Yeah, I know… Almost everyone loves eggs… but think about what the chickens had to do to make that egg… I think that is a tad bit disturbing. lol

I’m trying to train my chickens.

I want flowers and a veggie garden but my hubby wants the chickens to run loose because they lay more eggs when they’re loose. So what to do?

We live in a small rural town, and wanted to get a few hens to lay eggs for us to eat. Who can I contact to find out is we can own chickens in town?

I am puzzled! When I visit farms, there are usually about 30 chickens and only 2 roosters! Why is this?

what is the best way to introduce the chickens to the chicks so they’ll get along?

Me and my mom went to a farming store and we only wanted 2 chickens. They told us we couldn’t buy just two. We had to buy a minimum of 6. Why is that? It wasn’t just this store either. My mom called around and all of them were like that. We were told it was standard procedure?
We still got the 6 because we had the room for it, but is this legal?

Chickens came from South East Asia where there are still wild varieties living in the jungles. I know that Socrates made reference to a cock (rooster) to be sacrificed for him when he was about to be executed. Does anyone know of any earlier references to chickens by non-Asian people?

I have chickens that lay the egg then turn around and eat it. if I can’t stop them they will end up in the great roost box in the sky. I have been feeding them oyster shell but it does not seem to do any good. Please help!

I have tried to ‘move’ my chickens to the coop, but it doesn’t work. Please help.
