My daughter found this egg today. 2.8 oz.!!!! It is 3 in long and 5 1/2 in. around. One of my chickens hasn't been laying for a few days. I guess this is why.....Ouch!
Is this normal... is she o.k.? She seems fine. They have only been laying for about a month.
Duh. That makes sense! She got caught under the 2x4 frame on the bottom. I usually move it mid-day or mornings but I will now wait. They are only 7 weeks and we are all still learning. Thank you Everyone!
So, I have the tractor finished and the chickens are all settled inside but when I moved it I mistakenly assumed they would move out of the way. They all team up in the back and stayed in the corner. Unfortunately, one of my girls was caught and I felt terrible because I went very slowly. What...
Wow! I guess my grandfather was right.....he told me my neighbors would throw my *** out of the neighborhood because of the noise. Thankfully, there is a family friend that is waiting for my little roos. "Crow all day everyday!"

I didn't do it. In the morning, I'm taking off the door and will try to fit it the right way. My arms struggled the first time so hopefully I can get some help tomorrow. Will definitely post some pics.
Thank you. We are in Georgia, so not a lot of snow but on BYC I keep reading about critters. That concerns me Greatly.....Ewww! I guess hubby knows best.
I just finished my chicken tractor but there is a small gap on the side door of the henhouse. Should I try to reposition the door to fit more snug or can I put something over it or leave it alone. My husband says it is fine but I cannot stand the thought of finding a snake or rat that have...
My daughter and I have 6 chicks about 4 weeks old that were incubated for her science class. We want to know the breed and which are cockerels or pullets. I have looked on BYC and think maybe EE or RIR but I am so inexperience that I change my mind daily. Please take a look and help the...
