Question was: On average, out 12 eggs layed how many are roosters? His answer was 2. Does anyone know what the actual answer is? Apparently it was a very busy day at work. Lol! Thanks

Interesting story: we were driving to dinner last night and suddenly saw this poor chicken running across the street from the woods with a cat hot on its tail licking it's chops. My husband immediately pulled over and scared the cat away and this poor thing ran right to him like he was saying...

Farmer swore this was going to be a hen but I guess we can all be wrong sometimes! BIG surprise last week when he heard "her" wake up the neighborhood. Not sure if we can keep him or not so I was wondering what he was first. He is SOOOOO sweet and would hate to get rid of him :(

For sale is a 1 year old Royal Palm tom. Very sweet, guards my chickens from hawks as well! We also have a Bronze hen that just hatched 8 chicks this week so they are also for sale. We are just looking to downsize a little! My 2 little boys have loved learning about the entire process so now...

Been looking for my answer online but can't seems to find it exactly. I think I'm trying to find a day by day egg hatching guide when incubating eggs. Maybe you all can help! Say I have an egg that was laid on 3/10. I immediately brought it in and placed it in my styrofoam Little Giant...

Family is thrilled that our Royal Palm tom and Bronze hen might actually have sealed the deal! When gathering the chicken eggs in the coop we found our very first turkey egg and immediately wrapped it up. NOW what? Please help we don't have an incubator yet so we need specifics....light? Temp...

Going to the MIL's for dinner and she already beat me to making the deviled eggs :tongue So I was wondering if anyone had better ideas to bring as a side that uses lots of eggs that would be better than her store bought deviled eggs. Cannot let her beat me.....HELP! :barnie

The ol' timer we bought these 2 from said they will definitely be blue egg layers, and stated he knew this because he's been in the chicken biz for 40+ years. What do you all think? The black/white has slate blue legs, and the other brown/silver girl has bright orange legs. Neither of them...

I was watching Storage Wars last night and someone found a bunch of these in one of the lockers. Since I had a chicken pecked to death last year from an infection on her bottom it got me to think about how effective these might be. Has anyone actually tried these or are these more of a...

Hey all! Well the rats are in full swing this year. We've been killing them around our gutters, but today when i was cleaning out the coop I found rat poop all in and around their feed holder. I always let them free range during the day but still provide them with a little in the coop to...

Got 7 hens right now (3 Buff Orpintons, 2 mystery hens, 1 Ancona, & 1 Buff Brahma). When we got the Ancona last year it seemed like forever before she was accepted into the flock. Then it started all over again when we got the 2 mystery hens. I don't even think they were allowed to eat for...

At one time I had so many cute ideas for this coop. I wanted to paint a "window" with shutters on that front and then plant pretty stuff, put a litte weather vain on top and just clean up. But then last summer we discovered that the sun moves and just totally baked it and since there are no...

So I finally have chickens that accept my dogs and vice versa. My bird dogs finally romp and actually play with them but now there is a problem. I cannot stop them from eating every single "package" that my chickens make all around the backyard! I have them on heartworm preventative and worm...

Not sure if any of you remember this, but we acquired a chicken that fell off a chicken truck and has always had a problem with "battery butt." Seemed like she was starting to heal up and was even starting to lay eggs. Well, it appears the others went after her in full force last nite She was...

Land of the Free? Getting less and less and less every day in SOOO many ways. Very sad.... http://www.ajc.com/news/cobb/chicken-advocate-forced-to-1181884.html?cxtype=ynews_rss

Hey all! We recently acquired a chicken that was an escapee from a chicken truck. When we got her 2 months ago, she looked like the first pic. Then about a week ago, we noticed her front and rear change to a beige color. We gave her a bath just in case it was dirt, but then we took a pic...

Still trying to help this "little chick." Perhaps a few of you might remember her....neighbor found her at a rest stop in Mississippi and drove her back to us in GA (fell of a chicken truck headed to a factory). We've had her about a month now and she was doing soooo well! Someone told us...

Neighbor found this chicken while driving through Mississippi at a gas station last week. She knew I'd take it in so she drove it home. We put her in with our other 6 hens, but after a few days they started pecking at her and so we had to seperate her. Absolutely no idea what is wrong. My...

Hey all, I made a sad attempt at trying to get some yeast bread to rise last nite and failed miserably. It has basic ingredients in it so I was thinking it would be safe to toss over to the chickens, but I just wanted to check with you first. Thanks!!!!

Well we just had our first 90* day here in GA. I've only had hens since Feb, so I was wondering if there was anything I should be doing, feeding...etc any differently to keep them happy on their coop. I appreciate any tips in advance! Thanks
