    Is this normal?

    So I have some old laying hens and I just moved my 8 month old pullets in their coop not long ago. All the old ones are hunched up and the younger ones all are normal + energetic. Does anyone know what the issue may be with the older ones?

    Chickens dying of old age or illness?

    My family member bought like 10 chickens from some guy online. They were delivered to us and they were all low energy, pale a droopy combs. There are four left and this is the condition they’re in right now. The rest of them died. Is this an illness I can treat or did we get old dying hens? The...

    Egg sex experiment

    Has anyone tried to pick out certain eggs in order to get more or only pullets (hens or females)? I'm testing this out. I pulled out the eggs that looked pointed and kept the roundest eggs under my broody hen. They started hatching yesterday and I hope this experiment works. Have you tried...

    The Coop Light "Trick" WORKS!

    Five pullets, second night as a chicken keeper. Night #1 I had to grab each girl and put her in the coop by hand, and I sat there until the auto-door closed. A little stressful for all of us. So I did my internet sleuthing and read that putting a small light inside the coop before dusk will...

    Chicken Confessional: I'm a little scared!

    I hope some of you experienced chicken keepers can remember all the way back to your first foray into the world of chickens and perhaps sympathize with how I'm feeling. Or maybe I'm nuts. I'm a born and raised city and suburban dweller -- I've never been on a horse, held a baby goat, milked a...

    Where can i purchase a single ISA pullet?

    My count ordinance only allows me to have 5 chickens. I have 4 of different breeds. I would absolutely love to get a SINGLE ISA pullet, or day old or young chick. Most HATCHERIES have a larger minimum order. Anyone know where I can get just one? I live in Maryland.
