    Just got to 7 eggs out of 8 hens, production dropped

    Hi. It's been 15/16 years since I had chickens. So I've had to relearn a lot. I spend a lot of time with my chickens, observing their behaviors although I can't tell them apart because they're all Black Australorps and almost all of them look identical. I don't know whose who but anyway, lol. I...

    First Egg!!!

    I have 8 Black Australorps. They are 18 weeks old today and I was so surprised to find an actual egg in the nesting box. It's been a long time since I had chickens (about 15-16 years) and since getting these chicks, I was having a time with determining if they were all hens or not. New breed to...

    Are any of these Hens?

    Commercial Feed vs. Homemade Feed

    I used to be on this website quite a bit when I had chickens twelve years ago. Everything about raising chickens has changed like fodder and fermenting feed. I had access to a feed store back then, something I don’t have now. Nor do I have a car. My daughter works six days a week. I babysit my...

    Disabled and wanting to Raise Chicken's again.

    When I was younger, I was able to do more physically. And I had quite a few chickens back then. I'm 45 years old but I walk with a cane because I have no cartilage in between my knees. Normally I get shots in my knees but they get a little better during the warmer months, plus Covid. I'm not...
