    Something stole my plastic egg! Then put it back!

    OK so I have been pretty sure we have an egg eater in our little flock of 4 for the past two weeks. I go out an hour or two after hearing one of my white legghorn's egg songs and there is no egg. A few days ago we found one broken shell at the other end of the run far from the nesting boxes but...

    Frightened Easter Egger Pullets

    We raised our first three hens from baby chicks and all grew to be friendly easy going girls. Sadly two were killed by a hawk over the winter so we bought two 4-month-old white leghorns and two easter egger newborn chicks. I assumed the leghorns would be skittish due to the breed and getting...

    Easter Egger without a beard?

    A few months ago I ordered two Easter Egger chicks from Dare 2 Dream Farms. There were some bumps and miscommunication with delivery so I'm a little uneasy.

Between the old laws and an unfortunate hawk attack I've got one lone Barred Rock (lonely, not laying since she lost her friends). My two 4-month-old White Leghorn pullets are due to arrive in a few days along with 2...

    LONG Time Stalker

    I thought I signed up many many years ago but apparently I never actually did. Now that I think back, whenever I had a question I usually found the answer doing a search. Well anyways. I'm currently down to 1 lonely Barred Rock , thanks to a hawk. I'm getting ready to add 3 or 4 girls now that...

    Chicken in mourning or other reason for no eggs?

    Egg production from my 2 1-year old chickens slowed down then finally pretty much quit around December. We didn't add any extra light in the roost and weren't worried knowing we'd get more eggs when the days got longer. Sadly about a month ago a red hawk killed one of the girls while they were...
