I have a flock of nine: 1 Golden Laced Wyandotte, 1 Barred Plymouth Rock, 1 Rhode Island Red, 3 Tetra Tints, and 3 Golden Comets. Two of the Tetra Tints have been raping my other girls. The Wyanotte, Plymouth Rock, and Rhode Island Red are a year older than the others and were established as a...

One of my hens laid her egg from one of the highest roosts in the coop this morning. Their coop is a shed, so it was pretty high, and obviously it fell and broke on the floor. It was one of my 16 week old Tetra Tints. One of them has already started laying and has always laid in the nesting...

What is the best way to store eggs? I only have 3 layers at the moment, so the eggs are just collected in our hands or pockets, rinsed off a bit with water, then put into the carton in the fridge. We eat a lot of eggs, so they're never around for more than a couple days anyway (I hear they...

My chickens are pretty affectionate towards me. I got my first three last spring. When I come outside, they usually won't run for me, but they'll peck and scratch around my feet and make "happy to see you" noises. Occasionally they do run for me because when they hear the back door opening...
