    Same age pullets, one not laying yet

    We have 5 hens. 2 Rhode Island reds, 2 Easter eggers and one white leghorn. All but the white leghorn started laying within 3 days of each other and we get 3-4 eggs a day. Usually 4. 2 green and 2 brown. I know the leghorn isn't laying as her eggs would be white. We got them as day old October...

    Having trouble with dirt run(smell)

    I have 5 16 week old hens (no eggs yet!). They have been outdoors in their coop/run since the first week of December. Up until now the dirt run has been ok. No smell. It is 16x10 feet and enclosed but not covered. I am in southern Nevada with clay type soil and we are on 1/2 acre city lot. They...

    Neighbors have a rat problem

    They chewed some pipes and flooded their kitchen. A big problem. Exterminator possibly blamed the chickens that 2 of the bordering houses have (myself included) but the other chicken family says they wouldn't have caused them but that they of course will eat the feed. Mine have only been...

    How early to tell if it's a rooster?

    we bought hens but of course they said 95%. We have six of three different breeds. One of our white leg horns is significantly behind the others in developing wing and tail feathers. I'm thinking she (he?) may be slightly younger. However, there is more growth than any of the others in the comb...

We have 2 Rhode Island reds (they love me already), two amaracaunas(they have taken to my 12 year old daughter quite well) and two white leghorns who aren't very friendly yet but I'm working on them. I am...

    New to this, desert specific questions about run bedding

    We have one week old chicks and are building the coop this weekend. We live in Southern Nevada on a 1/2 acre city lot. We are allowed chickens and neighbors have them. We do not intend to free range them as we have a well manicured yard and we just don't want them destroying it and don't...
