    What happened to my hen?

    2 evenings ago I noticed our Welsummer didn't high up on the perch, instead she used the low one (under the nest box, it's there for when we have meat birds). Yesterday she only wanted to be in the nest box, didn't go out free ranging like our other hens. She didn't eat much and it was obvious...

    What's up with this egg?

    One of my hen has been laying an egg like that everyday. I think it's from a Barred Rock. Once there was a little hole in it too. Thin shell? If that was the case, why would it be the only hen laying thin shelled eggs? Thanks and have a beautiful day!

    Hello! I don't know where to go for it. Just realized it shows my name when I google it and I don't want that. Not used to be on a forum, I didn't know it would show. Where could I go to put a nick name instead of my real name? Thanks!

    Hello from the Great North...

    Hi everybody! I live in central Yukon but I'm originally from Québec. I had in mind to try out chickens last summer and was lucky enough to be able to "rent" 3. Which was a good deal for the other part and myself as well since they were so lovely! There was Flocon, my guess by looking at...

    Hardy, friendly chickens recommendations...

    Hello all! I was lucky last summer to be able to borrow 3 chickens. I loved them so much and I want to get my own now. I live in the central Yukon, Canada, so I need some hardy chickens of course. Good winter layers is a must since winter is long here. I'm thinking of having 6 all together. I...
