Really great article. I recommend buff orpingtons and brahmas. Very sweet chickens with great personalities. Very friendly.

I think they are pullets

We researched many different breeds of chickens. We decided we would get "chickens of fate" We went to the feed store a certain day, and whatever breeds they had we would choose them. We wound up with a buff orpington, and easter egger, and a brahma. Later we got austrolorp. All of these breeds...

Buff orpington-because they're sweet Brahma- sweet, great egg layers Easter Egger- great eggs, fun personalities Jersey giant-always wanted one Maran- just because Faverolles- bearded chicken!

I am also in the path of the hurricane, although not directly on the coast. I'm most worried about the wind and branches falling from the trees, so I am bringing my chickens inside

Fascinating info. thanks! I've shared a picture of my Easter egger's blue egg

I still love everyday going outside in all weathers and letting them out of the coop. Hugging them, and giving them treats. Collecting eggs to eat, changing food and water, and cleaning the coop. Then putting them to bed each night. And it's been three years so far.

I have a chicken who gets a messy vent area that sometimes needs cleaning. I use a little bit of Dawn and water

I found that a couple of sticks for perching and an old DVD hanging up was a lot of stimulation for chicks. Plus hand feeding them and picking them up once in awhile.

I always enjoy learning more about my chickens. Great article about their eyesight

Looks like my Easter Egger Cadbury. She lays light blue eggs

I give them dried mealworms in the winter when insects are all hibernating. They are free range so they find plenty of food on their own.

I think a way to make money would be to build chicken coops. A good quality coop would probably make a great profit. Too bad I don;t have those skills.

Wow! That's huge. I've tried growing carrots for 3 summers, no luck

That cat looks just like my cat Pikachu! He was an orange and white tabby cat. Sweetest most laid back cat I ever had.
