We were away for the weekend and a friend checked our girls daily. On Saturday afternoon, their food was empty, so she refilled. On Sunday, the food hadn't been touched, but there were 2 eggs! Our first from our 22-week black stars. Today we came home to find no new eggs, and the food barely...

I have a 10 week RR that I thought was a hen (I bought it at a local feed store as a day-old, and they all were supposed to be pullets). I have kept it separate from my other hens because they are several weeks older and kept trying to kill the chick. Anyway, they do spend time in the yard...

Thanks for answering so quickly...I'll keep watching them.

I have been perusing these boards for months and have learned so much! We finally took the plunge, but... Yesterday I purchased 4 black sexlinks that were just delivered as day-old chicks to the feed store at noon. They were peeping and quite active all afternoon and evening...

Thanks for the welcome! I was wondering if they are raised from chicks in the heat, if they would kind of get used to it. I do plan on making sure the coop is well ventilated and that they have a covered run. My backyard faces west, and the afternoon sun just bakes everything this time of...

I'm new here We don't have chickens, yet! I am dreaming and planning though! I'm a bit concerned about how hot and humid it can be here for several months of the year. Also, it rains a LOT! So, whatever we do needs to allow for lots of rain water. I'm also new to gardening and other "back...
