I'm a relatively new chicken owner. Recently we received an adult bantam hen that has already been laying. We already have 1 bantam hen (that we know of) and 12 regular hens that are all 17 weeks old. Thursday, Friday, and today, we got 3 "bantam" eggs each day. We have the new bantam adult hen...
Apparently, Tractor Supply decided that they would distribute this newer breed of chicken called Asian Blue. Since there is very little information on them, I thought I would post a picture of my Asian Blue rooster and hen! :-)
I was pretty sure she was an ameraucana but we have been getting blue and green eggs. She along with two others (a buff orpington and what we think is a Delaware blue) were added to my lonely flock of one (production red). Friday and yesterday I found an extra large brown egg (production) and a...

My hen Roxanne has been a little confused. She sleeps in her nesting box and lays her eggs on her perch. So this morning, I put a plastic egg in each nesting box and it worked! :-)
Meet Roxanne! I found her roosting on our trash can back in July and she seems to have taken up residence at our house here in the middle of town. We decided to keep her so my husband built her a coop out of some scrap wood and a pen! (I spoke with the city and we can have up to 25 chickens but...
Meet Roxanne! I found her roosting on our trash can Saturday evening and she seems to have taken up residence at our house here in the middle of town. We decided to keep her so my husband built her a coop out of some scrap wood and he built her a run! (I spoke with the city and we can have up to...
