Thank you Doubleleft. The hen who laid the 4th egg in is in the Easter Egger coop to make Olive Eggers. My egg customers love the dark green eggs. I am so excited to finally have a flock to work with! The others I have purchased were so light like that 4th egg I couldn't use them and call...

Thank you for replying Desertmarcy. Now that I have hens who lay the right egg color I can start breeding and culling for eye color and such. I did have two chicks hatch on Christmas, but culled one because it had feathers on the second toe. None of my hens or the rooster have that problem...

I'm in need of a little help. Every year I buy chicks from people in Michigan who all have claimed their flock has Davis line or Jean line in them. Once the chicks grow up and start laying I can tell I was taken for a fool again. The eggs they lay are too light and I end up culling the flock...

I'm so excited, she did not lose the eye and it is back to normal!!!! Thank you Eggcessive for your advice. My husband is going to replace the nesting box roof this weekend. He thinks it came from the roof after inspecting the coop. He asked me what the **** I did to the roof. I told him...

lol, goggles would be great out here, we have a very long driveway made of sand. Every windy day we watch the sand swirl. Thanks for looking up the type of visine I'm using. Her eye was puffy yesterday so I started the Neosporin. She is still in with the rest of the flock, they are not...

Thank you for the tip. I was using the dry eye relief, Natural Tears Formula. I thought that one would be okay, because it is the only one that doesn't burn my eyes. It made mine feel better, so I got our chickens the same. I'll look for an eye rinse when I'm at the store again. We (us and...

I took your advise and wrapped her in a towel. I was able to use visine and rinse her eye out. It was a small wood chip that got in her eye during the windy day. She is opening her eye now, and using it. I'm going to keep using the visine for a couple more days because I'm pretty sure her...

We had a very windy day two days ago and I think my hen got dirt in one of her eyes. The last time this happened I used Visine to wash her eye out and was able to get the dirt out. This time she will not let me hold her and put the drops in. (She must have remembered the last time we did...

The other day I asked about eye color, my hen has yellow eye and some of her chicks had black eyes the rest were an orangish color. Someone told me their eyes would change, that they are! Now they look creepy with orangish colored specks surronded by black I'm watching them everyday to see...

lol, He won Guess I'm doing dishes

This is the bottom of their feet, everyone has this light gray color. My son says they look white not light gray. One of us might be a little color blind This is my rooster's feet ^^ That broody hen is really mad now! These are her feet. Sorry about the muddy feet, we were hit with tons...

This is what most of my hens look like, very little color or no color. This lady is the mom of the one pictured above. She is broody (if she only knew they were golf balls). Thank you both for the help! The rest of my flock has eyes like this picture except the yellowish eyed one pictured...

everyone else in my flock has a redish orange color including her parents. Where did the yellowish color come from I wonder I never noticed her eyes were different than the rest of the flock. I checked her chicks from last month. A couple have black, the rest have the redish orange. I have...

lol, it's not her normal look, her feathers are standing up, wings slighly out from the body and raised a bit, tail raised and head lowered, it's her attack stance because I pulled her from the nest. I did just check her feet... she bites! Her feet are the same color as her legs. Her eyes...

This is my only hen I've been collecting eggs from this year to hatch. I hatched her last year. She lays the darkest eggs out of all my hens. Can anyone tell me if she is correct in color, and eye color? It isn't a great picture, I turned off the lights in the coop because she is broody.

I have noticed that this one is harder on me then my other child who is now 12. I am very fit and eat healthy, no fast food for me. When we decided to have another baby we talked about it for two years. It took us another year of trying before we were able to conceive. We had given up hope...
