Anybody found a tried and true way to stop your hens from eating their eggs? This is the first time she's done this, but I don't want there to be a second. Thank you!
Ok, I just thought of something. Is there such a thing as a bantam Frizzle? I don't know about y'all, but I think that would be the CUTEST.THING.EVER.CREATED. I want a whole flock if there is such a thing.
You live in Kentucky? You got chickens? Well here's the hangout for all of us!
If you've got helpful local info, like vets, poultry shows, or just to let off steam, feel free!

Hey there!
Ok, just this morning, after the last 5 months of feeding and caring for my little chooks, I found 5 EGGS in one of the nest boxes! There is NO feeling like finding the first eggs.

Hey y'all!
I have an almost 5 week old RSL (red sex link) rooster that I have no need for. If he doesn't go to somebody, than he won't stand a chance. PLEASE take him! I really want him to live, and I would keep him myself if there weren't reasons against it. He is very sweet tempered, and...
Anybody else heard this question? Which is better: flake pine shavings or fine pine shavings? I went with flake just off the top of my mind, but it fine better? What do you think?

I have an RSL chick (Lucy) that I'm kind of worried about...
First of all, her wings don't appear to be growing. I have 6 other chicks and their new wing feathers are all the way down to their tails. But hers are only about halfway, or a little less.

Hello BYC community!
I need some help...
