    Is my Rooster trying to lay an egg?

    Dr. Pecker has been climbing into nesting boxes lately and clucking/cooing like he is trying to lay an egg! Craziest and Funniest thing I have witnessed, chicken-wise. Has anyone else experienced this rooster behavior? (Or maybe he is just trying to show them how it's done LOL) On another note...

    Losing a Chicken for no apparent reason

    This morning I found one of my 8 month old Rhode Island Reds dead on the coop floor. When I first walked out to the coop it appeared as if she was just lying down in a dust bath. After a moment I realized she wasn't moving. There were no signs of an intruder, no signs of any kind of...

    Undeveloped Egg or Popped Latex Balloon

    At first I thought I had found a piece of a popped latex balloon while cleaning my coop floor (It was the morning after the 4th of July so I thought nothing of it and just tossed it in the trash). Then I found another one a day or so later, and another one this morning. I was concerned that I...

    Keeping cool veggies off the ground and accessible

    I just love this idea that someone shared. It keeps the cool fruits, veggies, grasses, etc. off the ground, untrampled, and roomy for all to gather around. I got a peck on the cheek this morning as I was bending over to gather eggs, from my Barred, "Ba-Gawk". I felt so special! (And a little...

    Gapeworm or Stomach Lining Issue

    I am becoming extremely concerned over the red mucus-looking red worm-like "things" I am finding in my hen's poo. I have taken these pictures in hopes that someone can help me identify this problem, and if they are gapeworms, what can I administer to my hens to get rid of this problem. Thanks so...

    Runny brown diarreah

    One of my pullets has been having runny brown diarrhea. I noticed this morning that there are red worm-like mucous "things" in it, that I thought might be little red worms. Read an article here that it may be stomach lining. I have been giving her yogurt, cooked rice, etc for the diarrhea but it...

    Does one have to do with the other?

    Since my cockerel has begun mounting my hens, they have stopped laying eggs. Does this have anything to do with their production? Out of 9 hens, only the one the cockerel is NOT mounting is producing every day. The others have produced nothing in almost a week now. Help me experts! Thanks so...

    My cockerel has started mounting my hens

    When I got my hens, I did not know there was a cockerel in the mix. I never wanted a rooster because I just wanted laying chickens. Well, Dr. Pecker has grown on me and is really very sweet, but has started mounting my hens. My concern is this....If I collect the eggs every morning, there is no...
