    When can I put young pullets with flock?

    I have four two-month-old pullets. They are fully feathered and have been out in a wire cage inside the main coop for almost two weeks...I just couldn't stand them in the house any more. They are about 1/4 the size of my grown pullets (ranging in age from 1 to 5 years) and I do have a big...

    Naked Chicken

    I have one hen, of 13, who is almost naked. She is not molting, I have seen that before. I see no bugs on her, non in the coop. I sprinkle w/ DE frequently. Her whole bottom is totally bare, the side of her neck (which might be from the rooster) and, of course, her back (again, probably from...

    Bloody eggs

    We've always had a bloody egg every now and then, but lately there's a couple every day - pretty bloody, too. Why does this happen? We have a rooster, the hens are all healthy, though they have been confined for several weeks to the coop and pen due to several feet of snow in and around the pen.

    Is this molt?

    One of my three-year-old hens looks like somebody has been plucking her. She looks naked! Tail feathers essentially gone, all scraggly looking on her body. Is this molt?

    Looking for pullets in southeast Nebraska

    I'd like to add a few more pullets to my small flock - breed isn't really a factor, but a good laying breed would be nice. I have white and brown leghorns so brown egg layers would be nice, too. But, that said, any pullets will do. Thank you!

    Rooster maimed - do we really need him?

    Oh my gosh, our Jack Russell Terrier, Ruby, got out of the yard (she's never out in the fenced yard alone because she's a rescued dog and quite unpredictable, she just snuck out through the gate when I ran through to grab our new big puppy who hurled himself over the fence) and went after the...

    Will they ever assimilate?

    I had one rooster and four 2.5 year old hens. This week I added four hens, after a quarantine period and after a period of them being next to each other in different pens. I have a coop with attached run. I have had them in the coop/run together for four days. They are all shut into the coop...

    Question about our hens this winter

    Okay, this August I got four brown Leghorn hens that were supposedly one year old, from the spring of 2007. They took about three weeks and then we started getting 1-2 eggs a day, about five days a week. Around the middle of October, they stopped completely. Not one egg since then. We feed...

    Eggs? I'm still not getting any - just the one random egg every few days, nothing regular. I can't tell you how disappointed I am...I'm giving up!

    panicking a little...

    We've had our four leghorns and one rooster for a little over two weeks. They are in a 12 x 12 pen with a coop attached but we let them out when we're home and they go all over our 17 acres. I've never seen them apart. Just now I went out for a walk to check my garden and I see that the...

    I know this has been asked before, but...

    I got four Leghorns that are a year and a half old two weeks ago. They've only laid about 7 eggs in the past two weeks. I know it's been asked before and I'm TRYING to be patient, but I want to make sure there aren't other things I should be doing. They get to get out of their pen and free...

    hens moved and egg laying

    I bought four 1 yo leghorn hens from somebody who was moving (I researched and trust this person). Two days after they arrived, we got two eggs. That evening, we added a rooster. Now we've had two days without eggs. I understand that they will most likely stop laying for awhile after all of...
