    10 Months Old and Molting?

    My girls absolutely love these mealworms. Great protein for them. I get them from Amazon and the company is located in FL. I think they are a good deal especially since they are not from China but right here in USA. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B005CSHL84/ref=ya_aw_oh_pit

    Coop sizing question from newbie

    Dang it! I'm a newbie and reading this post I just learned of the 4 sq ft per chicken for the coop. I have 4 hens and their coop measures 12 sq ft. They should have 16 sq ft minimum but probably more for them to be comfy. Well I either have to a) make a bigger coop or b) get rid of one of my...

    Run fence height

    I would put on some sort of cover mainly to keep out predators but also to keep them from wondering around when I'm not home to keep an eye on were they are at.

    Dumbest Things People Have Said About Your Chickens/Eggs/Meat

    I was telling a friend at work about how my girl, Nelly, just laid her first egg. He asked, "How many roosters do you have?" I said,"None." You've got to have a rooster. How do you get eggs without a rooster?, he said. I said,"Turkey baster. Every evening I line the girls up and squirt em." He...

    Does my Hen think that I'm a Rooster!?!?

    My girl, Nelly started just started laying on 8/26. Yesterday afternoon, I let all four girls out to spread their wings. I went inside the house for a minute and come back out.

    Is my coop the only drama filled one?

    I have all hens who got along great until recently. Just yesterday I noticed that my girl, Nelly, had a sore on her comb. It wasn't there the day before. The only difference is this week Nelly started laying. The others haven't started laying. I'm wondering if the others are picking on her when...

    She looks very similar to my little flock of Golden Comets except mine have lighter tail feathers where yours looks like dark tail feathers. She might be some type of sexlink hybrid. Very pretty!

    When do chickens lay?

    Yeah. I was really excited about it. She laid another one today! It is so cool. Now I just need to figure out how to keep my oldest son from wanting to cook them as soon as they are laid. All four of my hens hatched at the same time. What I have noticed is that Nelly's comb and wattle is a lot...

    When do chickens lay?

    My girls are 16 1/2 week old Golden Comets. I noticed last week, that when I petted their backs they would squat which isn't something that they used to do. I thought to myself, That was strange. So I searched around on Backyard Chickens (thank goodness for this site!) and read how they would do...
