    Hawks and Poisonous Prey Colors

    Has anyone ever tried dyeing your chickens to protect them from hawks? I saw this article online and thought it might be a cool idea if it works. The logic behind the idea is that if your chicken is the color of poisonous prey (like brightly colored frogs) the hawk will avoid them...

    Keets in the Brooder

    I currently have 1 week and 2 week old keets in a brooder and I was wondering how long do I need to keep them under a heat lamp before I can move them to an outside pen? Mornings have been damp and chilly lately.

    Baby Golf Balls

    We had a hen go broody but I had no place to put her away from the other girls. There was one other hen who would kick her out of the nest every day to lay her egg. So instead of setting eggs under her I let her sit golf balls taking the eggs every day. She was so devoted to her golf balls that...

    What Is Normal Laying For A Pullet?

    My 20 week old BR layed a pretty little pullet egg, then skipped 1 day, then layed an egg, and now she has gone a week with out another. Is she laying normal for a pullet?
