Hi! I'm looking at a possible house to move to in St Cloud, MN. The house doesn't have appropriate fencing for me to look into chickens right away, but I'd like to have them again someday - can anyone tell me if it's legal there?

I've noticed that the eggs I get from my own chickens seem to have a much higher percentage of yolks breaking the moment I break the egg to cook with it, than I ever got with eggs from the store. And sometimes when they do break, it's not like a yolk with yellow leaking out, it's just SMOOSH...

My honeybear and I are on a road trip to go pick up some cute chicks. We left Fort Worth this morning, and have gone through Texarkana and Little Rock, heading toward Memphis now. We are going to Meyer Hatchery to pick up our chicks Wednesday morning. It's annoying to have a trip where we...

SO - I'm supposed to be getting 4 new chicks from Meyer Hatcheries in September. I had NOT been happy with our results with the closest hatchery, and hey, lots of people get chicks by mail, right? No problem! AND now .... the post office is getting royally screwed over, and I've been reading...

Hey, I'd been looking for articles on disease and having a hard time finding them. I've now realized there's a separate section under the learning center for Injuries, Diseases, & Cures. However - if you go to the mobile site or use the mobile ap, that section doesn't show up under the...

We lost our first chicken recently, a one year old hen that my daughter just found dead one day, we hadn't seen any problems before that. My daughter is noticing that with our remaining two hens, she's seeing poop on the poop board that looks reddish. Any ideas what this may be? Is there...

Hello! Today my daughter and I were doing checks on the chickens - she holds each one and I take a check on their eyes, ears, comb/wattles, beak, then feet, then vent, just to make sure they're doing well. Tyra is a 1 year old black australorp hen. Noticed small black spots on both feet...

So my Easter Egger seems to be getting serious about being broody. How big a cage should I get for broody breaking?

We're wondering about our easter egger hen Cera, if she's starting to get broody, but it doesn't seem to be *all the way* broody. She's still laying eggs regularly. She floofs up like mad, and wants to spend most of her time in the nest box, whether there's an egg under her or not. She'll...

I am SO excited right now. Saginaw TX allowed chickens as of May 2018 - hens only, limit 3. That's when I went into SERIOUS research mode. We got our three chicks in late April of 2019 and have been happy chicken owners since. But 3 is not IMO a good number. It's pretty much the minimum...

I don't like to call it quarantine - because no one here is sick, and we don't have any known exposure, but we're certainly staying home and going out the absolute minimum - even groceries is only every 2-3 weeks. So I call it being cloistered. Last night Miles cooked a turkey breast for us...

Hey everybody! I'm back. Been off the site for months, just got caught up with my family life. The two teens in high school have been taking a lot of my attention. Our three hens are doing great, laying nicely and we love them so much. We're all cloistered due to the pandemic, of course -...

Hi there - I'm looking for citable information on flock size for happiest hens. My city only allows 3 birds, which I think is ridiculously small. It's also not much for providing eggs for a typical family with kids. Another city near us and similar allows 6. I'm considering going to the city...

So I'm a part-time indie audiobook narrator. This was my second recorded audiobook ever, it was recorded back in 2016. And delayed, and delayed, and delayed - I'd almost given up hope - but finally the things it was waiting one were done. And it's OUT NOW! It's historical fiction and...

They say that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. It's just that I read SO MANY posts and intros by those of you who are chicken people AND gardeners. And here I am, looking at posts about compost and figuring "well that doesn't...
