Thanks. I am planning on getting her a friend. I am also working on how to keep their feed separate.

Thanks for all the advise so far. What is the danger for the goat to eat chicken feed?

We have a hawk stalking our chickens. I know that if you are caught shooting it you can lose your house. As my DH says, and I sadly agree, we are not going to lose our house for a $10 chicken. I know it has to eat too but I still don't want it to be lunching on my chickens. I heard that if...

My sister did the hot sauce in the egg thing when her hens were eating their own eggs. It worked and we joked that she was seasoning her chickens from the inside out.

I have been getting the tiny eggs for a few months now from my girls. I'm pretty sure they are from my BR. I didn't know they was a name for the odd sized eggs. Mine have no yolk when I open them, is that the way they are supposed to be?

One of my BO girls has toes on both feet that look a lot like your pics. We have always called them wonky toes. She also has a shorter beak on the top. We call her our special ed chicken. She keeps up with every one else and lays eggs just fine. I think she just has trouble sitting on the...

I have had my first flock of girls for a few months , 3 BR and 3 BO. (i'm not sure that 6 chickens count as a flock but oh well.) They have been great. My question is besides clean water, feed, and shelter are there any basic needs I am missing? Do they need vaccinations, worming, check ups...

I am trying to post the picture but I am not having any success. It is on the Upload page but I don't know how to get it atteached to the post. Any direction would be appreciated.

I have 3 Barred Rock and 3 BO. The girls give me 4 or 5 eggs each day. Today I went and let them out and found these 2 eggs in the same nest. The little one is only an inch long. This is the first odd thing they have given me and I'm not sure what to make of it.

Well, after being removed from her nest and spending the night with the rest of the girls in the coop, my BO is acting like the rest of the flock. I haven't caught her back on the nest she had the 14 eggs stashed in. I guess she is over it and no one else seems to be acting weird. This seemed...

My girls started to lay their eggs in my flower bed. I thought they were mad at me for taking their eggs so they were hiding them. I thought that I had been told to put golf balls in the place where the girls should/used to lay to remind them that is the spot. It worked and they have been...

I have 3 BO and 3 Barred Rocks. One of my BO has been disappearing and I thought she was gone for good last night when she didn't return to the coop at dusk. I checked the yard last night and early this am and didn't see her. She did reappear in the coop mid morning and was sitting with the...

My girls started the same thing a few days ago only I didn't realize it. I had been getting 5-7 eggs a day and then a few days ago I only got 4 eggs for 2 days then 2 eggs for the next 2 days. No one was acting sick so I was more confused then concerned. Then I discovered 9 eggs in the flower...
