    How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

    6 hens and 1 laying pullet gave me 7 eggs yesterday. The pullet started laying a little over a week ago and has laid an egg per day. My 6 hens can go from 2 to 6 eggs and anything in-between.

    Traumatized Chicken after dog attacked another. Panting, lethargic

    I just saw the rest of the post. Sorry to hear she did not make it. I've lost chickens due to dogs, foxes and even heat stroke. It's heartbreaking, especially when you look at them as not just livestock but pets too.

    Choosing a breed of chicken

    Leghorn will lay earliest and has the best feed to eggs conversation rate. I personally like Plymouth Barred Rocks. Mine lay almost egg per day and have easy going personalities. They can be friendly if raised from chicks.

    Traumatized Chicken after dog attacked another. Panting, lethargic

    Unless you witnessed the entire episode and are absolutely sure that she did not get attacked, I would be prepared to do an antibiotic treatment. Couple of years ago, I had 3 dogs get into my backyard and attack my flock. One cockerel who had no signs of damage was in shock for a couple of...

    Rooster Behaviors

    You just never know how a cockerel or even a rooster will turn out. I had 4 who were brothers. When they were chicks and young cockerels, they were all very friendly. Then maybe at 1 year old, their personalities diverged. One stayed friendly. I could pick him up any time I wanted and always...

    The Moonshiner's Leghorns

    I have never liked coffee. I have always drank tea. Then about a year ago, I tried some Hazelnut and Cinnamon coffee with a good dose of half&half. It's all I drink now in the morning....but I still do not like regular coffee.

    My rooster can’t crow

    I don't think a human/chicken cross is possible.

    First eggs from my pullet

    I have a pullet, which I suspect was sired by a white Easter Egger and damed by a Mars-Bar and is 19 weeks old (4 months 11 days old). I just found 2 of her eggs today. I am not sure if I should classify her as a Easter Egger or Olive Egger, but I am ecstatic about her starting to lay. I've...

    Day 20, no wiggling anymore - help!!

    Just remember that a broody hen can be off the eggs every single day for an hour or so and the eggs hatch. I have one hen that goes broody at least once a year and she always took at least an hour for herself each day.

    Which eggs to hatch?

    I will just add this with regard to hatch rates and age, with a caviat that I only hatched a handful of times. When I hatched eggs that were under 2 weeks old, I got a hatched rate of 100%. Late last year, I did a desperation hatch and used eggs which were over a month old. Result - 3 out of...

    Question of the Day - Tuesday, February 24th, 2026

    I already have a chronic stuffy nose. Can I trade it for something else?

    Another gender challenge.

    To close the loop. Looks like the chick did turn out to be a pullet.

    Bad Behavior in free range roo

    I did see a video of a rooster rescue where they take in even those roosters who were used in cock fighting. It takes commitment but they do rehabilitate them. Basically, anytime a roo starts a fight he goes into a roo jail. Supposedly it works. Personally, I would not have the time nor...

    Formerly “head rooster” was overthrown by a younger one - now hides all day and won’t eat!

    I have multiple coops. My suggestion would be for you to build another coop. It does not have to be large. My coops were opposite ends of the same fenced-in back yard and then a third tiny coop in the middle and surrounding with its own fencing. This was my setup for injured chickens.

    Nesting boxes & coop

    I was just about to ask this exact question. I am in the process of building a nesting box for a newly built coop and started to wonder how separate nesting boxes compare to those attached to the coop or built into the coop. I am taking the attached to the coop approach. The hens will have an...

    How do you name a chicken?

    My stepdaughter named most of the chickens. I only named 2 Plymouth Barred Rock hens - Roxy and Rockette ...because I am extremely creative :lau

    Worried about mail order chicks with usps slow service

    I ordered 10 chicks from them late last year and they also took 3 days to get to me. However, all the chicks were healthy and I had zero issues with them. Not even a single case of pasty butt.

    Thinking about switching from a manual coop door to an automatic one – what should I watch out for?

    Just a word of caution about the automatic doors available on Amazon. Couple of years ago, I bought 4 of them. I have only used one reliably during that time. I did start using a second one recently but originally it quit working after a few months so I put it away. Few weeks ago, I...
