    Birds not laying often enough.

    Hi I haven’t been on here for awhile, but it’s so good to see this forum flourishing. In April or May we bought four young hens from our local feed store. Two Wyandotte’s and 2 Easter Eggers, that lay very hard shell pale bluish to greenish eggs. They all seem healthy and happy. All summer we...

    To Catch a Chicken

    Hi, thanks for sharing with us about your chickens. We don't have a rooster. I didn't want the bother. My brother years ago had chickens and a big rooster he named Big Boy. Well Big Boy cornered my 5 year old son in the back yard and my son was crying up a storm because he was literally trapped...

    Big Raccoon problem!

    I'm thinking of getting netting too. About 5 hawks have been keeping an eye on the backyard as they soar overhead. Good luck!

    Sticking my toe in the water

    Hi Theresa, welcome!! We used to have 2 Chinese geese when we lived in upstate New York. We had a few acres on the edge of a forest and the geese made really good watch dogs. They'd make noise if anyone stopped by. They were beautiful and large too! Long graceful necks... we really enjoyed them...

    My puppy is my peeps new predator!

    Correction: Hubby used a diagonal piece of PVC on the gate for strength. It's lightweight but opens and closes really well.

    My puppy is my peeps new predator!

    Hi, we had a similar situation recently. We bought 4 young hens, already laying, and put the coop in our very large fenced backyard. Our 2 year old female Shepherd mix took to the hens as if they were her babies. She'd lay in the yard and let them walk all around where she lay. She kept her eye...

    Are you building your coop using a kit? We got our kit from Tractor Supply. It is pretty sturdy and they sleep in the coop part and lay their eggs there. I wish it had a bigger fenced in run. But it's standing in a large fenced in backyard, so they're out in the yard free ranging most of the...

    Hello fellow feather lovers!

    Hi and welcome! I'm also very sorry about your losses from the hawk. All the hens have their own unique personalities and I'm sure you'll miss them. But we're very glad you're our neighbor on here now. What kind of hens do you have? Are the mature hens? Do you have a rooster? We don't. We have a...
