Quote: Thank you for the link. I hope it will help. I found out I had been misinformed by my chicken caretaker, the hen has indeed been sleeping in the nesting box. Mystery solved. When I get home this weekend, I will try some of the methods of breaking her of this habit. I will probably put a...

None of the hens are sleeping in the nesting boxes. One goes in there during the day, probably when she lays her egg, and then poops in the box on the eggs. She has done this three times already. As I am currently working out of state, the hens do not get let out until the afternoon when a...

For the past couple weeks, one of my hens has been using the nesting box as a bathroom every few days, all over the eggs and everything. Is there any way to make her stop?

I have eight golden reds that have started laying around labor day. Yesterday was the first time they all layed in the same day. If this keeps up, I will soon be buried in eggs. lol.

Recently there was a wind storm at my house which knocked a lot of small almost ripe pears down. The person taking care of my chickens while I am away said that the chickens have been pecking away at the pears every day and really love them. I wonder if the pears are good for them or just a treat.

The eggs were laid at all different times of the day and I'm sure they all haven't started yet. The eggs are not all small, even one of...

WOW, I live in Concord in Erie county, and I never even thought to check the rules on having chickens. I just assumed since my neighbors have them that it would be ok. Maybe I should check. Where do you find out that info?

Here is a current picture of the girls:

20376 + 8 = 20384 golden reds

Hello everyone! I moved from Buffalo to a more rural area five years ago and have decided to try my hand at raising a small flock of hens for the fresh eggs. I picked up eight newly hatched chicks from a local feed store at the end of April and have been busy all summer building and improving...

Thank you.

Hello. At the end of April I purchased eight chicks from a local farm store. The only information they could tell me is that they are called Golden Reds. I was wondering if anyone could tell me which breeds were crossed to produce this type. Here is a picture of the hens at eleven weeks old...
