    Comment by 'scott6150' in article 'Puyallup Washington Chicken Ordinance'

    I have a friend who owns a home in downtown Puyallup. He's having a huge problem with a neighbor who has 25-30 ducks, chickens, and turkeys. The main issues are smell, a ton of flies, and RATS on her property, which weren't there before this. He took the issue to the city council, and before the...

    New 19 week old pullets - signs of stress/not using roosts?

    I have never clipped my birds' beaks, or have I heard of it! What's the purpose?

    When can I expect eggs, and are they really black sex-links??

    I have barred rocks that are 21 1/2 weeks and no eggs yet. They don't have full combs and wattles yet. Should I be concerned? They don't squat for me yet.

    When do chickens lay?

    Watch if they sneak into some brush. I found a nest in a flower garden with 8 eggs in it! Sneaky!

    Why are people so weird?

    Explain to them that chicken feed costs money, and how much it costs to get them to laying age, and the egg price from you is cheaper than "free range" eggs in the store. Also, a $1 deposit on the carton?

    When to cull old hens??

    How do you cull? I've been doing a head shot with a pellet gun, and sometimes it takes 2-3. I'd like a more humane way to do it!

    Egg Laying From Roost Bar

    I've got a 7 month old that started laying during the night on the roost bar about 2 weeks ago. Driving me nuts. She was laying in the nest boxes quite awhile. I've thought about setting a light timer to come on before dawn. Thoughts?

    Is my coop big enough, and do these breeds get along?

    Original Recipe!!! Your coop is WAAYYYY too small for 8 birds! I don't care how much roost bar they're not using. How would you like to be in such tight quarters with other humans?!?!?

    What breeds are friendliest?

    I just offloaded two RIRs and one barred rock that were picking on one of my buffs. What breeds tend to be the most docile, yet good layers??

    HOW DO I STOP A CHICKEN FROM BEING BROODY??????????????

    One of my Buffs went broody 5 days ago. I let her stay in the nestbox for 2 days, and she didn't come out unless I took her out, then she'd run right back in. I took her to a friend's house, put her in a pen by herself for the last 3 days. Just brought her back, and she ran right into the...

    Fishy smelling egg

    I've got the same problem! I was feeding Layena Plus with added Omega 3 and flaxseed, which I've read can cause it. Most of my eggs taste great, but usually 2 out of 5 are NASTY! Thoughts?
