    Hurricane Sandy - How are my fellow East Coast Chicken Friends?

    We just got power back here. And luckily with the exception of some trees and fence we faired rather well. Unfortunately, many of our neighbors cannot say the same. My chickens were a major worry - and I have to thank my husband over and over for building such a secure pen and coop for them...

    Soft Egg - Just a fluke?

    Hi friends, my girls are laying pretty regularly now. Although the size has varied, they have all been perfect. This morning, I found a soft egg. I have recently changed them to laying pellets (which they are not crazy about, but will eat). They do free-range for a good part of the day...

    Help with my Easter Eggers...

    Hello friends. I brought home seven straight run chicks six weeks ago. Yesterday I heard my first "cocka-doodle-doo" from my backyard. It was my Buff Orpington. It was a day I was dreading - I cannot keep roosters where I live. Any roosters will need to be returned or adopted out. One of...

    Hello chicken-lovers, I am a new, first time chicken owner. I love this site, and thanks to all of you, am learning so much. Four weeks ago I picked up six, day old chicks (straight run) and one that was a week old. I would love if at least half (three or four) were hens. Unfortunately, I...
