    Broody Silkie

    Our little Silkie Honey Mustard has become broody. Husband tells me I should leave all the eggs in the nesting boxes so she will quit. Is this true? http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f134/edeckah/100MEDIA_IMAG07441.jpg

    Randy Roo

    So I have this light brahma rooster who is pretty big. He mounts, or tries to, pretty much any or all of them. But there is one hen who is probably always been the naughtiest one who he picks on the most. It's gotten to the point where he's pulling out huge amounts of feathers. She's missing...

    Easter Eggers

    Rogue Chicken!

    We have free running chickens and for the most part the flock doesn't go far. 1 of them, our 4 month old Roast, goes just about anywhere.

    egg laying etiquette

    Is there a certain time of day that chickens typically lay? How common is it for the chicken to eat their own egg?

    Our free range chickens used to go back to the coop when they were ready for bed and we'd lock them up. After a raccoon break-in, my NH started coming up to the front porch to be put to bed. And since the 2 Sebrights have followed suit. Now everything night we have to pluck them off the front...
