This past year I began with 24 hens, had a wild animal some how break into their pen and killed 10! Then they were in a molt for awhile with no production for it seemed like forever! Then tragedy hit again and another wild animal got one of my hens just two weeks ago. I have been watching over...
Help my hens are becoming bald by their tail feathers...not sue what is causing it...however, I noticed two of my larger black astralorps hens still have all theirs and seem to peck at the others....are they causing the others to lose their feathers?
I have 25 hens, 10 red pullets, and 15 black astralorps...I'm getting about 15-17 eggs a day. I find it funny I'm not getting 25 a day yet they are all 5 months old now. What could the problem be?
HELLO! I'm all new to the chicken thing...my husband is more familiar with them than me, we moved here 6 months ago and have tons of room here in the country. We bought 41 chickens back in March, wow was that overwhelming!! We lost a few chicks right away, and a few more later on...those ones...
