    one week in dim shed quarantine after eggbound prolapse, can I reintegrate?

    Thanks for the input, If she never lays much again, she has earned her retirement, She lays big eggs for her size, and she's always been a good producer. I'd rather her production dropped off that have to worry about another prolapse. And I hate for any of the girls to die a painful death...

    one week in dim shed quarantine after eggbound prolapse, can I reintegrate?

    I think she is about 4 years old, not young. I may start putting the cage in the hen house at night so she is in with the girls. It is that time of year for the laying to slow down anyway but I want to be careful to give her the best chance at a recovery without a repeat.

    one week in dim shed quarantine after eggbound prolapse, can I reintegrate?

    As much as I'd like to come and meet someone, I think I have to wait if no one will have the chicks I want. Especially if the weather is going to be so bad. Are you still going to have Ameraucana at some point or did they not work out at all? Are you planning to be at the swap in May, or any...

    Thalia laid an Egg at School

    I took two of our hens to Kindergarten today, so the kids could see them, and touch them and see how our eggs differ from store eggs. While we had a Q&A session with Greta: Thalia, hunkered down in the cage and laid a beautiful little green egg. The kids got to hold and pass around a fresh laid...
