    Review by 'D from Quincy' in article '"Hentirement"'

    Excellent Article! I only have Two Back Yard Divas and I love them. They are over 3 years and definitely slowing down in the egg laying but a while ago their egg laying went from the reason I have them to just a bonus. I appreciate your story because I wasn't sure if bringing new chick's home...

    Update, my girls are doing good now. They went back to the roost on their own and one of them started laying again this week. I'm so relieved. Thanks all for the help.

It seems like she's just going into it. The first chick that went into it lost almost all her feathers and a lot of weight. I thought I...

    Sleeping in Nest During Molting

    Thanks to this sight you all have enlightened me that my chickens are molting. Thank You, so now that I know I've been cutting them slack. They have been cuddling up and sleeping in their nesting box. I have been cleaning out the poop on a daily basis. Will they snap out of this habit after they...

    THANK You! Its crazy how much I love my chicks. Your Response, with others, have made me at Peace. I'm making salmon for the girls today. And will stop consistently asking them "are you ok?" Like I said, a little Crazy but feeling so much better with this advice
