    Laying eggs in the bushes

    Well, it seems that just yesterday, my chickens (2 out of the 3 anyway) decided they want to lay in my raspberry bushes rather than the coop nest box. They had been reliably laying in the coop for a few months now. I did some searching before posting this, and I see that some people have...

    1st egg - can I eat it?

    So I just got my first two eggs; one yesterday & one today. Yesterday was exactly 3 weeks to the day since I brought them home. Is there any reason I shouldn't eat these eggs? Like if by chance they had been given some medication right before I got them, how long does one have to wait until...

    Is my Red a Roo?

    Can any of you tell if my Rhode Island Red is a rooster? All 3 chickens are 6 months old now. The Red just grew those longer tail feathers in the last couple of weeks, and today I was comparing it's comb to the other two & it looks a little bigger too. The Black Australorp's tail feathers...

    Beak Deformity?

    I just got my chickens yesterday & I didn't notice until I got them home that the Wyandotte has a weird beak. Most of the top portion is missing. Am I correct in assuming this is a deformity & I should call the guy I got them from & ask to swap it w/ another?

    New to chickens - what do you think?
