    Shell problem dont know whats up

    Thank you for replying! The reason I get the layer feed is because some of my hen's eggs shells are so thin! Others are normal, and I am thinking this egg is from a hen who just lays occasionally so it built up? I also had a chicken in the past who suddenly could not walk and I researched...

    Shell problem dont know whats up

    One of my chickens, who only lays occasionally, delivered this egg and it looks even more dramatic in plain sight. I feed them pellets (or crumbles) and some scratch, it's really the only options around here, plus some bread crumbs and left overs, and even if I get the "layers' feed" which I...

    2 yr old rooster has gone psycho

    I'm no expert on this, but can make this comment. In summer when I let my chickens out of their coop in the morning, I wear a short robe, but in winter, when I wear my long one, I noticed it really bothered the rooster and he attacked me twice. It hurt! Then I got a big stick when I let them...

    Homemade feed questions?

    I tried the fermenting food route and my chickens ate out of curiosity at first, but then hated it. I couldn't wait till it was finished either! The thing that bothers me with the scratch is all the corn they leave behind and don't eat. It's either too large for them or they just don't like...

    What do you feed your 3-4 month old chickens?

    How do you ferment it? I did notice on the mash that they like it with water in it.

    What do you feed your 3-4 month old chickens?

    I have a question. Why do the chickens leave so much cracked corn behind when they feed? The squirrels love to come by for it, but I feel like I am paying for only half of what they really eat!

    Help! My Silkie Rooster is attacking me!

    So I am assuming from all this, that my attacking rooster, who has a couple of times attacked me and now two new hens, is protecting his yard? I so appreciate this forum for those of us who don't have a clue! I just need him to stop hurting the new girls I just purchased.

    Adding three new hens - and they are terrified. :(

    I have a large roo, a cockoomoran, and 3 hens and felt he needed more women, so I brought home 2 large red hens that I just purchased and my roo is wanting to attack them like the enemy! I thought he would get over it but not yet, so I have separated the 2 new hens inside the yard. A couple of...

    Does size matter?

    Thanks, that is what I am doing. I am just concerned because of his fear and attack from the last event, and wondered if he could overcome it and not take out his aggression on these lovely hens but become family with them.

    Does size matter?

    I am somewhat new at raising chickens and lost all my hens and their babies to racoons and/or other predators. A lone rooster has survived a number of hens. He is a banty as were all the other hens (that I loved). Anyway, someone offered me two more hens and so I took them, because they said...

    Comfort after loss

    I am finding many of these threads very helpful and comforting. I wanted to raise a few chickens for the eggs (city girl going country here) and then got three and got attached to them and thought I had a good coop, but a racoon ate them in a rather heartless way... It broke my heart and I...
