    Egg Bound?

    Hi folks, Tried to search and find my answers but had no luck; probably b/c I'm not quite savy with the site as I should be. My dilemma is I think I have an egg bound hen. She passed blood here a while back; bright fresh blood; but has since hot passed any. Her underside was kind of raw and...

    One of my girls is gone!

    Hi folks, one of my girls (my biggest girl; Miss Tip) was attacked last night just after dusk. When I went out just after dark to lock the girls up (b/c they always go back into their coop) she was missing. I called and called and she did not come; I knew something was wrong... I searched...

    Hawks

    Hi folks! Need some advice and input. Have had a hawk nearby lately. I saw her/him once and hubby saw him/her the other day. What is odd is the hawk is making a looooot of noise; so I cannot believe he/she is interested in the chickens at that time. Wouldn't think the hawk would announce...

    Laying in dirt

    Hi folks! My largest Maran (she is a big girl) is seemingly laying most of her eggs in dirt. When I find them they are most often discolored and I am wondering if they are healthy to eat. Has any bacteria possibly penetrated the shell during the eggs time in the dirt? She lays the largest...

    Hens staying out in cold rain

    Hi Folks! My girls seem to not be bothered by the cold rain. Hubby put a door on my coop with a cut out for access to the run and I close the door when it is very cold, rainy and/or windy. However, my girls are not staying in the coop but remaining out in the cold rain. They did go in the...

    Hens Behavior

    Hi Folks! I have what have been id'd as Maran hens (2) and 2 Rhode Island Reds. The Marans are much bigger than my RI girls. My concern is the Marans seem to be getting pretty dominating and I saw one actually peck one of the RI girls on the head this morning. One of my Maran's (Ms. Tip) has...

    Was cking some things on the back porch and in the yard and decided to take a look at my chicky girls at night. When I shown the flashlight in the coop they were not on their roost but huddled next to the door. Does anyone know what could be causing this? I am posting pictures of my coop and...

    Help ID my chickie babies please!

    When I bought my two black chicks at TSC I was told they were Domniques; but they don't appear to be that breed as they are getting older. They are showing no hint of black and white coloring; only predominately black except for the masking on their faces. They are about 8-9 weeks and both...

    Diatomaceous Earth

    Hi All! Hope you had a wonderful day; we had some pretty serious storms roll through here. Power was out for about an hour; was beginning to think maybe I needed to break out the generator and they came back on. Was a little worried about our chicky babies and their warmth. The storm cooled...
