    Great Dane verses a BA Pullet... am I treating her correctly?

    The pullet lost but she's doing okay. She's almost 11 months old. Thankfully she has/had a lot of feathers to protect her for the most part. Mostly feathers missing on her back and tail, but one area did rip the skin back. A good sized section under her wing, about 2" x 5" or so. I...

    rooster behavior and egg laying

    Our egg production has taken a dump and we're trying to figure out why. How much affect does the rooster have on laying hens? They'll be a year old next month and are light brahmas if that helps. Thanks!!

    What is she?

    This is my favorite chicken!! Her name is Mama, and out of 11 supposed Light Brahmas, she's the oddball and easy to tell apart from the others. Only 3 have names because of it. The pullets are now 6 1/2 months old and laying really well so far. Mama got frostbite this winter and has lost a...

    Pullets laying ? and what new breeds to add for more egg production ?

    Is it safe to say that all of our pullets are laying based on a four day egg count? We have 10 pullets and 1 roo, not that he matters, but don't want his pretty self to be left out of this. The girls were six months old on 3/16. The last four days they left us 13 eggs... the most so far. It...
