    My first hatch.

    Had one go broody and stuck 7 eggs under her. This morning she was especially grouchy and growled at me. I noticed she had moved, and then I saw eggshells. So I checked under her, and there were three chicks. The other eggs were not directly under her and felt cold. I think that may be due...

    Time to eat the rooster.

    I got a rooster, which from pictures appears to be a silver laced wynadotte. He is aggressive, and chases the wife around, and has attacked me several times. This wouldn't be a big deal to me except I have small children. I wanted to hatch some eggs, but he is the wrong breed anyway. My...

    The case of the missing chicken.

    A mystery. I let the chickens out this morning, then I carried in an armload of firewood. When I came back out I noticed one hen was missing. Looked around and could not find her. So, I was wondering, was she gone last night and I didn't notice? I figured something got her. I tried to...

    South Dakota

    New member from SD. I have had chickens since June. I started with 15 meat birds, and 5 layers, and one rooster. Something was getting my meat birds. Never figured out what it was. It stole all but three, and got one of my layers. I finally got rid of whatever it was with a special...
