    What is quietest breed? Please help.

    My wyandottes dont make very loud noises but they do chatter. I only have 5 so it isnt too bad but live in the city with neighbors about 20 yards away. My girls only make a bunch of noise if they dont get to free range very long or right after they lay. My neighbors actually LIKE the sounds they...

    First Eggs! ohhh, well darn.

    Thanks! Just asking, why shouldn't i mix it in with the food? I got my chickens when they were pullets and they were never given treats so they're a little scared of anything different. They wont even eat lettuce or grapes!

    First Eggs! ohhh, well darn.

    2 of my 5 blrw have just started laying and we got 3 healthy eggs out of them. Then I went on a overnight trip with my class. When i got home there were 2 soft shelled eggs waiting in their coop. These weren't just soft, they were clear and felt like water balloons. I threw these out. All of my...

    Should new pullets stay inside the coop for a few days?

    I'm getting blr wyandottes pullets today and we still don't have our run completed. We live in town so we can't let them free range but could watch them while they free range. My biggest question is if the pullets should spend most of the day inside the coop to get to know it, or if they should...

    Run with or without top Please help!

    thanks! We live in Ohio and we can sometimes get up to 18 in. of snow. We have the swingset (imagine a T) that is very sturdy. I was thinking we could go from the barn to the swingset (up) the down to the ground, kinda like an a-frame house. Really if we do that with heavy gaged wire we could...

    Run with or without top Please help!

    we were using super heavy 1/2 in. weelded wire for the coop but i think we will use a LOT lighter wire for the run. should the top be something like a 2" by 3 " and then the sides should be like a 1" by1"? Im a little confused.
