    I think I know... but...

    Okay... here are my two adult hens. I am pretty sure this one (Pearl) is a barred rock... (sorry it's kinda fuzzy) but I'm not so sure about THIS one (Blondie)... I'm thinking either buff rock or buff orpington. Thanks!

    Do I have the most temperamental hens on the planet????

    UGH! My two hens had been on egg-strike for well over a month... NO eggs at all (apparently mad about a food switch). FINALLY at least one of them started laying... got about 6 eggs in two weeks. Better than nothing I thought. Well... apparently moving my two pullets out into the coop was...

    How to tell...

    So I've reintroduced my two babies to each other (they were being raised by kids in different homes) and they've joined my hens in the coop. I had to divide the coop for now as the older hens weren't too excited about sharing with the little ones. Anyway... my chicks (now about 6weeks) are...

    Lots of talk about worms...

    So, being new to the chicken world (I've had my girls for about 6mo)... I never even knew chickens could GET worms... but with all the talk about it on here, I'm wondering how to handle that.

    Is there anything chickens SHOULDNT eat?? (people-food wise)

    Pooh stuck to feathers - how to get off & is it a problem??

    This one is about my hens, not my chicks. I have noticed that their "behinds" are getting a bit dirty looking, so I thought I'd inspect closer. Surprisingly, they let me walk right up and mess with their bums... sort of odd for them. Anyway... it looks like there is a couple wads of poo on...

    My hens stopped laying... WHY?

    Hi again (to those who read my chick post)... One other question on a different topic. I have two adult hens. Got them around Halloween last year and they went right into laying regularly - about an egg every 3-4 days between the two of 'em. I originally got 3, the hens and a pullet...

    Babies... Do they need light 24/7??

    Hi everyone! I'm new to this board and a new chic mommy (I already have 2 layers). Decided to add 2 new hens, and thought, heck... why not get cute baby chicks. Anyway... reading online and getting conflicting stories about how much heat/light. These guys...eek... sorry... these GALS...
