In the last two weeks, there is only about one hen laying every other day. Before that we were getting 4-7 eggs a day. There are about 12 girls, different breeds, ranging from 1-3 years old. Any tips? It has finally gotten hot down here in Texas, but I don't remember this happening the last...

I have two peahens about a year and a half old. I believe one laid her first egg the other day. I have another male, but he is only a yearling so I know its not fertile. Im trying to figure out what to do with the egg. I know with chickens, removing the egg will promote more egg laying...

If i miss a day of egg retrieving, is it still ok to eat the eggs if there is a broody hen sitting on them? Does the heat from the hen change the egg? How long after the hen sits on the egg is it still fine for human consumption?

Anyone have any tips on gardening with chickens...or better yet how to garden without the chickens eating everything first! Are there plants/veggies that the chickens won't eat? I may not be able to keep them out, so are there good plants to grow in the garden that are beneficial for the...

Getting a male Great Pyrenees on Tuesday (9 week old pup). I need him to help guard my (ever growing) flock of chickens. I know he is currently with both his parents on a ranch with cattle, sheep, and chickens. Any tips or suggestions on training? Ways to make him a great LGD? Do not...

I plan on keeping my peachicks in a pen on my property for at least six months before letting them out to free range. Once they are free ranging, will i still need a pen for them? Do they come back at night to roost (like chickens) or do they end up making their own roosts up in th trees (or on...
