    Do momma hens w/chicks lay eggs?

    I had a Q on my website from someone about a hen with chicks that she doesn't think is laying. The thought occurred to me that a momma hen probably doesn't lay eggs until she's "done" raising her chicks. Am I right?

    Six new MUTTS! Any guesses? PHOTO HEAVY

    Golden Sex Links... I think I may have a Roo.

    I purchased pullets on easter... the girls are all doing great, but I have suspicions that one of the golden sex links is not a pullet. As chicks, they looked like pullets should.

    I went to our countywide garage sale today. Not a whole lot to speak of, but I did spot a 2X2X4 galvanized water trough. It looked pretty solid, just a little dirty. So I made a deal for TWENTY FIVE DOLLARS!! Those things are EXPENSIVE!! Now I'm set for YEARS with a nice solid brooder to help...

    NOT a Dominique/Dominecker, but WHAT?

    I've been considering a Rooster for a while now... and have decided since moving to the country, that I would like to grow my flock. For two main reasons, I have decided to obtain a Roo. 1. For the added protection against hawks which I have not yet seen, but know do exist here. 2. So that over...
