    Favorite Hen That Lays Your Fav Color is?

    Absolutely! My favorite little hen, Ginger! She just went through a terrible molt and what I think was a bit of bullying (she is my only Averaucana in about 30 Salmon faverolles). Now she has started to come to the kitchen door again to say hello (aka treats). I do not have a photo but she is a...

    Goose Nest

    The Geese are late this year in nest making and egg laying (February 2026). Usually by now there are at least one or two nests. But every year, the first goose egg that is laid is followed by a chicken that decides to lay her egg in the same nest. Never a second, but it is so precious to see!

    Mama abandoned chick

    How did raising your single chick go? I incubated several eggs and only one hatched, at least so far. I have two more unhatched. I hope at least one hatches. Any thoughts about how your chick is progressing would be appreciated.

    Very good article, thank you. I have been feeding my hens oyster shell particles from an oyster farm in northern California in 50 pound bags for several years. Recently I could not find this particular product so I purchased a couple of products in small amounts which turned out to be...
