    Tips for boiled eggs?

    I’d appreciate some pointers for the perfect boiled egg please. I was never great at store bought eggs either but these fresh ones are killing me. They just don’t peel no matter what method I follow. Tired of doing a dozen eggs and getting 3-4 usable ones 🙄 I do wash them first and have tried...

    Shelless egg?

    Is it possible to have an egg completely without a shell? When they eat them there’s usually evidence of shell pieces but not today.

    RIR odd color feathers

    I’m wondering if her pale feathers are her new color or is this maybe a molt? She’s been this was for months and it seems to get more and more pale. At first I thought molt, but there aren’t many feathers laying around. She’s a year old.

    She laid a cracked egg?

    First time I’ve seen this, girls are a year old. The egg was laid cracked, not all the way through. The cracks are a darker color. Is this odd?

    The girls like Timothy hay, is that ok?

    My 1 year old hens like botanical Timothy hay for rabbits and Guinea pigs, it contains a range of dried flowers. I always gave it to the pig and they dive in too, now that they are separated I’d like to give them their own. Should be ok right? I gave them some this morning before I started...

    Just some photos of the new chicken yard…

    Some of you saw my post about having to move the gals since they were eating my pig alive. They got along great but were constantly pecking him causing sores so they had to go and it was worth it! Rufus is happier and content. 🐷 I have the back end of the coop in my backyard so I don’t need to...

    Constantly pecking the pig…Is my only option to move them?

    So it’s been a year since 6 gals lived with the pig, they have options to get away from him but he can not escape them. There’s no fighting but they constantly peck him, it bleeds and then they keep going. He’s always let them “groom” him but it’s getting out of control with his blood spots. I’m...

    Weasel 😭

    All girls are fine, but I saw a weasel or ferret running off about 20 minutes ago…broad daylight. Now I’m frantically trying to figure out a solution. My BB gun is ready to go. I assume they can and will kill full grown chickens?

    Questions for Arlo camera users.

    My Wyze cam broke so I put in an Arlo, still getting used to the new interface. I’d like to see how others have the detection set up, as I always get recordings of every chicken movement, draining the battery. But obviously I’d like to be notified if there’s an intruder. I wish it would...

    Bald patch on stomach…molting?

    Noticed she has a bald patch on her stomach this morning. Hard to get a good photo. Eating/drinking and acting fine. She does has some poop smears on her bottom but vent is clean. Could she be molting? It’s been super cold here. I added whole body shots of her too.

    Purple egg white after boiling?

    I hard boiled some eggs and this one had smears of a purplish/brown on it. The yolk was normal. Curious as to what would cause it, I thought blood so I gave it to the dogs.

    Cracked beak 😢

    This gal has a cracked beak. Anything I can do? She’s eating and drinking fine still. The story…there was blood on top of their frozen water bowl this morning. I immediately went and bought a heated water bowl. I assumed someone tried licking the ice and got their tongue stuck (like in Christmas...

    Sleeping outside in freezing weather

    My gals (8 months old) are starting to roost outside their coop even in snowy/cold weather. This just started a couple weeks ago, they used to always coop up. Nothing has changed except the weather. Their run is completely predator proof. Is this normal? I even put a light in their coop since I...

    Bullying or illness?

    I just noticed today one of my gals (8 months) has missing feathers on her neck. I hope it’s molting…no rooster. No injuries but a big bald patch and several bare quills. I’ve never noticed any bullying but maybe when I’m not looking? Though I’m near 90% of the time. I don’t see parasites but...

    All night and most of the day in nest box

    My 24 week barred rock hen is starting to spend the majority of the day on the nest. The past 2 nights she has also slept there throughout the night. She gets up for a few hours in the morning, eats, drinks, forages and then back in. I sometimes see her panting in there too. She lays a good egg...

    Barred Rock hen is in love with me?

    My gal (21 weeks) is obsessed with me. I love it. When the gals were 3 days old one of them had pasty butt. Had to soak and rub her bum several times a day for many days. I said then that when she’s older she will either love me or hate me. I couldn’t tell them apart through those weeks/months...

    Define “free range”

    Is free range strictly no boundaries or fences whatsoever? When you see “free range” chickens, eggs etc… or is there a minimum acreage? Mine have a coop and run but during the day I open the run to a fairly big yard (130’x100’ approximately). We are fencing in our 2 acres this month and they may...
