Just wanted to let everyone know that after 43 heart breaking days and a hard struggle my husband died on Dec 13,2016. Although he had Parkinson's he died from a sudden attack of uninary tract infection, pancreatis, and sepsis. He got sick one afternoon with pain in his stomach, went to hospital...

Did you mean sunrise?

If I use the spray do I have to keep the chickens out of the coop for a time, I don't have any other place to keep them.

I haven't seen any mites on my chickens, I only have two but I want to change the shavings and nesting material in my coop and need to know what I can spray that won't hurt my chickens. Can you tell me what to use and where to buy it. I just went thru a short period with soft shells and white...

I know this is a very old post but I found it very funny. We have lived in Pensacola, Punta Gorda, Fort Lauderdale and Miami. I know about those palmetto bugs. My daughter was terrifed of them. They would fly and hit the walls and chew up paper for a nest. Now 2016 I think they have made their...

Sat I had only one egg laid and it was soft shelled and broken. Sunday there were no eggs. Today there were two with better shells but still thin and very light colored. They have had oyster shells for two days now. I am hoping as each day goes by it will improve. Are the whitish eggs safe to eat?

Thank you for your answer. My chickens could be stressed because I have not been able to let them out since Monday. I let them out for a short while this afternoon. Maybe that will help a little. I was just afraid they might have some terrible disease.

Thank you very much for your answer. I bought some shells today. I was able to let them out for about 30 minutes today, then they went to roost. I only have two and have not had any strange chickens around. My daughter seems to think a coyote or some other predator may have come and tried to get...

I'm feeding layer food and just an occasional ear of corn, lettuce, bread and sometimes a canaloupe rind. They free range from about 5:pm until they are ready to go to roost. It is really dry here so I don't know how much good free range is doing them.

yesterday one of my hens laid a nearly white egg that should be brown. Today both of their eggs were soft shelled almost no shell. I had been giving egg shells and what I think is good food from Tractor Supply. What else do I need to do. I am going to get oyster shells but what else. If they...

Thank you, that makes me feel better.

When i gathered the two eggs that my two chickens lay every day one of them was almost white when they are supposed to be brown.This is the first time this has happened. Can someone tell me what may have caused it and what I need to do. The shells are very hard, I give them eggs shells that have...

Just a question. Do duck eggs taste like chicken eggs?

If people could see egg farms and how the chickens are packed in they would appreciate good fresh eggs from happy chickens. The egg farms get funny looking eggs also but they are taken out and thrown away. Would they drink milk if they saw how cows lick their tongues up into their noses and drop...

That's what lives in a big tree in my pasture. I will have to be more alert. I can usually hear him screeching when he is about.

Where does your granddaughter live? Do you live near Ark?

my daughter in law puts pictures on facebook for me.

Not sure if I am in the right place to ask a question about one of my hens but looked and couldn't figure where to post. One of my two chickens is missing pin feathers from her rump.I guess that is what you would call it. Right under her tail feathers when the feathers look soft and fluffy. The...

They look like speckled hen's eggs. Just a little out of shape.

Three year old little boys are so delightful! One day my daughter in law who lives in San Francisco was driving with her young son and he was singing. She began to listen and he was singing Sweet Home Alabama. She had no idea he knew the words. She had played it several times in the car. Of...
