Let's have your opinion. Who's the queen of the white eggs? My customers pay for the variation in egg color. More money for more color ya know. So let me know my friends

This morning my boy and I were collecting eggs and we found one of my oldest hens had passed away. She looked so peaceful her head still tucked under her wing as in sleep.I think she just went quietly in her sleep amongst her friends. I hope whatever afterlife hens may have is nice for her. I...
I have three roos but it's really just a choice of two one is a great giant Buckeye he’s a sweet boy and quiet and very docile while the other is a Silver Laced Wyandotte he’s a bit spicy and is a foul natures fowl if one every existed but here's my question if I'm looking for my guy to protect...
I try not to name my birds. I mean their lives can end in so many ways and I mean they are food themselves. To me none of that means I cannot be friends with them or show them love.
I bought chicks and 5 out of 15 have died they are living in a tractor supply broader and have plenty of food and water and I have watched the around-the-clock I want to know is this an unusually high number of deaths.
Well I’ve babied them to much but they are my buddies and listen better than wife or kids do. But long story short they won’t eat their food they only want what I’m eating and I’m not eating layer crumbles so they want them to. Also I’m not sure they would be fooled and would only laugh at me...
While I was on vacation I left my hens in the stewardship of my grown son and my two younger boys. They did not do it. After a week and a half of nearly no food or water my whole flock is molting and not laying. Is there anything I can do or are we done until next season. I don’t do lights in...
I have a hen with very persistent vent gleet. I would like to help her I have been bathing her and spraying her with Banixx. She doesn’t seem to be getting better, what can you, my friends recommend.
Her inside was all out she was in obvious pain. But I still don't feel any better about doing it. Had I been prepared to do so not just walked out to a bloody mess. Feeling pretty down.
I'm in Quaker Hill CT is there anybody else around here who might like to pal around and talk about chickens. I'm looking to do farmers' markets in the future maybe we could pool resources.
I have one hen with a poopy butt if she needs to be wormed can I do just her she is the only one and my ladies have just gotten through molt and are starting to lay again they were just wormed at the beginning of winter.
So I have almost gotten my ten hens through the winter. Now I want to add ten more. What to get, so many great choices. I am getting eggs from my hens and want to have some to bring to the local farmers market. So my friends ends what do you suggest. My flock is motley and mixed 2 EEs 4 RIRs 1...
When I started I had two roosters. I only had seven chickens and with two roosters it was a noisy time, my neighbors went into revolt. Amidst the pitchforks and torches I sold my roosters( I was surprised someone bought them as I would have given them away to a good home but the cash was...
One of my polish hens got sick and although I nursed her back to health she lost weight now she is at a disadvantage with the other larger hens. If I were to separate her what would be the quickest way to bulk her up so the other don’t pick on her
My hens have stopped laying eggs. I know it’s winter and the days are short. But my buddy who I have sort of a chicken raising partnership with is getting record egg production. They were doing good but then we had a hen get a cold and when I reintroduced her egg laying sort of just petered out...
