    Is this normal??

    We decided to let one of our hens set on some eggs. There was a bit of trial and error involved as well as questions as to whether or not she was really broody.

    First time egg hatching

    Well, we've come a long way. We have dealt with unruly dogs, smelly coop, breed confusion and too many roosters. Y'all have been great in helping us through it all. Thank you!

    Dog is killing chickens.

    Help please. My 6 month old Akita puppy chases and kills chickens when I am not looking. I try to keep them separated but one got out of the coop and she got it. She doesn't eat them, but she does play with them to death. I would love to find a proximity collar that would shock her for getting...
