    My 3 mo old hens look like an old Englishman lol.

    What breed are these? They are very sweet and sociable but they have puffy feathers on their cheeks right under their eyes. They are twice as big as my pullets which are all the same age.

    Anyone know what this is on my young Bantam roo?

Starbrite bonks Isabelle in the head every morning when they come out of the coop to eat, pecks and chases her all the time but never the others. Starbrite layed eggs all...

    Does the meat taste weird or not right if you eat an egg layer vs the meat from a meat raised bird?

    What age for new chick hens is safe to add to my 3 adult hens?

    My hubby is building me a new larger coop with a run and I want to get more hens to add to my 3 layers. I'm not sure how to introduce them since I let my 3 adult hens free range most of the time. But from what I've read, it should be ok since the new coop will be new to all. So, I'm wondering...
