Last night one of my white leghorn hens just absolutely would not go in for the night. She free ranges during the day and stays pretty much within the property boundaries at least until last night. She wandered WAY out this time and was cackling like crazy...I don't think she laid yesterday...
I'm freaking out here and just would like to know if anyone is dealing with high blood pressure. What do you do to help control it? Besides actual medication? (which I do take)
They say you can't feel it and there are no symptoms but I don't believe that that's 100% true. I can often feel...
Ok, I have 5 GLW's and 5 SLW's and it's looking like I'm gonna end up with 4 hens 2 of each kind. I know there is no possible way to keep all these roosters so I need to start deciding what to do here...one group is 10 weeks old the other 9 weeks. What do you all do with your extra roos?

My husband, bless his heart bought a blue cochin rooster roughly 1 year old, a red rooster (not sure of the breed), 3 japanese white hens and 4 japanese white roosters. As it stands everyone has their own home in very large dog crates but I hate the idea of having them cooped up at least...
