    Odor issues

    Also wanted to add that dropping eggs off with neighbors occasionally goes a long way in making any kind of negative attitude disappear lol.

    Odor issues

    We live in relatively close proximity to our neighbors (our properties all join at the back corners right where our coop/run is). We have seven hens at the moment, have had them for a bit over a year now and so far no stink whatsoever. I keep straw or hay spread out in the run to keep mud from...

    Oh those are really beautiful birds! Congrats! Any pics? Filed your list - hahaha! I am envious! I don't think I have enough land to fill mine, even if I turned my entire property into chickenville lol. But, with the plan of a couple of goats in the works, that won't be happening.

    Wow! What a neat variety of birds you have! I hope the new development of the MDA inspector won't deter people from coming out to sell. I don't remember seeing hatching eggs there before (maybe I missed them) but that would be such a great addition! I can't even bring my entire wishlist with...

    Review by '' on item 'Easter Eggers'

    EE's are not a true breed sure, but they are favorites in our household anyways! Finding out what color eggs you will get from these hens is so much fun! No way to know until they lay though. I have heard many method people use to try to predict the egg color (e.g. "ear" color, feet/leg color...

    Review by '' on item 'Golden Sex Link'

    This is probably the overall best hen in my flock. She was the first to begin laying out of the breeds (EEs, Black Australorps, and Golden Comet) that I bought last Spring. She is my two-year old daughter's favorite hen and will allow my daughter to pick her up and carry her around with no fuss...

    Review by '' on item 'Australorp'

    I have a mixed flock of seven currently and two of them are Black Australorps. They are without a doubt the boldest of the bunch and will always be the first to rush me at the gate for attention and scraps. They don't mid at all being held and petted and my two year old (who isn't very delicate...

    Is Blackjack 57 safe?

    That looks really nice! We also did our floors and partially up the walls. We ended up doing the roof too. So far it's held up perfectly and hoses off great! We did ours last Spring, and no issues thus far. Highly recommend this stuff, even with the difficulty stirring haha!

    Show off your baby chicks!

    I'm reading this thread at works and cooing over the cuties! I want chicks so badly! I just don't have the room and I refuse to overcrowd my coop. That being said, if anyone needs a chicksitter - I'm your gal! Thanks for sharing pics!

    Comment by 'ChickityChina' in article 'Cleaning and storing fresh eggs'

    Really good info here. I was asked by a friend about the differences in washing with cold vs. warm water (as I always wash with warm), and I didn't have a good scientific answer for her, other than it seems to clean them better. =) This provided me with information I could relay to her that...

    Dumbest Things People Have Said About Your Chickens/Eggs/Meat - Part 2 : Chicken Boogaloo.

    LOL! So, umm... taking the eggs makes them "think their babies are disappearing", but eating said babies is somehow acceptable to mother hen. (Here's your sign)... vegans...
