The chicks that do hatch will go into the freezer. I dont want more birds but more eggs to eat so as soon as they get eating age ;(

I have a hen I couldnt find in about twoo weeks and I finally found her the other day sitting on about 15 eggs in our woods so maybe they should hatch pretty soon or around the first of september. My Hens and rooster are Black Australorpes.

Yes I have a ramp for my hens to walk up to get about two feet of ground to walk in nest boxes. If I take away the ramp I guess my hens will still jump up to lay a egg there.

I have a rooster and 4 hens, They just started laying about 2 months ago. I was getting one or two eggs a day then none for a month. I leave their gate shut but a small door open because I like them to free range. We'll we have a small dog smaller than the chickens and the other day she had two...

JJ, I use to have silver laced and was very happy with them. They were GREAT egg layers. But now my choice is RIR's. Good Luck anyway:fl

Dont go and mess up a PERFECT flock, you already have the Best....(RIR's)

Where's all the Texans? I'm from Buffalo, Texas and seems to me ALOT of BYC Lovers are from the North...Love each and Everyone though..

Try chicken and dumplings or either boiled, both ways are GREAT...

I cant taste any difference from the store bought. They have to be better for you since they are'nt pumped full of steriods

I also have adult hens (RIR's) 2 yrs. of age. Great breed for what I want, very calm and quiet, not alot of bickering between the girls and a true pleasure to have around.

Great photos Legacyln!!!!!! Loved them, I also have RIR's (14 hens approx. 5 months old and a Roo 2 yrs. of age) Love them and are great egg layers. I'm from Buffalo, Texas.

Surely they sell 12 guage shotgun shells around there some place???

Live in Texas. Love hunting anything and everything.....Took quiet a few deer this year (7), still have two more weeks of hunting. Also squirrel, ducks, coon, rabbits, etc, etc, etc.....
