    Hard Boiled Eggs

    We got in a conversation the other day about cooking eggs. There were about 6 people in the lunch room at the time and there were 6 different recipes for making a hard boiled egg. SOOO, How do you do it? Start from filling the pot with water, dont assume anything. I think this could get...

    What a Horrible coop owner... So GROSSED out...

    My chickens make good mousers and it is quite amusing to watch. Once or twice a year I will drag the garden hose to the coop and shove it in a mouse hole (they have caught on to what is going to happen as the birds start running around). I turn it on full and then just wait. Usually with in...

    What would try to pull my hen's head off?

    Coons or weasels depending on your location. A friend of mine lost 80% of his flock to it last year so you better keep an eye out.

    Must be a bad year for them. I have thinned the herd too, but near as much as you. However they got tired of losing family I guess cause they have moved on.

    Can you UnBroody?

    Well I went out to start off by getting ALL the eggs but there was a bit of an issue. She was gone. I looked everywhere. She should have been in the coop as it was all but dark and she was nowhere to be found. I looked all over for the next couple days thinking she was just out smarting me...

    Can you UnBroody?

    I have a hen that has decided to be broody (rather strange for a production RIR I thought but to each their own). I don't mind her sitting, if works fine and if it doesn't fine. I don't really have a good way to seprate her out from the others which is where the problem lies. She changes...

    How do you know what is genetically gold or silver? What about the feather speed? Maybe I should just stick to my mutt eggs, they are just as tasty

    Golden Comets

    Search here? or just the internet? I would think in that case you would not be able to do the brown leghorn to make a sexlinked bird then because they colors are to close.

    There are a few that are a little bigger but everything else looks the same. I didn't know if there was anything to look for to tell or not. They are very interesting little creatures that is for sure!

    Is it ok to feed dogs raw eggs?

    Mine get mad if they don't get them atleast twice a week. They don't really like the shells though which is ok because I throw them in the oven for about 10 min on 350, crush them up and feed them back to the chickens.

    I gold comet is a white leghorn x rir cross. I am just wondered if / how the outcome changed if it was a brown instead of white or if that made a totally different breed/cross/sex link.
