    Chicken is a freeloader!

    I don't really mind that she's a freeloader, she's beautiful, but when can I expect her to start laying again? A few factors: She's a Brahma x Buff Orpington. We had her at a few months old in Spring. She laid around 15 eggs and became broody. We let her hatch out chicks late July. After the...

    Egg Laying!

    Hi all, I posted back in June (I think!) that my lovely little runner or mix Peaches stopped laying. We are pretty sure she is still not laying almost 4 months later which is a little concerning. She is such a happy duck, she roams and forages all day, has access to fresh food, drinking water...

    No Eggs+2 New Girls--Is This Normal?

    Hi Everyone! Hope you're all doing well. Our tiny flock (5 at the time) mostly stopped laying around Halloween. We had one hen who was still laying well, but everyone else pretty much stopped. We had a bit of a "perfect storm" of factors, so I wasn't surprised: 1. No supplemental lighting. We...

    Pecan Tree Run

    Oh wow, when I had my contractor build a chicken run across the back of the old chicken barn that came with my small country house, I was intimidated. I thought, now I've gone and done it. It's built with heavy timber centers and 2x4s, has a metal skirt buried a foot and a half into the ground...

    Age help

    At the beginning of August, my bf and I purchased 10 Barred Rock laying hens. We were told they are only 2 years old and that they were currently molting. That being said, we knew eggs were going to be few and far between since they were molting. Well, it’s been a long while and the feather loss...
