    Eggs not fertile

    Does anyone have an idea why a hen that is obviously being bred, in a run where other bred hens are laying fertile eggs, is only laying eggs that are not fertile? In 3 batches I incubated all the eggs of one hen were fertile and none of the eggs of the other were not. I incubated a fairly even...

    Flying chickens

    Hi y’all I have several Brown Leghorns. I know, I know…they are strong fliers. I just didn’t know How strong! I’ve clipped the flight feathers on Both wings and they STILL fly over my 50 inch fencing. About the only thing I can figure is to clip their primaries also. Any suggestions?? Thanks!

    This one showed up outside my chicken run, what kind is it?

    He’s a bit beaten up and is skinny. I’m in the process of finding him a home. Hence he’s living in a cage in my SUV. I’d just caught him in pic. He now has food, water, and bedding.
