I'm having the same problem with one of my chickens, too. We have five Easter Eggers, four reds (we don't know what they are), and six too young to lay; no roosters. One of our reds has been losing feathers for months. She doesn't seem to be being picked on, she's not acting abnormally, she's...

Thanks. I figured there was a thread somewhere, but I couldn't find it.

Hey guys. We had a chicken who didn't want to leave the nest box, so we think she's gone broody. The problem is that we don't have a rooster, so she has nothing to hatch and we're not interested in expanding our flock at the moment. Now another chicken has joined her. Is the best thing to do...

We have had a few eggs like that recently, too. They aren't new layers (started around October) and I haven't been able to find anything wrong with them.

I can get you some photos. We have two red Australian Cattle dogs, Rocky and Ringo, who like to 'herd' our flock. When we first introduced the dogs to the chickens there were a few incidents of the dogs going after the birds as if to kill, but now the dogs seem to like having a job to do in...

We have two red Australian Cattle dogs who are about 60 pounds, and two little Jack Russel terriers. They'll chase anything out of the yard, but someone has to be home to watch them or they get in...

I have heard that if you add guinea fowl to your flock, that they will sound the alarm whenever a predator enters your yard and the flock will run to safety. Has anyone else heard of this? We've been having trouble with a fox going after our hens here. We can only let the chickens out when...

Thank you for the feedback. They do not have a run for them. We put a box fan in their coop, which has cooled it down considerably, but it's still too hot to keep them in all day. One chicken has been laying in the coop, but this morning I found four eggs in the bale nest they had made. I'm...

The first eggs we found! (Whole, anyways. We found one broken in the barn the day before this)

We have ten chickens who are all about four months old, and they have just started laying, but we are having trouble getting them to lay in their coop. So far, every day, we have found an egg in a little nest they made in one of the hay bales. I think there is more than one hen laying, because...
