    No eggs in over a month.

    I have 2 older hens and 10 pullets. 4 of them are about 26 weeks, the others are somewhere around 18-20 weeks. I also have 4 roosters that I can't wait to get rid of. Not one of them is laying. I had 3 hens that were laying and one died, I don't know why but since she died there hasn't been...

    Do they hold the eggs in?

    I like to let my chickens out into the run every day but it is not attached to the coop yet so once they are in, they are in. I can't always wait until they lay their eggs to let them into the run because I have to leave for the day. I noticed that on the days when I put them in the run early...

    Did she hide the egg?

    Yesterday while out in the run, one of my chickens started screeching to get to the nest box. She went in and sat and sat and sat and sat and sat. She would leave and come back but mostly just sat. I saw her for over an hour. When I went back to check on her, she came running up to me...

    Add her back to the flock?

    One of our chickens was missing for about 3 weeks and we found her in the engine of our truck. She seemed pretty traumatized, was skinny, no color in her face, comb etc. I've kept her separated after the first night (someone else put her in the main coop and one of my other chickens died the...

    Do your eggs change color?

    I took my carton of eggs out of the fridge for making breakfast and after awhile a few of them had turned all dark on top. I separated them and put them back in the fridge and then they went back to the usual color. Is that normal?

    Hen can't roost

    I posted in another forum about the hen we found in the engine of our truck, missing since April 1. She seems to be doing ok besides being skinny. She was stuck in the engine (the truck was driven!) and lost some feathers but only a few. Anyways. Last night she seemed to really want to roost...

    Why did my hen die?

    This morning around 3 am, I woke up and found my favorite hen dead. She was fine yesterday and fine around 11 or so last night. I didn't notice any strange behavior at all. She was my best layer, she was eating and drinking fine. She was out in the run all day yesterday with the chicks and a...

    Found missing chicken!

    One of our chickens has been missing since April first. Today when we started an old truck, it wouldn't run right. They opened the hood and there was the chicken! Skinny and hungry but seemed to be ok. I thought she was a goner for sure! I think someone got pics, I'll try to post them later.

    Huge difference in size - pic added

    These are my first chickens and they are about 3-4 weeks old. I got 7 chicks (now 8) and they were all around the same size. A few were a smidge bigger. I was told they all hatched within 5 days of each other so I figured the slightly bigger ones were the older ones. Well now they are IMO...

    New to Chickens

    Hi all! I've been reading here for a few weeks. I've wanted chickens for several years but finally live in a place where it would work. They were legal at my old house but only with permission from neighbors and I had one that wouldn't even let my kids play with a ball in our yard so I knew...
