    Winter or Moulting?

    Earlier this winter, even late fall, our young hens almost stopped laying altogether. Then even as the days were getting shorter, their egg production started to come back up again. Is their loss in production from moulting or from the change in daylight hours? We do not have a light for them...

    Egg cleaning

    I know I saw this topic a while ago before I was getting eggs, but now I can't find it! My hens aren 't going to the boxes yet-well starting now, and are laying them in the corners of the coop. Am I correct, do not wash the eggs until you use them? Thanks!

    Fertilized Egg??

    Well, we bought our chicks and there were 2 rooster chicks among them. Now we are finally getting eggs. If we are getting them daily and refrigerating them, will we see any signs of them being fertilized-like blood spots-etc. I had a nightmare about fertilized eggs last night!

    Herding Chickens?

    We are looking at a border collie to help with our cattle. This one will be fully trained to cattle. How many here use a dog to herd and protect their chickens? Any advice? If it would be unadvisable, I can keep them locked in their run or the dog locked up while they are out too. Thanks!

    Pierce, Nebraska Newbie

    Hello everyone- I'm new to the board here and here's a little about us. I grew up raising broilers, but it has been so long ago. We are currently remodeling our coop, so we do not have our chickens yet. We are looking for a good laying breed and maybe for our son to show in 4-H.
