And I'm at a loss as to why. I'm pretty sure she hasn't laid the last few days,(She's my only white egg layer) and yesterday she stayed in the nest box all day. Today she seemed to want to do the same, but I took her out and put her on a nice fluffy towel with food and water in the sunshine...

Major tragedy over here - a lesson learned very painfully. I lost SEVEN of my 13 chickens to my own dogs. My dogs spend the days in the house lately because it's been so blessed hot and humid here in Southern California, but are usually kenneled during the day. My ladies put themselves to...

My girls just started laying last week. The very fist egg was pretty big, but the rest have been what I would call a "Small" egg by supermarket standards. I've just finished using up my store bought eggs and brought my treasures out to make waffles for the kids for breakfast this morning. I...

I just picked up my first chicks! So excited! We've been thinking about raising chickens for eggs for quite a while, but purposely waited until spring to take advantage of all the locally available chicks. I picked up 6 naked necks at my local feed store and will probably add 1 or 2 other...
