So sweet PDZ on floor, then pine shavings? I'm having a problem with my hens sleeping inthe nesting boxes I stead of roosts.

Yep, she's a hen alright! Lays eggs and all. I think she was spooked by a large crow that was crowing loudly in the tree. I guess the bloody hen thought it had better get in on the cacophony! Man what racket! When my wife called me to tell me about it, I could hear the crowing and cawing from...

What the heck is going on? Creating such a racket that the whole block can hear her! I guess no way to keep the fact that I got backyard chickens under wraps for now! Anyway, why the heck would they squawk and crow like that??

Hey Jmngrose...my wife just called me....my hens just laid TWO eggs!! According to her, the two are waiting at the door every morning, and as soon as the coop doors open, they rush out to the feeder and water container. They then eat and drink to their hearts content. At about 9.00 they go BACK...

Hello folks and thanks for the warm welcome. And yes, I did check out the page mentioned and whilst I didn't pore over every page, I did run a search with "Pitt Meadwos" and ironically, the Co-Op near where I live actually had a bunch of chicks from Iowa ordered in at one point! Unfortunately...

Hello folks: I live in Beautiful BC in a small town called Pitt Meadows and I would like to raise chickens mainly for their eggs. It was the wife's either really, and she got one of my young daughters onside and before I knew it, I was pulling out the pieces of an old torn-down doghouse that...
