    Welsummer not laying

    I have a 9 month old Welsummer who has been laying pretty regularly (about 4/wk) for the last 3 months. In the last 2 weeks I have not gotten any eggs from her and she is no longer squatting. Any idea of what is going on? Thanks.

    Egg songs?

    The worst is when I hear an egg song and run out to the coop to find nothing...nada.... I guess they are making sure I get my exercise for the day.

    Egg songs?

    Why do chickens have egg songs? If chickens were in the wild I would imagine they would not want to announce an egg to any would be predators. My GLW does an egg song when she is going into the nest and then after she has layed an egg 30 minutes later. Is this common? Just my curious...

    Pre-Algebra & Pre-Geometry

    Let's not forget the chicken math most discussed on this site: How many chickens for x square footage? How big of a coop do I need? That involves area. My coop was built on a slight incline of land. I needed to find out how much I needed to dig out on one side to make a level foundation...

    Ratio of nesting boxes to hens?

    My chickens won't even use the nesting boxes. They all lay in the same corner of the coop. I am thinking of just taking the boxes out.

    How many of you use plain old all purpose flour to cook and bake with?

    America's Test Kitchen found that AP four worked just as well as Bread Flour in their bread recipes. I think it was in the Christmas Baking edition. I think your Challah is beautiful. Good job.

    Pre-Algebra & Pre-Geometry

    Khan Academy is going to be a great resource for you. I assume you are homeschooled because of the Alpha Omega Text. If that is hard for you, see if there is another text book that is easier for you to understand. I am using Saxon to teach my son Prealgebra this year but look at Life of Fred...

    SNAKE!!!!

    Is this it? If so it is a king snake. In honesty if a snake is big enough it will eat your chicks but most likely it was looking for a place to sun. Your chickens will be a little too large after 2-3 months or so then the snake may find himself on the menu. On a high note: This in not...

    Can you get into your run?

    Don't worry. I am pretty handy with things but the doors were the hardest part. You could try to buy a premade door or try a gate kit. Show some pics. Maybe we can help with a visual. Good luck.

    ok to feed spent grain from brewing beer

    Traditionally, Wagyu beef is grass fed and finished on brewery grain. I would be curious if meat chickens tasted different if fed this over corn or regular feed.

    BO Gender

    That's what I though but I just wanted to make sure. The cockerals are being processed this weekend and I didn't want to take out a pullet by accident. Thanks everyone. I do want to ask. Why does his comb look so different? I have 6 BO Cockerals, 5 look like the bottom one in regards to...

    cheapest/best place to get some meat birds, either by local farmer or online hatchery. . .

    Tractor Supply has them for $1.99 but if they go past a week or so they discount them heavily to get them out of there.
