    Chicken laying down often

    I have this girl that lays down often during the day. Is that normal? It also appears that her comb is pale. When she is up and about she walks normal. Pecks and scratches around like normal. I see her eating and drinking as well.

    No shell on egg?

    So I just watched one of my girls lay an egg that had no shell! What does this mean. I collected 12 other "normal" eggs today. Thankfully she wasn't in the nesting box because I don't want the others to start pecking their own eggs!

    Chickens eating dead mouse

    So my chickens are fighting over a dead mouse. They of course won't let me catch them to take it away. How concerned do I need to be about this?

    Disinfecting a coop

    So we just bought a house and are getting chickens this weekend. The previous owners built a coop and had chickens. Do I need to disinfect the coop before I get my own chickens and how would you do that. I don't want to get it too wet as it will not dry fast.
