    It looks like my wild chicken adventures are over—she abandoned the nest and went back to the COOP!! So that’s that I guess 😆 I felt the eggs and they all seemed pretty light. I’m not curious to mess with them or do an eggtopsy. I imagine she has been sitting on duds since the time between roosters

    Chicken very skittish

    I’ve had lots of chickens like this. Some of them are just not friendly. What breed is she?

    Those damn trash pandas

    I second the dog-proof traps. They work great and in my experience the raccoons will avoid the spot for about a ten-foot radius where you set the trap after you’ve caught one. I don’t relocate raccoons (unless you consider sending them to raccoon heaven a relocation) so I don’t know if they will...

    Average laying age for Ameraucana mixes (Easter Eggers?)

    Welcome to the chicken lady club…some of us are just happy when our men don’t count the chickens 🤣

    Oh no! Sorry to hear that. It happens sometimes no matter how hard we try—you did your best!

    The Moonshiner's Leghorns

    This isn’t Leghorn related except that I am not getting Moony Leghorn eggs this year because this happened: I didn’t even realize I had a hen sitting on a clutch in the woods. If any of these hatch they will be mongrel chickens—mom is a Leiper-Hatch game and Dad is a game/EE. My plan to get...

    Sick hen

    Pictures aren’t showing up. Don’t give vitamins with Corid it defeats the purpose. Corid inhibits absorption of vitamin B, which is what cocci thrive on. So giving vitamin B makes Corid ineffective.

    Six is about what this hen can comfortably cover I think—she is small being a game hen. And I’m very fortunate that she is the one who went broody—she is exactly what I want in a hen and the rooster is exactly what I want in a rooster. I definitely have other hens that I would not allow to...

    That’s what I heard. I am not looking forward to it but I’m sure neither is my broody hahaha

    Average laying age for Ameraucana mixes (Easter Eggers?)

    I swear Marans take forever to start laying. I have a Cuckoo that hatched in April and still isn’t laying. My two BCMs have been laying for a few weeks but the EEs were laying a couple months ago. Daylight is a big factor. Sometimes my new layers don’t even start up until the following spring

    Shadrach's Ex Battery and Rescued chickens thread.

    I can really only guess. The first time I saw her with the rooster was about three weeks ago. I never saw them mate but she kicked all the hens off the feed bowl and let him eat with her. This happened almost every day. So I am assuming they mated. Since she has about 8 eggs under her I am...

    Rigid Foam Insulation Board being devoured by my chickens

    If they can get to it, they will eat it. It’s like chicken popcorn. No one knows why. The real answer is you have to cover it with something so they can’t get to it or they will eat every bit they can reach.

    New to Emus!!! Can they protect chickens against predators?

    My uncle had a couple and they were not safe around children. I’m sure it varies but I was not a fan. They liked to chase us while we rode around in a golf cart. They kept a llama for predator protection. I’m not sure what the emus were for.
