Hey Folks, Have had issues with 5 older birds eating the odd egg, when they decide to lay as it is.... We've tried the soap in the empty egg thing, rolling egg nests, and they still seem to be able to get at them.... Thing is, I have 5 new girls scheduled to come in a couple of days and...

Hey Folks, Realizing it's winter and all, but we've had a complete egg shutdown for a few months now and getting harder and harder to dissuade my spouse from introducing a pot into the equation when we talk chicken... I've tried the extra light supplementation, they've been getting loads of...

Hey Folks, Bought some “used” Easter eggers off Kijiji for sale site. Beauty birds, but after a month, still no eggs. I realize moving them in January and with only 2 birds in the existing flock, they may be a little stressed. Thought perhaps a couple of weeks with no eggs should be expected...

Hi Folks, Just took delivery of 3 Ready to Lay Sex Linked birds yesterday, and Mom's looking for her first egg. Any idea when they would start laying? I do think a day or two to recover from the transport stress is allowed, but hoping for eggs to start soon. Should I take the axe out and...

Hi Folks, So far, we have almost a completed coop, built based on the Purina plans and have ordered 3 Red Sex-link Chickens from our local TSC for April 3rd delivery. My wife and son love eggs and one of our clients brings them in regularly so we decided, as a family, why not our own...
