Hi all, for a while now I have been noticing my hens feathers have been getting a little thin around the bottom area, and that some of the feathers are turning whitish, (even the Australorps!) So I am just wondering if they are pecking at each other, or moulting, or what the heck is going on. My...

Hi All, Today as I was walking down to the coop, I heard a loud, high pitched honklike noise. At first,I thought the neighbor kids were tooting their bicycle horns. However, when I reached the coop, I found my eight month old white EE making the noise. I thought she might be sneezing, but even...

I am wondering if this is a problem or not. Secondly, my Barred Rock hen is molting at nine months, and she seems...

Hi, I am just wondering if anyone has tryed out wheatgrass on their ladys before. I always see it at the store, and I think they would loooove it. Also, where can you get the seeds? I'm going to try my local seed catalog, but they might not have it. Thanks

Hi! My Ameraucana might be laying, but I don't know. Her eggs are pale whitish leaning towards brownish green. She is a little behind schedule on development because the bigger girls used to have a problem with her. Everything is fine now, but I'm just wondering if she MIGHT be laying. thanks

Ever wanted a dry run? I know how you feel, but simple measures can solve the problem. I use thin contracters plastic, (The stuff they have on half built house when it rains.) I got mine at Lowes, but other places might have it to.
