My two EE's are 17 months old and went through a moult around 6 weeks ago and have stopped laying. One laid a beautiful light blue egg and the other was a light olive colored egg. Does anyone know if they will start up again - I know they slow down after they get older but this is making me...
Darn coon! One or more just killed 2 of my hens about a month ago and now it is back. Freaked me out!!!! So now I set the alarm on my cell phone to go off at 8pm EST to remind me to close my girls up at night so this would never happen again and when I went out tonight I saw my girls outside...
One of my chicks from a recent hatch appears to be blind - what should I do? I think it sees shadows but it doesn't seem to see well enough to eat and drink. It is way smaller than the rest but I thought that was because it was the last to hatch. Now I am sure it is because it can't see the...
My BF had this weird feeling that he needed to check on the chickens at 6 this morning and when he got to the pen he heard something running thru the brush. He came back in the house and woke me to tell me both hens were missing with just some feathers, blood and a shell-less egg by the door...
I have what I suspect is an opossum digging and getting into the runs to eat the chicken feed. It must not be very large because the holes are only about 4 inches deep. Whatever it has not touched my birds. Any ideas on what this creature is? I started putting out scraps outside of the runs...
My boys need a new home - there are 2 of them. They are golden laced cochins - 18 weeks old. Email for photos and you would need to pick up in Midlothian, VA.

I have 2 of these & they are 14 weeks old. I can already tell they will be beautiful birds. I don't want to ship them if at all possible will do so if you pay overnight shipping charges and for the crate/carton. Please I need $10 each to cover what I paid for them when I thought they were...
I have 4 different age groups of chickens and need to figure out how to get them to all share the same coop. I have 3 Cochins that are 12 weeks (2 roos I believe - anyone interested in buying a golden laced Cochin bantam?) plus I have 3 that are 8 week old mixed standards (2 roos there also)...
I have a barred rock rooster and 2 silver wyandotte hens and I hatched out 8 of their eggs last weekend. But now I have 2 light yellow with chipmunk markings, 2 dark golden with chipmunk markings and 4 black and white with the dots on their heads which is what their parents looked liked when...
