    can a dog guard chickens?

    my neighbor feels horrible about it and immediately said he would pay for more, even asked where he could get them, that's not an issue, they are only a couple of $$ as babies, it's just that it takes so long for them to lay. thanks for the input

    can a dog guard chickens?

    Hello, We had a hen house massacre on Thanksgiving day, our neighbors bulldog was loose and I wasn't aware of it, I let my hens out in the yard for their daily excursion.

    Eggs being eaten by other hens

    ok, so I got the fake eggs and put them in the nesting boxes, and i've dropped one in the floor of the coop. My hens haven't laid any eggs that I know of in about 3 weeks, I know egg production slows down in the winter, but I'm also wondering if because of the new hens it may have interrupted...

Today I went to the coop and saw an egg broken open and had obviously been eaten. Is there any way to break this habit? What should I do?

    Combining two groups of chickens - I can't take the stress!!!

    I'm having the same problem, I've had my pullets (2 mos old) living day/night in a dog kennel cage inside the chicken coop/run with my older hens for about one month.

    Is it OK for a hen to be broody?

    I dont see the need to put her in a cage seperately, i've got two other nesting boxes and am still getting enough eggs, i just wanted to make sure it was ok for her to do that all day, all night, doesnt seem to bother the other girls so i'll just let her sit i guess.

    Is it OK for a hen to be broody?

    I've had my 5 hens for a year now, only one of them is broody, she sits in the nesting box all day long. I havent seen her get out at all. The other hens go about their business, when i go to gather the eggs, she growls at me and tries to peck me. I can still get the eggs, and I dont mind, but...
