    Best way to introduce... Welsummer to new sisters

    Wonderful. That's a huge weight off me. I want to do this right, because after Chicken keeping since 2017, I've finally fallen for this breed! Full size hens are for me. Bantams were full but these girls are 😃

    30 week (on Wed) Chocolate Orpington not laying

    Need help. (Chocolate Orpingtons are a rare reverse sex-linked gene and develop more slowly than regular Orpingtons.) My Chocolate Orpington is 30 weeks on Wednesday and still hasn't played an egg. Is this normal? When should I expect her to lay?

    Picture Of The Week (POW) Information & Submissions

    Picture Of The Week (POW) Information & Submissions

    There's nothing in her coop to play with. She won't even leave the upper deck area that's up high with a ramp. I've placed food in the far end of the coop to get her moving around but nothing. Great suggestion on leaves or grass clippings. I have perfect clean giant leaves from my neighbors'...
