    Laying under roosts

    I have 25 6 month old Golden Comets. Most have been laying since 17 weeks. All were laying by 19 weeks. 2 weeks ago I noticed one of my pullets was laying an egg in the corner at the opposite end of coop (which is under their roost) from the nesting boxes. Then the beginning of the week I...

    Challenging/dominance?

    Yup sex-linked. They are all hens. This isn't the first batch I've had. Golden Comets are all I have ever owned and I have always used the same hatchery. In total I've owned about 200. I don't really baby them. I don't let them jump or fly up on me or let them climb on me. I don't really...

    Challenging/dominance?

    I have 25 Golden Comets hen that will be 16 weeks in 2 days. 5 or 6 of then are starting to squat for me and combs and wattles are getting bigger and more red the last week or so. But I've noticed the last few days that 4-5 others that aren't as ready have been either trying to get behind me...

    Going outside?

    I have 25 Golden Comets that are roughly 8 weeks (rescues). Their coop is getting awful stinky fast. Had to finally clean coop about 3 weeks ago for the first time (coop will hold 35 hens). But since then I've been cleaning every week. Are they old enough to enjoy the good outdoors yet?

    Rescue

    I lost my last hen just before winter. Seemed like with everyone I've lost I felt my heart wasn't in it anymore. Get very attached to my sweet girls! Fast forward to a week ago a friend of mine calls me. She has 27 Golden Comet chicks (which she knows I'm partial to) they rescued from a...

    Is this my rooster or hens cause injury?

    Both hens are 2 years old. I haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary when I am with them in the evening. I work all week but this weekend I could put her back in and hang with them all day.

    Is this my rooster or hens cause injury?

    I lost a hen last week to I am sure was attacked. Her belly was pecked of all feathers and most of her comb was missing. Now exactly a week later we found another chicken starting to miss some belly feathers and now feathers even on the from of her neck. I'm attaching a pic this time. We did...

    Attacked or sick?

    Came home to find one of my hens badly injured. She was just laying out in the run on her side. Most of her comb is pecked away and has all her belly feathers missing (or pulled),raw and bloody. It even looks a little bloated. Can't figure out if they attacked her or was she sick and...

    Broody Golden Comets

    For how long? Is there a way to tell she has stopped being broody before I put her back in? We have a 2nd coop that we use for new chicks that is currently not being used. Can I put her in there? Should I lock away both away together or do one at a time? In 4 years she is my first to ever...

    Broody Golden Comets

    I have been dealing with a broody Golden Comet! And now I have 2! We settled with Golden Comets because of their laying ablities and rarely go broody. We have been dealing with one being broody for quite awhile and now one of her sister's has started in. I have been collecting eggs multiply...

    Adding and separating flock?

    Well everyone is alive! We had more trouble with our mature hens. They won't let them in the big coop. The roosters actually haven't really bothered the mature hens but only when our big girls harass the pullets. They seem to stay on opposite sides of the run. I do have a mature hen I was...
