    Tractor Supply or Family Farm and Home?

    I live in northwestern PA and I have two places near me that are selling chicks. I've bought from Tractor Supply before and the chicks were really healthy, but I went into a Family Farm and Home today and they had a lot more breeds available and were a little cheaper. Does anyone have...

    No eggs, now no shells

    I have 5 layers (3 Barred Rocks, 1 Black Copper Maran, 1 EE). The EE was laying just about every day through the fall and into the winter (it's been really mild this year), but we got a cold snap in January and she stopped laying altogether. My others slowed around that time too, but in the last...

    What breeds do I have?

    I have three Barred Rocks, and four assorted girls I got from a friend. Any idea what breeds they are? The one dark pullet has feathering on her legs, the other does not. The lighter of the two reds is laying blue/green eggs, but the other three have not shown any sign of laying yet. I'm...

    Doubling the Flock

    Good morning, I have three 7-month Barred Rocks. I'm adding three pullets (not sure yet of age or breed). The original three have a coop they return to each night. I built a bigger coop in the barn that can accommodate at least 6 chickens, but I'm wondering if I should try to get the older...

    All flock feed

    I have three layers and four young pullets. I'm feeding them a non-GMO all flock grain mix from an Amish mill, mixed with layer feed for the older girls. I can't get a refill of the all flock feed until next month, so I'm looking for recommendations for a couple pounds of something from a store...

    Male or Female?

    Seven weeks old, from TSC "Rainbow" bin, all four look just like this, so I'm either really lucky or really unlucky 😆

    Beginning to lay/eating eggs?

    Hello, My first three hens (Barred Rock) are 20 weeks old. In week 19 one laid an egg in a nest of her own choice, then for about a week she laid in the nesting box in the coop. I tried keeping them in the coop longer in the mornings, and that was working. Then one morning we found them pecking...
