Out of curiousity are the eggs that the chickens lay safe enough to eat raw ?

Paleo Star commented on 29 Feb 2016

+bbetros Yes! I've been eating raw eggs for 9 years. I wouldn't eat raw, conventional eggs from the supermarket though :)

how often should hens produce eggs?

Paleo Star commented on 02 Jan 2016

+Leonard Schofield It depends on the factors I mentioned in the video, but also on their breed and their age. Some chickens lay one egg a day, others produce 1 egg every 2-3 days and others produce about 1 egg per week. Thanks for watching!

I hope to add chickens back into the fold here at the farm this spring. I lost 14 birds to an owl a couple of year ago. Chuck

Paleo Star commented on 02 Jan 2016

+Fensterfarm Greenhouse Wow, so many birds. We had a rooster that got so scared when he saw an owl that he had a heart attack. Their new house is great though; very safe from predators at night :)

What's the life expectancy of a hen?

John Suscovich commented on 21 Apr 2016

+paola Argueta They can live a decade though they'll most likely stop laying by then. I keep laying hens around for 2 years.

this just started when we got ride of our roster do that have anything to do with it

Joe Day commented on 30 Jan 2016

It shouldn't make a difference *unless the rooster kept the ducks from being aggressive and bullying the hens....if your ducks have put themselves at the top of your coop pecking order over the hens,then yes in an indirect way I would say it's possible it threw off the dynamic of coop pecking order.If the ducks run them off the feed or nesting spots or chase them,this is a pretty good indicator...muscovy ducks can be pretty aggressive like this in my experience.good luck!

catdog Brody stone commented on 29 Jan 2016

hi my chickens stoped laying eggs in the nesting boxes. is it because my ducks?

Joe Day commented on 30 Jan 2016

could be,especially if the ducks are dominant in the pecking order over the chickens...hens gotta feel somewhat secure in their box to take the time to lay an egg,if ducks come by and they see them as dominant/ aggressive they will spook off their nest and end up laying eggs wherever they may fall.

Joe Day commented on 29 Jan 2016

So comb and wattle color indicate nothing as far as laying condition?another question that I gotta ask is does this pubic bone measuring formula apply to only young pullets/hens at the beginning of their laying career?. ..does the space between pubic and keel bones go back to being narrow in an older hen that has stopped laying?This would be the most helpful for alot of people trying to cull out the non layers in their mixed age or older flocks I think.thanks,great video!

James Wagner commented on 29 Jan 2016

I have the same question.....essentially, can you use this method to determine when to cull them out of the flock?

Yeah, they are much better! More vitamins and less fat. And another upside too it, is that the chickens aren't treated cruelly, like the chickens who lay the eggs in the stores are. :/ I only eat eggs from home owned chickens now. I am getting some of my own soon. My neighbor has a lot of eggs so she is always giving me a dozen or two. :)
