We keep a ceramic egg in most nests at all times for the occasional snake that gets in. Typically, end of that problem.
However, we just lost a couple of ceramic eggs over a couple of days with a smaller egg count as well. I figured another snake or two got them. When adding new eggs, I...
She is a 4 year old golden comet but the first time I recall seeing one assume the shape of a ball. No extended neck, walks stiff and slowly and I now have her eat separately (but still in sight of the flock) as she eats a little, rests and then eats some more. No one is picking on her. But...
We wanted a fence to keep chickens in (7' high), not trying to keep predators out. The arrangement is visually pleasing as the fence is basically not seen once you are about 15 feet away from it. It is easy to put together and relocate as necessary...
I have a unidentified Golden Comet, 2-1/2 years old, eating, drinking and acting normal. However, one of them is leaving a wet spot in a nest most days that appears to be similar to egg white. Sometimes a little, sometimes a lot. There is no evidence of yolk or eggshell so I do not believe...

A woman brought a very limp duck into a veterinary surgeon. As she laid her pet on the table, the vet pulled out his stethoscope and listened to the bird's chest.
After a moment or two, the vet shook his head and sadly said, "I'm sorry, your duck, Cuddles, has passed away."
The distressed...
I have found that when editing my page, some of the text change to being underlined for some reason. This is text that I have not touched or edited. What does this happen? Am I accidentally clicking something? I can place the cursor on it and it does not show it as being underlined but it...
My wife is concerned when she sees this brown spot on an egg. She won't eat it. Would someone tell me what it is? I suspect it is normal even if it occurs on a very small number of eggs. Thank you in advance.
