    egg laying and stress

    I know I don't need him for my hens to lay, but will the stress of him being gone disrupt the egg laying for any length of time?

    egg laying and stress

    I'm culling a mean rooster next week and need to know how much stress this will put on my hens. I will have to take him of the roost because he cannot be touched without a fight, besides my hens need a break from this monster.

    Hen stress?

    I will be culling a real mean rooster next week. How much stress will this cause my hens? I will have to take him of the roost as I thought that would keep the stress down. Will they continue to lay as normal? I know that I only need him to fertilize eggs, but will his disappearance shock them?

    Finally I am getting the coop built!! Still in progress.

    Quote: Its a combination of time and money. I dont have the money for all the materials right now, and I dont have the time to wait. So by getting the inside done first, I can get the chickens moved in, and finish up the exterior after they are in. I do plan on insulating the walls before I...

    Garden beside chicken run?

    My coop is also next to my garden. I have had no problems with this set up. There are two things that I really like about the set up: 1- every time I weed my garden my chickens get some fresh greens.2-any passing bug that happens to wander from one side of the garden to the next must pass...

    Why?!...Two chicken questions that I hope someone can answer

    I'm glad you asked these questions because I kinda thought my birds where a little slow. I too would give them fresh water and they would fight to be the one to drink out of the new puddles or want to eat the food that had been rolled in the dirt a few times. They will stand in the rain, but...

    Do roosters help with integration?

    I have watched when my hens would fight one another my rooster would jump into the middle and break them up. He is truly a referee. He is mean but he treats the hens good.

    Tying a dead chicken around their neck

    After reading all the post there appears to be a group of people this has worked for. There is also some it didn't work for, and then there are those who know everything about anything who have never actually tried it (kind of like our government ) I say try it and see if it works! What could...

    2 Adult laying hens 4 eggs per day....every day.

    My first group of chickens I had 1 rooster and 2 hens. On many days I would always count on 2 eggs without fail, but on several days I would find 3 normal eggs in the box. And yes he is a rooster.
