    Snake in nesting box.

    So I have a broody hen who is more than happy to allow other hens in her nesting box to lay eggs. I went to check on everything tonight and I found a black rat snake in the box. Why would she allow the snake in the box with her?

All 3 are 4 months old and they have been together their whole lives (minus the last 2 weeks). I put them together and, at first, they all seemed very excited and...

If I continue taking the eggs out from under her, will she eventually stop hanging out in the empty nesting box. I have been taking her out and placing her by the food...

    Young Rooster

    I purchased 5 chicks at the beginning of March from the local feed store. I live in city limits so I can only have hens, but just my luck, one of the RIR's is a little roo.

    I am new to chickens and I have I have 2 Australorps, 2 Black Sexlinks, 2 Americaunas, and 2 Guinea Fowl.

    Where to lay?

    So two of my girls started laying for the first time the day before yesterday. My americauna was a good girl and layer in the nesting box, but whoever else is laying has decided to lay on the shelf instead. I didn't realize anyone else was laying until I was going through my tools, and there...
