    Two hens beating another one up just for sitting in the nest box

    Hi, We have 34 chickens and three of them are older but the younger ones are now as big or bigger than the older ones. The younger chickens are just starting to think about laying. One is doing it daily now. The problem is that two of the older chickens are attacking her for getting in the...

    Smaller yolks

    I just made deviled eggs for a bbq. The eggs were really good and everyone loved them. I think I noticed, I say think because I no longer really remember what store-bought eggs look like (ha) that the yolks were smaller from our hens than from the store. Is this possible? The eggs seemed just as...

    Eggs that taste funny

    I hate myself for this, but I really don't like my fresh chicken eggs. It may be just my rose-combed leghorn (at least I think she is). I have had eggs from my other chickens but usually in something (cake etc). Does anyone else have this issue? I feel terrible because everyone says that the...

    Broke-Leg

    That's the name of one of our golden sex-links. She has that name because she broke her leg as a chick and my husband didn't think she would live. I asked him to try to save her anyway and he splinted her leg. At first, we put food and water right by her and her chick friends stayed with her and...

    MissPrissy's yogurt - warning, may be addictive

    If anyone has fresh goat milk, I strongly encourage you to make yogurt. Miss Prissy has a recipe that really works well. We just tried it a couple days ago and it is yummy and so easy. I had no idea it would be so easy to make yogurt. Also, you don't need a machine --something I thought was...

    Biosecurity measures vs teaching others

    Hi, I was thinking about how important biosecurity measures are for keeping a flock healthy. I think it is very important for people to be able to keep their girls healthy and to protect their flock from illness. It occured to me that while this is very important, it is in conflict with my...

    Artificial Insemination goats

    Hi, I am interested in AI as it seems like an exciting way to improve herds. Is anyone here doing AI? Do you know if there are any classes to learn how to do it? What do you think about AI?

    Luna had her baby

    Our goat Luna had her baby today. Here is a picture. This forum kept me sane as we waited for Luna to kid. She was a few days late and on top of that she gave us our first born for our farm.

    Devastating - the dog killed another chicken

    I am wondering what we can do. One of our dogs has killed many of our chickens (the first set he broke into the coop, after that, we did not know how he was getting them). Now we know that he is pulling them through the fence. We can fix that issue, but he has killed our favorite hen. She was...

    Mutt chickens for eggs

    Hi We have 6 golden sex-link chickens. Some day, it would be cool to let them raise some of their chicks. I know they won't breed true, but when they breed will their offspring be decent egg layers?

    Nests necessary?

    We are new to chickens. Right now our chickens have a large area and live with our goats. Our goat hut is pretty big and is filled with 5" of straw all over the bottom. The chickens sleep in a big bunch in the hut along with the goats (there is room for everyone). The question is, do the...

    Vermicompost for chickens?

    Have you heard of feeding worm poop (vermicompost) to chickens? I read one article about it a while ago and I think it said that vermicompost helps reduce pathogens in chickens. Has anyone here heard about this? Does anyone feed vermicompost to their chickens?
