    Hen's age vs. Hatchability

    Hi everyone, I have an older hen. To be honest, I don't know how old, I just know her previous owner's mother said, "Oh, my gosh, is she still laying?". She is a beautiful, sweet hen and I want to have more of her, so I tried to hatch three of her eggs. None made it past about day 8 (judging...

    Rabbit feed OK for chickens?

    My daughter had a rabbit. Rabbits seem to die easier than chickens. Anyway, I have most of a bag of rabbit pellets. Is it OK for chickens to eat? I wouldn't switch to it completely, but give them a little a day as something else to eat.

    A good side to the pecking order?

    I was in my yard watching my cockerel and my pullet (the two on the very bottom of the pecking order). They were about 20 feet away from the rest of the flock looking for tasty eats. A pigeon decides he wants to eat in the same area. The cockerel isn't going to have it. He goes after the...

    This time, it was my dog, not the neighbor's. She had been around the chickens plenty of times, but I guess she was bored, got loose and decided to work them over. 4 - with minor or no injuries 1 - has been completely skinned on her left side (the "alpha hen" named Colonel mentioned here...

    Dog attack/Nuclear poop

    Day before yesterday, my neighbor's dogs (once again) visited my flock. The cops were called and I thoroughly bitched out my neighbor about leash laws and that if I saw their dog again, it would be killed. Anyways, they were able to get ahold of three hens. One was just slightly plucked, no...

    Snotty chicken

    Let me preface this by: I recently decided to get chickens after not having any since I was a kid (30+ years). About 5 days ago, my cousin gave me six hens to go with my single surviving pullet (thanks neighbors, for not following leash laws). Anyway, one of the hens is (I believe) an older...
