    loose yolk

    Any ideas of why some of my eggs the yolks are nice and firm but some of them are loose and just break so easily? It's hard to make a pretty fried egg when the yolk won't stay intact. comments anyone? and thanks

    rusting waterer

    My galvanized waterer like sold at Tractor Supply is rusting. Is there something I can coat it with to be able to continue using it? Or are these only supposed to last a year or two? Thanks for all suggestions.

    mice in the coop

    So, I have been reading here about getting rid of mice in the coop. I have the traditional mouse traps going and they are working somewhat but only a couple mice a day because I am not there to man them. I think I am going to build one of those buckets with water and a bottle some day soon. So...

    coral snake

    So I just saw what I think was a Coral snake out beside my chicken coop. By the time I put my dogs that I had on leashes inside it was out of sight. Will this type of snake hurt, kill my chickens? Will it steal eggs? I lost a chicken that appeared healthy to me a couple of weeks ago. I didn't...

There was some loose stool under her not looking real fresh but I am fairly new to this chicken mommaing and was concerned when I saw what I thought was...

    Roosterless flock

    Well my efforts to get a rooster for the last three months has been for naught. The last little chick I was raising as roo has turned out to be a little girl. So now in my backyard flock I have twelve girls. That is a couple more than I was orginally thinking of but you know chicken math. I...

    coop manure to garden

    So, who can tell me simplest. The droppings I pull from the coop each morning is about a pie pan full. I put that in a rubber trash can with holes in it outside the coop. What needs to happen to that collection until I can safely put it in my garden? Then when I clean out my deep litter out...

    Heartbroken

    That's me...heartbroken. A few days ago a Husky dog broke through (jumped over the fence) my chicken run and killed my chickens out there and squeezed himself through the pop door of the coop and killed the chickens in there. I am so sad. They were only nine months old and just getting to...

    gender

    This is my Buff Orpington that is about three months old. It was bought as a female. What gender do you experts think she might be? What do you look at to tell? She is a little different than the other three I have in the fact that her comb is larger and deeper red. Plus, she has been...
