3 of my new flock are Easter Eggers, 1 is a Barred Rock. This is Joy my one Easter Egger from my first flock. She lays beautiful blue eggs!

Very nice. I got one small flock that didn't work out recently. I didn't read the sign: STRAIGHT RUN! That means to RUN!!!! I got two female Silver Laced Wyandottes, and two Silver Easter Eggers. You guessed it, the two Easter Eggers were ROOSTERS. It broke my heart, but had to give the two...

After the dog attack, I guess I'm too leery of everything! I caught my Easter Egger nesting in the garage in a box. Normally, they will all lay there eggs in the same stall in the inner coop of the chicken pen. Now, it would seem that their sanctuary has been breached by the dog attack. I used...

Thank you again, for you kindness and understanding.

THANK YOU SO MUCH! We've only been chicken parents for 10 months. You have been very gracious by educating us with this valuable information.

Wow! I guess I deserved that quote, but if you don't know, you DON'T KNOW! I'm not afraid to show my ignorance, and I'm not above pretending that I know something simply to impress others who may not know the answer to the same question I'm asking either. It's called increasing your knowledge. I...

I've been praying, and it looks like Sugar, my injured Golden Wyandotte, is going to pull through. She won't be pretty on her left side for a while, but I'll take it! Just knowing that she's healthy enough to run, drink and eat with my other girls makes my heart feel great! Every morning and...

This is my first year. I obtained my first batch in late February of this year. One died, then a friend got me four more. The neighbor's dog just killed two of them, so now I currently have five. This coming February, I'll get four more, hopefully, two more Rock Barreds, and two more Easter...

If a chicken lays ONE egg a day, and has several baby chicks, does the rooster impregnate her for every one of those chicks, once everyday? Or, does he have to do his thing just once, and that one will last for a while? And how does she know to stop having eggs or chicks? First time chicken...

That sounds like a good idea for my Golden Wyandotte. The only problem with that is, she wounded badly on her left side, and pinning her left wing to her side with a towel is probably going to take more than two hands... I spray her wound, but from afar, which is probably not sufficient.

Hey try that with a little plate of cottage cheese. I dare you. They'll run you over like a football team! Here they come!

I agree with not chasing them or throwing anything over their heads. It seems cruel to me. I DO have a problem with my big Wyandotte, now that she has been wounded by my neighbor's dog. I must spray her twice or three times a day with Silver Spray and another product for wounds. Most of the...

Just thought of a few more: Biscuit, Gravy, Buttermilk, and Crusty!

Good to know that. I don't even know what disease you're talking about, but BECAUSE I don't know anything, I'm falling for EVERYTHING! When my Wyandotte baby got attacked 3 days ago, I had several sprays, including Silver spraying for healing wounds. I also have something for respiratory...

Oh please, please can I give you some ideas? Thanksgiving? How about: Cranberry, Salada, (salad in Spanish) Saucy, Drumstick, Jello, Shortcake, Pepper, Salty, Crumbles, Stuffing?
