    Hen Seizures?? I have no idea

    Well, I'm not sure she broke anything. Right now she's acting pretty normal, like clucking and everything... though she's also trying not to fall asleep, and then suddenly she'll fall backwards, she can't really extend her neck and she flaps her wings like crazy. I've given her some calcium...

    Hen Seizures?? I have no idea

    Yesterday I found one of my girls sitting in the corner of the coop, rolling her head around backwards. She was sitting on the ground and looked like she was straining. I checked to see if she was bound but felt nothing in her vent and her abdomen felt normal. I checked her poops and they...

    Elusive Opossum Battle

    Hey guys. I've been trying to live trap an opossum for at least two months. I have bated the trap with veggies, peanut butter, crackers and it always seems to figure out how to get the food without actually going inside the trap. Today I caught a squirrel instead of the opossum. Any advice...

    I kind of think that this new editor is a little wonky. I had problems with it earlier. Could you post links to the photos?? I usually do that and load the photos to flickr or my blog.

    OMG the wind!!! I was so scared for my girls. I know the coop is pretty well sealed and insulated, but it was brutal. Though, today I got out there and one of the girls had laid TWO eggs!!!! I think she's a beast. If I were her I would have refused in that weather. It's too cold and I'm...

    Cheese making

    I'd be interested in your recipe! I bought a book (Cheese Making by Ricki Carroll) and I can't put it down. Do you have an online product/ingredient supplier you prefer? I'm trying to find local dairies which may sell raw milk, but it's harder than I thought it would be.

    Cheese making

    I couldn't really find a thread for this. I'm a newbie to it, I've mostly made soft cheeses. I'm contemplating my first attempt at hard cheeses. Anyone have any experience/advice/tips/stories?

    Refusal to lay? (Privacy Question)

    This may be a stupid question, but my girls are at 27 weeks, all signs say that they are about to lay... but... Is it possible for a hen to be stubborn about laying due to lack of privacy? The girls all sleep in one nest box even though I've tried to deter that. There are two other boxes, but...

    How much does daylight affect egglaying

    I just installed a solar powered rope light inside of my coop. I'm not 100% sure it'll affect egglaying, but I've heard that hens are usually more comfortable in coops that are somewhat lit, like a nightlight. This may be due to their vision, which is quite different than a human's. My girls...

    the [egg] wait is driving me crazy!!!

    I feel yah. My girls are 25 weeks today and I'm waiting with baited breath. I've noticed that they're getting a bit rounder, their combs are pinker and they're a tad louder, but... i could just be making it all up in anticipation. I'm going out of town next week and I'm praying that the...
