    Fibrous poop

    I have three Brahma hens. As soon as the grass started growing this year, they started grazing, which is normal. But one of them doesn't seem to be breaking down the fibers. They all get the same food with oyster shell and grit added in. They spend most of their day free ranging the yard...

    Hen laying because of other hen?

    I have two dark brahma hens. The oldest (Tillie) is about ten and a half months old and started laying on January 5th. The younger one (Hilary) is just over eight months old. I know brahmas tend to mature later and I chose not to supplement their lighting for winter. So, when I found that...
