I have been told if they have room and somewhere to hide/get away it will all be ok. I do not have that kind of room, hence 5 birds in one area and one bird in another area - they tried to kill Peep when I was getting ready for Matthew, I thought oh come on they will get along - NO WAY - I had...

A couple always = 11. : ) What breeds are your birds? I have Blue Wyandottes - they started laying at 6 months old! Medium sized eggs, consistent layers except molting season.

I went through horse bedding like crazy the wind coming from all directions and stalls kept getting messed up . . . the poor chickens, I received advice to put sand down and then put down good dirt on top to help with drainage. They have a roof, but then again- wind was blowing so hard and from...

I just want to say I am sorry about your dog passing. I have a rooster, and some of the meanest hens there are I cannot figure it out!

Have to laugh! I would be too but cannot expand the way I want to!

Thank you cmom and Getaclue. cmom has a chicken empire! Love the huge runs that is what I want to do - I have 5 chickens. I will get sand, I had never heard of that and yes, MUSH is the word of the day. They have a dry area, the run is roofed at one end but when the wind blows the rain in...

Have not been on for a long time. Weather - rain, rain and more rain. Wet rooster is a terrible thing - he let me pick him up no fuss to put into the inside coop he was so miserable one night. Hens ran in after him. I would like it to dry out, pastures flooded and mosquitoes unbearable. I...

Is there anyone in Palm Beach County area that would like to home a friendly EE Roo???

Can someone tell me what breed? School teacher emailed me they are looking for a home for this rooster.

Awww. . . I had a talker out of my four chicks and she still makes a lot of noise. Maybe she needs to be a house chick? No, no, but it is sad and I hope you are able to sooth her. I have a brooder who only wants to brood but I live in West Palm. Let us know how it goes.

Beautiful!!!

Yes, all of my hens are pretty and my rooster is AWESOME!!!! He is my avatar picture but my avatar picture does not show. Thank you! My first Wyandottes. I had silkies, colorful bantams or RIR in the past.

I think they are definitely creatures of habit! : )

My nesting hen is sitting on a mix of her own eggs and the other hens' eggs - ha ha ha that's what they get for not using the nesting boxes. Seriously, it would be nice if they would follow suit and just jump in a nice clean box, lay their egg and leave. I do not nor did not plan on hatching...

I do feel better but you always wonder if maybe there was something you should have done. Martha is an awesome Mom her little chick adores her.

I have nesting boxes and two of my three hens chose to lay their eggs on the ground in the outside coop. The hen who used the box, well, she is the one who got to sit on her eggs. I pick the others up.

I remember when that happened. : ( Yes, Martha is sitting on 3 more eggs with one hatched and running around. I am thinking since they are not all hatching at the same time, she is not sitting enough. Be that as it may I am going to let nature take its course and will learn to be a good...

A catastrophe. No words other than sorrow for your loss and his family's loss.

I plan and prepare but never feel I have done "good enough". If anyone wants to share some of their ideas, please do!!

Lost a baby chick. It had started to peck out of the egg I saw it last night when feeding horses. Made sure Momma was not ignoring nest and/or baby chick that was hatched on Monday, and I went to bed. Woke up this morning, baby was dead inside egg with not much more pecked out than when I...
