    Aggressive Ameraucana

    This! You have to communicate with an animal the way they understand. Beekissed has an excellent article. I agree you should read it and follow her suggestions. If not this will never get any better - it still might not but it's the best option you have

    A really long break from egglaying?

    My EE is very inconsistent laying. She doesn't lay all winter with shorter days and molting. This year she started up - gave me 10 eggs in 10 days then stopped. I haven't had a blue egg now in 2 weeks . She knows she is my favorite though and has nothing to fear. She will have to die a...

    Molting Chicken still laying eggs

    All of our chickens are molting (7 of them). I still get 2-3 eggs a day. The only one who completely stops is my EE. She molted last year and stopped laying for around 4 months. It's a good thing she's my favorite or she might have ended up in a pot (JK).

    Chicken run ground cover ideas?

    We didn't add any sand at all. We started with the mulch first. I had read too many people saying the sand caused a real smelly mess and I sure didn't want that. When we put our chickens in their run initially it was grass, but you know that didn't last long. When all the grass was gone we...

    Chicken run ground cover ideas?

    We started with a trailer load of mulch - just the cheap stuff. Over the last year we have added on top of that dried leaves, grass clippings, pine needles - the goal is to 'recreate' what you find on the ground under a wooded area. We also give our chicks table scraps and anything they don't...

    Our first shell less egg

    DuMor from TSC - layer 16% crumble. They all do well on it but the one. She will occasionally lay an egg with a good shell but still thinner than all the others. I also raise mealworms for their treats. This time of year they get pumpkin too - meat scraps off the table and I let them out of...

    Our first shell less egg

    I've got one hen that lays an egg with such a thin fragile shell that it often breaks just with her laying it or me picking it up. I have plenty of oyster shell available to them as well as giving them quality food. I figure she just has a faulty laying system.

    Shell-less egg white only egg

    I have one girl that lays a shell - less yolk - less egg a couple times a week. the other days she lays one with a very thin fragile shell. There is oyster shell readily available. She gets good food. Her egg laying parts just don't work that great right now. I'm not intervening cause she...

    Chickens roosting outside not in coop during freezing temps

    I have two red stars that only go in the coop to lay, stay in the covered run the rest of the time. Even when it was in the single digits last winter they both still slept outside. The roost is about 3 ft off the ground

    Problem with pvc feeder

    Changing the 90degree to two 45 degree turns with a piece in the middle doesn't work either. We tried that. I have to go shake it down every day. That doesn't bother me though. I'm down there daily anyway, gets me in the run with the chickens and I don't know what else I'd want to use

    Sweet PDZ

    I do pretty much what aart does with my run. I add leaves, grass clippings, pine needles, as well as any leftovers from dinner that I give them that they might miss. I have put pine shavings in but I'm not too happy with that - it seems to take forever to break own. My run does have a roof on...
