    New Home Needed: Owners are moving!

    Thirteen sweet hens need a new home not necessarily together. Will relocate from Auburn Wa. to your home. To be picked up at your convenience :) Nine ( Rhode Is Red, Barred Rock, Black Australorp), are two years old and four Easter-eggers are four years old, still laying very well.

    Egg bound look?

    This Easter eggers is 28 weeks old and has stayed on the nest box four days. I am concerned, she fluffs up if I come near, pecks at me when I gave her scrambled egg and water-I don't think she is leaving the box. I think she is too young to be broody, right?

    BB4 4 Hole big Bird Laying Nest

    We purchased two sets but need only one. We paid $243 + tax and shipping we are selling the second one for $125.00 to someone local who can come by and pick it up. These are easy to assemble and easy to clean. Our chickens are comfortable in and using the one we have installed.

    We have enclosed our chicken run with livestock fencing. We've put it above to protect from overhead and also sunk it a foot and curved it out as well. It is heavy grade- do I need to worry for my chickens? I've been leaving their coop door open to the run all summer without any issues but am...

    Why would a five week chick be loosing neck feathers-a couple a day?

    Our five week black sex link is loosing a couple neck feathers a day. This is not happening to any of the other chicks. I have one chick which I think is a rooster though "he" is not crowing yet. I clean the coop out weekly, rake the chicken run and spread DE in both coop and run. Any...
