Hi! Today was a very exciting day because it was our first day we have ever gotten more than one egg! We have 6 pullet hens above laying age. My speckled Sussex and silkiexbrahma were the only two laying, but today not only did I find two eggs in the boxes, one was a lot darker than any eggs we...
I have two coops attached via a run. Although, when I got the run I knew it would be temporary as I wanted it to be tall enough to add more roosts. I have 8 hens and 1 rooster, but they are completely free ranch and come in on their own at night. We have two HUGE spruce trees behind the coop...
Hi, I recently added two extremely sweet Polish Candy Corn pullets to my flock of four. I introduced them slowly, but as soon as I put them in with the rest of the flock they were definitely put at the bottom of the pecking order (which I expected), but my boss hens completely pecked away bald...

These are my two brahma crossed with silkie hens I recently got! (They just started molting) They look very different but we were told they were both that cross. Fuzzybutt (the one with the silkie feathers) is the sweetest thing, I think a bit younger than Tilly, which is the other one. She’s...
Hello, I have four hens.
One of them, a black sex-link, started acting very weird this morning. She’s usually very keen on running away from me (but then is great once I have her).
