    Please lay, please lay!

    Patience is sooooo hard with a backyard flock. We had to wait for 8 months before our BCM's started to lay. Some girls are just so slow to get things moving. You'll be doing the egg dance soon!

    We have 4 black australorp mix hens. The free range in a tractor and are also free loaders. These hens are 6 onths old and will just not lay an egg! I am obsessed with checking on my hens. I rake poop, compost bedding, feed them kitchen scraps and have discovered that urban small holding is...

    0/5 eggs! But one chicken was busted pecking feathers out of the bottom of my best layer (who bled profusely). Hopefully the blue-kote will help!

    Do I have anything to worry about? Should I buy a saddle to try and stop it or get some blue kote? Anyway to entertain a couple picky hens?

    Missing feathers - but why? No rooster!

    We purchased 2 layers from a very clean farm a couple weeks ago that were housed with a couple of roos. They were missing feathers above their tails, like you would see from birds who've been with a roo. We quarantined them, they seemed fine. A week after they were introduced to our 3 hens...

    Signs of laying

    This is going to sound super gross I know. But when one of my new hens is about to lay, she has a golf ball sized poop. Sure enough, within a day or two, we get an egg.

    5 hens in 1/4 acre pen--how is the grass going to look? *update!*

    I had a feeling that it would turn out! Looks great. Beautiful birds:)
