    Our first time letting our hen sit on eggs, lots of questions!

    Help! First, I know we are going about this the wrong way, so please don't scold me. We realized my favorite hen was hiding eggs about a week ago, so I moved her to a nesting box and let her sit. Well, now we clearly have way too many eggs in there as the other hens did not stop using it after...

    28 chickens and only 5 eggs a day!! What gives?

    I have no idea what I'm doing wrong, my husband will freak out if I have to start buying eggs again! I have a total of 28 hens. Let me start by saying that at least 12 are juveniles, I expect nothing from them for months. I have a few, maybe 6-8 that are legitimately in different stages of molt...

    Hi! This is my first go at chicken keeping, I live in upstate NY where the nights are starting to get chilly. Currently, my ladies have a big front wire-encased window on the front of their house. I keep it open at night for ventilation. It was 38 degrees here last night, tonight there is a...

    Why is wild bird seed bad?

    Please don't give me a lot of grief, I'm just starting out, love my hens and want the best quality for them. I have been researching and researching feed options for the winter, right now my flock free ranges with our kitchen waste as and end of day treat. As a family, we eliminated wheat and...

    Are spent grains okay for chickens, anyone feeding them regularly?

    Hi! There is a distillery near us that will give away their spent grains on a rotating basis. What do you guys think about feeding this? Anyone doing it? I got the idea from my neighbor, she picks it up from time to time for her pigs.

    Opinions on Copper Marans

    Hello! I am very new to chicken owning, but love it so far. I have 8 Red Sex Link and 6 Salmon Favorelle's. I am thinking of getting some young black Copper Marans. I live in a rural area with woods and grass for the hens, they run free during the day, have a shed that gets locked at night. I...

    Lethargic chicken, off feed, could I have poisoned them with Avocadoes?

    I posted yesterday about my 4 month old pullet, she was acting droopy, feathers fluffed, runny poop, and eating very little (did eat some meal worms). Today the poop looks normal, but she won't eat anything on her own, I am syringe feeding her yogurt/honey/olive oil. I was reading about all the...

    My chicken is just sitting around, feathers plumped and runny poop?

    My little Salmon Favorelle, who is about 4 months olds, did not go in the coop with the other girls last night, she was just sitting outside the hen house on the steps. I picked her up, put her on the roost with the rest of her family, and noticed she had stinky, runny poo caked on her butt...

    What is the appropriate sized flock for my chicken area?

    My chickens have a 10X14 shed for shelter, and an enclosed attached run of 200 feet. What is the ideal number of hens I should have? I'm worried if I have too many, obviously, they won't be happy. But, if I have too few, will they be cold in the winter? The shed is not insulated.

    A question for those of you that riase and feed mealworms...

    Do you give your flock anything else besides the mealworms? I am considering doing it, already have free range (in a 200 foot pen) chickens, they also get our table scraps and oyster shells. What else should they be getting?

    Can someone suggest a recipe/ prototype for homemade soy free feed?

    Hi! I am new to chicken rearing, started 2 weeks ago, so far, I enjoy the hens so much. I really want the best fro them, and for our family.
