    Molting hen attacked

    One of our six hens wanted to be a mommy really bad so she started sitting on all the eggs as if they were hers. Ever since then, the others would pick on her and peck her if she came out to drink or eat. Well she finally gave up on the motherly issue and began to molt. This sent the other hens...

    4H Project..Need help or suggestions.

    My girl has 6 RIR and they have been laying wonderfully. Her project is to try and determine which chicks are laying which eggs.

    First Eggs!!! A little early??

    My RIRs are only 3 1/2 months old and we found two eggs in the hen house today. My girl went crazy... One was almost regular size and the other was half that. I'm thinking they are from two different hens but does this seem early? Not complaining
