    What breed do you prefer?

    I was sold 3 Ameracauna/Easter Egger from local hardware store. I did not know they were one in the same. Owner said they were the same but would most likely lay green eggs. I am confused, I thought ameracauna was blue egg only and EE were green egg only. They are almost 6 weeks old now and...

    Chicken Breeds

    Are some chicken breeds hardier than others? I seem to have selected the fragile breeds. After a year of my new chicken keeper hobby, I have lost a Brahma and a Wyandotte. My Swedish flower hen recovered from a broken pelvis, recovered once from a bought of vitamin Deficiency and is sick again...

    I need a pro for this one

    I fed them starter feed when they were chicks and then grower feed and then all sorts of layer feed. My girls are 1 year and 3 months now. My easter egger has not layed an egg in 8 days. I think she is egg bound, but, I don't feel an egg. She is in the house away from the other girls. I have...

    I tried several different layer feeds, in addition to fruits, veg, flowers, worms, crickets, etc. They did not lay until I introduced Super Layer.

    I need a pro for this one

    Thank you Mary. My girls waited until they were almost a year old to start laying, and that was only after I started them on the 22% super layer feed and Mash. I was just worried that the feed and mash was too much for the girls. I can't take it when they hurt or die. Like all chicken...

    I need a pro for this one

    After a year of no eggs with 10 girls, I found a layer feed that was 22%. Feed store guaranteed egg laying with this feed. I am also added layer mash. Could this be causing havoc in the reproductive system? Is it too much? After 3 months I am having egg yolk peritonitis and egg binding...

    Hawks

    OMG, he is my hero too. Great job. Give that boy extra worms. He is earning his keep. We are in residential area and can't have roosters, unfortunately.

    Hawks

    I am so sorry for your loss. It is heartbreaking. My teepees are made of pallets and don't blow down in the wind like the first one I made out of sticks, twigs and leaf matter. Our teepees are pallets screwed together with feet to get it up off ground so the girls can get in any side very...

    Hawks

    I had a close call with a very large hawk myself. My girls were coming in getting ready to roost for the night and a very large hawk flew very low over the run checking things out. She was so large that I am sure she would have no problem taking a standard sized bird. I read on this site...

    hen spur removal

    I have a hen that has a spur curving upward to her bootie. I want to remove it so roosting will be more comfortable for her. Could someone more experienced give me more details on the potato method. I don't want to hurt her. I read to pierce hot potato with spur and twist off. Is it really...
