    Need help convincing...

    Dad is the primary one against it. He thinks that because I am starting college that I won't have time to take care of them properly. (I do own the chickens - they are my primary responsibility). They are about 3 1/2 years old now. I am doing college from home and am mature for my age so I...

    Question about feathers.

    Is there a way that I can just pluck one or two tail feathers off without hurting my girls too much? I am hoping to dye the feathers to sell as hair extensions. Any thoughts or suggestions?

    Help!

    Thanks so much! It worked!!! . Bessie is doing great! The egg actually wasn't a double yoker. It was about 3/4 the size of an average egg. I guess, being a newbie, it was tough for her or something? Is there anything more I can do to make the next egg laying experience as stress free as...

    Help!

    One of my hens just started laying yesterday. Earlier I noticed an egg hanging out from her rear. Will she push it the rest of the way out on her own or do I need to help?

    Rabbit and chickens?

    My chickens live contentedly together in the coop and run. My rabbit is in a cage by herself. Will it be safe to put her in the chicken run with the chickens during the day? If so, what is the best way to introduce? I also have a rooster...will that be a problem?

    Is my hen broody?

    My hen just started laying this past week. When I let them out of the coop, she stayed in one of the nesting boxes. I was able to get her off. Just a few minutes ago, I went out to check on her and she was back in the nesting box. She crackled at me when I tried to shoo her off. Has she...
