I am so sorry lazy gardner, losing one of our babies is so hard. I lost two ladies to a raccoon this past summer. Heartbreaking.

Close call today. As I was cleaning the run and watering the chickens a huge hawk I think or maybe even an eagle swooped down right behind me where the chickens were scratching around. When I heard the chickens squawking, I turned around and saw this humungus bird flying away. I didn't see a...

Does anyone know if it is normal for a molting hen to have runny poop?

So sorry about your girls, Debby. I hope they show up. My Millie went missing one evening and came home the next afternoon. Hope the something happens for you. Heartbreaking.

I boiled the little shell-less egg to feed it to the girls this morning. It was perfect except no shell! Found it in the middle of the coop. not in a nesting box. I was gone all day so they resisted eating it for the day. I love my ladies!

My little Alfalfa laid her first egg! A softie, but an egg... what should i do with it? is it edible?

I have two new bared Plymouth rocks. Maybel has laid 3 eggs... last week. One was in the run, the others in the nest. Nothing since. Anyone else have a girl tease you with a few eggs, then slacking? Could it be the heat?

Oh maybe the heat, its been up to 90 the last few days... my older girls spoil me with an egg every day.

Recently I bought two point of lay Plymouth Barred Rocks. Maybel began laying eggs in the nest last week. She laid two, took a day off and then laid 4. She hasn't laid an egg for three days now! Anyone know what gives?

So cute, she reminds me of my little Alfalfa

Here is a picture of my new coop. I have a 20 x25 fence around it as a run, plus the small, covered run you see in the picture. The girls spent the first night last night in it together. It was so cute to see them all together on the roosting bar when I went out for beak count...

Thanks, Ronott. I am getting a new bigger coop Thursday too, so maybe that will help.

Last week I introduced two new 6 month old hens to my existing two one year olds. There has been a lot of clucking, chasing and head pecking going on, and I have tried to stay out of it, mostly. I especially feel bad for poor little Alfalfa at the very bottom. She is not even red in the face yet...

Thank you!

A friend gave me one of his 1 year old RIR. Rosie is not sad anymore but agitated with the new girl. I just caught wind of a closed Facebook group that someone told me there was a post selling two chickens in the area. I messaged each of the administrators explaining my suspicions, and asking to...

Oh I thought so. I am trying to pick up a buddy for her but the guy hasn't called me back

I had a little flock of three and two went missing yesterday. How bad is it that the last one is all alone?

Got my fingers crossed!

I noticed the other day that my Austrolorp Aretha was going broody. So I went out yesterday and bought a dog crate and put her in solitary last night and today. I felt so bad for her while I was at work... When I got home I let all the girls free and she has been happily playing with her ladies...

Hi there, such entertaining reading, I don't usually keep up but every now and then read about 10 pages.My RIR is a beast when it comes to laying! She began in October and has laid a very large egg, sometimes a double yolkier every day except for maybe 5 days since. My barred rock and...
