    Ruby (golden comet) is 16 weeks old today. On Friday I noticed her staying in the coop more when everyone else was outside in the run. I got excited because I thought she might be checking out the nesting boxes and planning to lay her first egg. When I went out to shut them in for the night...

    New Easter Egger doesn't know how to eat food, has closed eyes?

    Hi all, I recently decided to add to my flock, so I purchased 2 chickens, a silkie and an easter egger, from a guy on Craigslist. In retrospect, that was a bad idea from the beginning. Since they've come home, I've noticed that the silkie bites me, bullies the EE, and dominates the food, eating...
