    Pine tar rant.....

    I agree on the organic route. The more I get into this chicken thing the more I am realizing why biggers farmers do what they do, becuase it works. I would love to have all natural everything, but it is simply not practical. After this incident I would love to debate someone on de-beaking...

    Eggs Are Here!!!

    Hello, I have 46 hens and they are 5.5 months old. As of a week and a half ago I am getting about 6-7 eggs per day. My question is shouldn't they all start laying around the same time?
