winter and I kept hearing chickens across the country road. I...

    Chickens with lice!

    I wouldn't be worried to much about what kind of bug is on them. I would get them treated PDQ. I know people that have had chickens all there life and get by with a wash tub of ashes in the coop, but if there infested already I would use something more toxic.
