    Did she go broody?

    Last night I stayed out past dark (rare these days) and I came home to my ONLY LAYER ON TOP OF HER EGG! Every day I check her lately, she's been taking HOURS to lay an egg & is in a daze as she "tries." What would you all say?

    Celebrities with chickens

    I couldn't figure out where else to post this, so here we go. I am interested in learning what celebrities have chickens. Why? Why not? Anyway, I know Martha & Paula have birds, but that's no surprise. Martha's favs are the French Marans & Paula adopted a flock (disputed) either from Mosquito...

    Acute fever then death

    Ugh, awful title, isn't it? No one likes to see a dead chicken, unless you're not veg & it's already cooked & plated. Anyway, this morning one of my 3 Black Copper hens didn't leave the coop to go out with the others. I checked & she was in the nesting box. I figured she was trying to lay...

    Game bird starter VS Chick Starter 24% & 20%

    I'm wondering why using the game bird chick starter, vs. just the chick starter, wouldn't be better. The protein analysis is 24% for the game bird & 20 for the regular chick... Anyone have any thoughts on this? I, stupidly, gave 17% to my baby chicks b/c the guy at the feed store told me he...

    Black Copper Maran lays her first egg DAYS ago & none since.

    My black Copper Marans I purchased off craigslist are about 5-6 months old. One laid what was apparently her first egg the other day. She has the most exaggerated comb of all the girls in her "flock" & so naturally, first to lay, I suppose. This was 4 days ago & haven't seen any since. Worried...

    Pro Roo

    Does anyone have a case for the rooster? My neighbor recently had to get rid of hers & I am super-sad. I so prefer the soft, campy crow to the growly motorcycle or yippie dogs barking. I'm considering pursuing it. I just started my chicken journey with three Easter Egger chicks & It would be...

    Dog Terrorizing Chickens

    So I don't know what it is, my dog was calm when he first met the chicks & now he's crazy for them. They are a month old & he watches me w/ them out the window like a total creep. Tonight my son let him out, not realizing the chicks were free roaming, & the dog went right for them...seemingly to...
