    Possible Throat Issue?

    I have a Barnvelder that is about 7-8 months old. She eats and pecks around and all the normal stuff but she stretches her neck out with her mouth open alot. She also makes a noise like she is trying to clear her throat? Anyone have any thoughts on this? I think maybe she isn't laying either...

    Botched Chick order

    I ordered chicks this afternoon from Cackle Hatchery. It was 25 easter egger pullets and 25 red star pullets. Accidentally I hit 'straight run' on the red stars and confirmed before I caught my error. I called them and they said they could fix it and it would reflect in my delivery...

    Ferns for Laying

    I have one hen that likes to lay eggs in my neighbors ferns. There are lots of them so I don't really know if she eats them or not. I would like to plant some in our chicken yard so that maybe she will lay there and perhaps some of the others can lay there also. Can anyone confirm that they...

    Sleeping arrangements

    I confess that I've been a little lazy about making the birds sleep in the housing unit. We've been letting them sleep where ever they choose; one sleeps on the carport. Two others sleep in a tree. Two have been sleeping on a window sill and a few actually roost in the coop/run where they are...

    Continual sleeping?

    A friend of mine has a barred rock that is roughly two years old. She recently started taking naps all the time. Not the occasional catnap that you would periodically see. I catch a couple of my hens dozing periodically. Apparently he catches her all the time. Standing in the yard sleeping or...

    What are the chances...

    ...if I out day old chicks with a cochin hen that she will adopt them? I'm about to hatch some chicks and would like to integrate them with my flock right away. I have two hens that hatched my EE eggs and the chicks are well protected among the bully girls. What say ye?

    No pics needed...

    ...to answer this. Are the offspring of an easter egger and any other variety of chicken always considered easter eggers from that point going forward? Thanks in advance for any input.

    Staggering a hatch

    I am going to put some favorelle eggs in an icubator and was thinking to minimize the amount of time storing fertile eggs in less than ideal conditions I could set what I have in 7 days and then place another set after another seven days. Have any of you done this or is it a silly idea? Of...
