    Sudden Chicken Death Syndrome?

    I feel so bad for all of us. One of my hens just a year old was fine yesterday morning. I checked them throughout the day as I normally do. When evening came I thought she might have hopped the fence, just to my front yard, and still couldn't find her. She apparently laid an egg and dropped...

    4 chickens, 17 eggs in one week

    So I had what I thought were five chickens but one started cock a doodling at 2:00 am so he was taken to a farm where he was wanted and I'm thrilled he wasn't killed. We got our first egg on Christmas Day, our first real egg. The day before we had two thin shelled and then one egg that was...

    introducing a new coop

    Just want to say thanks for all your good advice. I bought my girls a new coop and wasn't sure how to get them to go in without my help. I put them in one day and when I returned they were all sitting on the ground complaining. I will take all of the good advice and use it.

    DO I NEED TO CANDLE THE EGGS IF I PLAN ON EATING THEM

    5 months and counting

    I trust 6 months is about the laying time. I know this sounds pretty dumb but what is a nesting box. They have wooden boxes inside their coop and it's got pine shavings on the bottom. Do they need something else? And of course I'll put a fake egg down. I really know "0" about raising...

    San Francisco girl moved to Louisiana

    So hello everyone. I was born and raised in San Francisco and recently moved to New Orleans to help my partner's family as her father is not well. Long story short, I am now the proud mother of 5 chickens which I purchased the day after they were born. They are now three months young. Messy...
