    Bad behavior Red Stars

    I had to separate two of three Red Stars from the rest of the flock. I have written before about their cranky nature and now they are picking at my other girls. Even tho they are some of my best layers they can go and I will not purchase Red Stars again. The calm nature of my Plymouth Barred...

    They each stay with their own Kind!

    We have noticed something interesting. Each of the different variety of chicken in our family stays with their own kind most of the time. They even roost in groups in the coop. Also our EEs seem more game bird like than any of our other chickens. They play rougher and fly & roost higher...

    White Rocks rock!

    In this last batch of chicks we purchased two White Rocks. I can believe how much faster & bigger they grow. At 9 weeks they are as big as my Production Reds. Wow! Funny thing is they also act older, hanging out with the older hens and already going inside the nest boxes. Chickens are sure...

    Mixed the NEW with the OLD today!

    Well, mixed the new chicks, that are from 2/3 to 3/4 the size of the older chickens, together this morning with the nearly 9 month old chickens. They have been living side by side of over 3 weeks. I build a coop & secure run within the existing coop & run so they have had plenty of time, 24/7...

    Ameraucana Roo's Crow!

    Our little 8 week old Ameraucana Roo, we have named him Rudy, sounds like a choking Roo when he crows. There is not anything wrong with him, that is just his sound. He started crowing a week ago and his voice is getting stronger but he sounds the same. We love his unique voice/sound. Do you...

    Two Boys!

    Went out to open the door on the chick coop, actually a sectioned off part of the main coop just for the chicks, and out step the little EE that I thought maybe a Roo. All of a sudden out came this sick little attempt of a crow. It sounded so funny & cute. Yup he is a Roo. Already knew the...

    At what age?

    We have twelve 10 months old hens feeding on layer feed. We have twelve 7 week old chicks feeding on grower. All 24 share the same coop with a chicken wire wall separating them and a chicken wired run for the chicks within the big run. So all 24 spend everyday, all day together. They have...

    Will the radio keep Coyotes away.

    Had a thought and I am trying it. Since Coyotes have excellent hearing, I put a radio out where the girls are free ranging, Country Rock. Loud enough a Coyote should hear it but low enough that the girls can hear each other. What do you think, will it work? rocmoc n AZ

    It was a Coyote, NOT a Hawk!

    A couple of weeks ago we lost a hen the first time we let the girls out of the covered run. Since we have so many Hawks & Eagles, we thought it was one of them. But today with the girls out catching grasshoppers, their first job not laying eggs, I heard them sound the alarm. I ran to the...

    Lost one of the girls today!

    If you read my Chicken Econ topic you know I spent a fair chuck of change because we have a ton of Predators. The primary job of our chickens was to control the grasshoppers and secondary was eggs. Well the grasshopper have gotten bad enough that finally let the 14 girls out today to do some...

We are getting average of 1 dozen eggs a day yielding 30 dozen a month and chickens are...
