    Laying Egg with no shell

    I too found a rubber egg today. Not in the nesting box but in the litter in the hen house. I am not sure when it was laid. I am assuming that it may have been yesterday because it was covered with ants. Then today I had a new egg, different than all the others. I have six hens and I had...

    Breeds that lay in 100+ degeree heat

    I can see that my hens are also adapting well to the heat. I may have to make the dusting area more desirable. Our land is very rocky in an old creek bed with lots of river rock. They have dug up so many rocks it is unbelievable. They then find enough dirt to make themselves filthy. I have...

    Breeds that lay in 100+ degeree heat

    Gosh that is really reassuring. I was hoping that it wasn't hurting them. Today will be 108 and tomorrow 111 so I am providing ice water in their waterer every 2 hours and misting the yard at the hottest part of the day. They are in the shade of trees all day long but it is still so hot here...

    That is so true. Since they were about 12 weeks old I wan not sure I could teach an old chicken a new trick. :-)

    Hi from Arizona

    Thanks for the help friends. It is getting pretty warm here already and I am afraid they may get dehydrated. I have the whole day off Monday so I think I will make it my mission to get them trained. I'll take the watering dish away and give them no alternative. It's nice to know there are...

    Hi from Arizona

    I am new this year to chickens. I was over come by desire in January to get some chickens. I read everything I could and felt confident that I could do this. Now I am 12 weeks into raising my mixed group of chicken (I was calling them my girls but one is a rooster). I have completed their...
