    Airedales and Chickens?

    We get to pick up a3 month old Airedale terrier in a week. I was wondering if anyone had expereience with this breed and chickens. Supposedly they can be trained to leave livestock alone, but chickens are smaller. I have trained Carrine terriers, Yorkies, and Schnauzers to leave them alone...

    Has anyone mixed a silkie with an EE?

    While discussing with my daughter what breeds we would like to add to our flocks, she decided the best would be to add a couple of cute silkies that lay the cool EE eggs. I have a friend with both types of chickens, but she keeps them separate. I was just wondering if anyone had mixed the two.

    Thin egg shells

    I have noticed that my chicken egg shells seem to be much thinner that my friend's chicken's egg shells. I was wondering if it was because mine free range and hers stay in a run and only get the feed and a few treats. Both of ours get oyster shell. Mine get organic layer pellets, hers get...

    Chickens still sleeping on the ground

    When we first got our chicks they spent the first 8 weeks in my daughter's room. When we put them outside my daughter was worried about the coop not being cozy enough so we had a medium dog igloo inside the coop and they slept there. The plan was once they were sleeping on the roosts, I would...

    Will chickens hassle a tortoise?

    I have a friend who wants to start raising chickens, but, she is worried that they might peck at the eyes of her slow moving tortoise. Has anyone had any experience with both chickens and tortoises in the same yard?

    Silly chicken

    I have one 5 month old wyandotte that is a few brain cells short. She still hasn't figured out that she can't walk through the fencing and needs to go over to the door among other things. Today the silly girl keep going up on our porch by our glass door. I don't like poop there so kept...

    How old do eggs need to be to peel easily

    My son loves hard boiled eggs, so I was planning to put aside some eggs specifically for him to have hard boiled. I am a bit tired of cutting the egg in half and mangling it with a spoon to get it out.

    How long can a chicken lay eggs

    From reading posts every once and a while I will see someone mention a chicken laying 4 or more years. So I was curious which breeds seem to lay for the longest period of time? Or did you just have one special chicken that continued to lay for a much longer time.
