My hens were killed last night after receiving threats last 23-25 from two boys playing in my cul de sac. They wanted to let the hens out beat them with a stick and bury the remains and leave the rest for dead. Last night someone unlatched these birds and let them out. They received a predator...

Ok. I just had to share. I discovered my hen Sophia had bumble foot. It’s a long story but we put drainage pipes with river rock around it and sand in the covered attached run first of spring to alleviate wet swampy run. Needless to say the hens turned over the sand with rock exposed. My hens...

I just had to take a moment to share that my large egg layers from Meyers Hatchery are now laying X-Lg to Jumbo size eggs. Eggs now reaching 70-82g. So far no double yolkers.

ok I for sure have 4 hens and three breeds at greater than 28 weeks at which at least three went into lay because I had three eggs in the box and I check every day twice per day. I believe all four are in lay because have three different colored type eggs. My breeds are Speckled Sussex, Golden...

I have 4 pullets and one laying. She has laid 6 eggs in a weeks time. One in run and 5 in coop but not in nesting box.
