One of my Easter Eggers gave us our first egg three days ago and gave us another today and for the last two mornings we have opened the coop to find a broken, Brown egg on the coop floor right by the door. I know it is not unusual for a brand new layer to...

    A watched hen...

    I know a watched hen never lays But I have 7 23 week old hens, a mix of Rhode Island Reds, Dominiques, Silver Cuckoo Marans and Easter Eggers. I have one mixed breed that is 8 months old.

    Close to laying?

    I have two RIRs that are 19 weeks old. I’ve noticed their combs/wattles seem like they’ve gotten darker red in the last few weeks.

    Will pullets lay fist eggs in winter?

    Separate brooders?

    Hi fellow chicken lovers, My husband and I will be getting our first shipment of chicks in a few weeks. We already have nine chicks that we have raised from about a week old but they were given to us with their mother so they have always been in the coop and she pretty much did all of the...

    Coop training new chicks?

    My husband and I are new to chicken ownership and need some advice. We have nine 9 week old chicks that were given to us by a neighbor. We went through the coop training process with them and after free ranging most of the day they will go back in the coop on their own as the sun goes down. We...
