    Egg problems

    My free range flock of 6 hens and 1 rooster, most of the hens are less than a year old. Usually the yolks had been very large but sometimes lately they are less in size. Today one of the eggs had just a white yolk. Any ideas friends?

    Which one is the egg layer?

    About 2 years ago I replaced my free range flock with 3 Sexlink chicks. I have never been happy with egg production. Summertime it was maybe 1 egg every 2 days, now it slacked off to maybe 1 every 3 or 4 days. They only are out to free range for a couple of hours in the afternoon so I am sure...

    Why does my hen throw grass on her back?

    Almost all of my hens will show broodiness every once in awhile. One does it every month or two. When I take her out out to let her range with the rest of the flock she just lays on the ground all fluffed up. Then she proceeds to pull up grass and throw it on her back. I usually isolate her for...

    New from Jacksonville Florida

    I found this site by accident. It sounds pretty awesome. I live in the city, but my neighborhood is zoned open rural. My chickens would be considered pets I guess. It's nice to let them roam the property when I get home after a long day and just watch their antics. Hope to hear from members in...
