    Bully rooster!

    My friend asked me earlier tonight why her new rooster was only picking on one of her hens. I didn't have an answer for her I just told her to separate that hen from the rest so he doesn't hurt her. Is it a show of dominance? Maybe she is slightly smaller than the other hens? I didn't ask if she...

    Top 5 best egg layers GO!

    A friend wants me to hatch a flock of chickens that will lay lots off eggs. I’m thinking I will go the mail order route because the summer heat has brought my own chickens egg production way down so I figure we can find a few cool breeds and some fun with it. I would love your suggestions.

    How fast can a hen become broody?

    My hen is hiding in some weeds that are growing in the chicken yard. It’s weird usually they lay an egg and leave but she is laying on top of this egg and is breathing heavy. I wonder if I startled her while laying or if the egg was already there and she is sitting in it. She’s my most social...

    Question about my hatch

    I just had my first hatch ever! 4 our of 8 eggs so far but only three made it. Out of the other four one seems to have a pipped shell. It’s day 22. If the others don’t hatch today or tomorrow is it safe to say they won’t hatch at all or should I stay patient?
