    Insomniac Chickens?

    I got up just now to let the dog out. It’s pitch black still at 6 am here. I felt eyes on me. The chickens were all up. Quiet but apparently wide awake. I gave them warm water and checked the coop. They’re still very quiet like they know they shouldn’t be up. I’ve never seen them do this...

    Pullet Stopped Laying

    I got my six hens when they were all about two months old. They all started laying in early August, but now one of the hens has stopped. I believe she is a black Ameraucana. When she started, her eggs were very small, and a beautiful light blue colour. She would make a big racket at laying...

    Large Egg!

    Hi there: I am a newbie from Victoria, BC Canada. Thank you for hosting this site and letting me join. I waited many years to get chickens and finally took the plunge this year. I built my own coop and run, and stocked it with six 2 month old heritage hens. I thought it would be a chore...
