    Is this a Rooster?

    I've had 2 different people say that they think this is a rooster, and this is the only chicken that I've yet to see in a nesting box. Hopefully someone will be able to identify this chicken for me.

    Chickens are vicious with shelless egg

    I was out next to the run a while ago and happened to see my 17 week old Barred rock squeeze a shelless egg out and the other 5 chickens jumped on it like crazy.

    Thank you, algae problem gone

    I can't remember who posted that putting a copper pipe fitting in your waterer would help control algae, but they were right. I put a 1/2" coupling in the waterer 2 weeks ago and haven't had any algae since.

    Nesting box cushion?

    I have 5 hens, one that lays an egg a day and 4 others that are not old enough yet. I have 2 nesting boxes that the one hen uses but she scrapes out all the straw or wood shavings I put in there. Is this normal? Should I even be concerned that she likes to drop her eggs on bare wood?

    Ebay question

    Seems a lot of you sell things on ebay so I thought I would ask about payments. Can you accept payment without using paypal? I have heard horror stories about paypal and would prefer to just accept credit cards or checks.
