    First Eggs!

    My three hens laid their first eggs, with out me knowing. They laid 24 behind a few bushes instead of their nesting box. Now I'm curious as to whether I should put their nesting box behind the bushes for easier maintenance or if I should leave the spot alone.

    Black Australorp Rooster

    My family and I bought 4 baby week old chicks about 3 months ago. We were told that our chances of them turning out to be roosters were slim to none, but with our luck we now have a rooster that we can no longer keep.

    Getting chicks to be comfortable with you

    My four chicks are a week old, I just bought them two days ago. This is my first time raising chicks and I want them to be used to me. Every time I reach my hand in their brooder all of them run away (except one who thinks any hand has food for her.) When I do hold the chicks, two of the four...

    What breed?

    I do not have very good pictures, but i'm curious about what breed my babies are? I am new to chickens and have no idea how to tell what breed they are, or much about the different chicken breeds. I got these chicks from Pet Club, but they did not inform us about them.

I live...
