    Using a red light in chicken coop?

    Does it disturb the chickens to keep a red heating light in their coop when it gets cold? Also, at what temperatures do I need to use the lamp in to make sure they keep producing eggs?

    Chicken with a cold??

    Today one of my chickens seemed to have gotten a cold. She kept sneezing and was wheezing like she could barely breathe. I gave her some boiled eggs and yogurt and she seems a lot better and stopped wheezing. When I had gotten home that day, they were out of water, so could it have been...

    Chicken stopped laying eggs?

    Just now I checked my coop and again, there were five eggs, and the bottom of the nesting box was wet and covered with bugs. There weren't any shell pieces left, but I think one of my chickens could be eating her own eggs. I guess on the other days it dried too quickly for me to notice it. I...

    Chicken stopped laying eggs?

    I have six chickens and they all were laying eggs for about 2 weeks, but then one seems to have completely stopped laying, because now we only get 5 eggs every day. The one that stopped laying is a tetra tint, if that helps. Does anyone know why a chicken would stop laying eggs?

    I let my chickens out to foarage every now and then and they go out pretty far... how far from the coop will they travel? Also, are there any ways to keep them near the coop, and will they run away and never come back?

    My feed cost 15 dollars so I don't really earn any money selling the chicken's eggs. Does anyone know where I can get cheaper feed that's still healthy?

    Not really except for selling them, it makes them look shinier and cleaner.

    Chickens too thin?

    My chickens are about 18 weeks old and they seem way too skinny. Does anyone know the average weight and size of a chicken, and anything I can do to make them fatter and healthier?

    spots on egg?

    My gold comets just started laying eggs, and they have small white spots all over them. When the eggs get wet, they go away until they dry off. Will they always be like this or eventually will the spots go away?

    Squatting chicken?

    One of my tetra tint pullets, the one we think started laying eggs three days ago, keeps doing this weird squatting thing when I go near her to pick her up or something. She'll squat down with her wings partially spread open and holds perfectly still, and she doesn't struggle or anything when I...

    How many eggs possible per day?

    Yesterday I met a lady at TSC and unless I misheard her, she said her chickens would lay five eggs each every day! I was just wondering if that's possible, and if it is, how could I get my chickens to lay more than one egg each day?

    What type of chicken do I have?

    I got three red pullets from TSC, but all they said about them was that they were red pullets. They grew up to be dark brown. (you can see them in my signature picture thing) Does anyone know what type they are and what color eggs they lay?

    Which one's laying the eggs?

    I have six chickens and one of them just started laying eggs, but I can't tell which one it is. We think it's either a really fat red pullet who still has a small wattle and comb that I caught scratching around in a nesting box, or a tetra tint pullet with a huge wattle and comb who seems the...

    Feeding oyster shell and Layer feed to one chicken?

    I've got six chickens and one of them just started laying eggs. The first two were fine, but the third had a clear, soft shell, so we went and bought some layer crumble and oyster shell just to give her and have the rest of them on grower feed still, but how much layer feed and oyster shell do I...
