My Barred Rock pullet FINALLY laid an egg!!!! She started squatting on Jan 1st. I new something was up today because she was over by the coop cackeling her head off. I checked and there was nothing. But I saw her walk back in and go in the nest. She sat there for a while and when...

to actually laying an egg??? I have 2 pullets out of 10 that started squatting on Jan 1st. When can I expect an egg? The 2 that are squatting hatched in July. I have 2 other pullets that were hatched in April and May and still don't show any signs of laying. I'm dying to get my first egg!

I have a 7 month old silky/ cochin cross bantie pullet, and a 6 month old GLW pullet. I have not gotten a single egg from either one of them!! I also bought some chicks from Ideal back in July and they all turned 16 weeks last Wednesday. I don't have any roosters. I know my 16 week olds are...

Ok, this morning I caught all of my 9 chicks (2 weeks old) pecking at the tail feathers of my RIR chick. They were all doing it and her tail was bleeding. I quickly separated her from them. Then about a couple of hours later I noticed they were all now chasing my little Buckeye around and...

The PO called me this morning at 9. She says, "can you hear what I have?" It was pretty funny. I walked in the PO and instantly you could hear my package. I don't think they get many mail order chicks in there. The lady said she they all thought a bird got in the building and was flying...

I just placed my first order of chicks from Ideal! They are not being shipped until July 16th so I have some time to get ready. My question is... what kind of light bulb do you use for the heat lamp? Does it have to be a special kind or can you use any old bulb? I bought the lamp today...

I'm REALLY new to chickens so I'm worried about this chick. I've only had her since Friday but she's not acting like the other one I got with her. She's just standing in her cage with her feathers all fluffed up, eyes closed, loosely carrying her wings (they seem like they are falling...

I have 3 young bantam cockerels that need a home! Any takers?? They were supposed to be pullets and now I can't keep them. They are really friendly, my kids handle them. Here's some pics: Thanks!!

Hi, I'm new to the boards! We got our first 4 chickens 2 weeks ago. I was told they are silkey/cochin bantam crosses. Is that what they look like to you? What about the sex? I was told they are girls but I have some doubts. BTW... I now have 7 chickens! I got a Golden Laced Wyandotte...
