I purchased a hoop greenhouse frame to connect to my coop for a chicken run. I let my guineas run loose ( I am down to 4), don't want to lose any chickens. It's covered in chicken wire, and hardware cloth around the ends and bottom. The tunnel is a large plastic barrel that I can close on the...

Thanks for all of the information!

I have Rhode Island blue, and mixed with Easter Egger, I am hearing. I have just gotten two eggs today at 5 months.

I guess that is where the blue egg is coming from maybe, thank you for the info! They are still my girls - no matter what they are :)

O.K., I purchased all 3 at Tractor Supply in the spring, they did look similar at that time.

My first chickens, three Rhode Island Blues, and their first egg, pale blue. I had read that they normally have brown eggs. They are sweet, very friendly chickens, I just have the 3.

They can get noisy, my son is always threatening something. During the spring they were chasing pretty bad, they will even corner one of the birds and pluck feathers out of their backs. If I catch them I run them off, but I don't always know it's going on. Recently it was just a couple of...

Thank you, right now they are crazy guineas, for some reason they are fighting and chasing each other like crazy. I do think I have many more males than females, maybe that has something to do with it.

I took pictures of some of my adults, hatched last September. I am still not sure of the colors. I do think the females are the darker colors, and I don't see spotting on any of them, male or female. Blonde, Buff, I don't know.

I'll have to see if I can take pictures of the adults, and compare them. I really haven't taken the time to try and figure out what colors they are.

The mother is the tan in the very first pictures of this post. I don't know her official color, she was lighter than she is now.

Fred is the grey in the very first picture with the babies.

My new babies that are white have darker wings and heads. I look forward to seeing how they turn out. I found a nest of eggs just in time last September, it was a cool wet weekend and they were starting to hatch. I got them in the incubator and 13 hatched out of 17 eggs. This photo is of...

Your babies almost look the same colors as mine. I agree, in everything I have read, I don't remember anything about the father helping out, but he is right there feeding and watching over them!

The father is lavender, he is warming the babies in the cold wet grass this morning. They are a week old today or tomorrow, they spend their days out with the parents all day. It's amazing how well they travel, just eating grass seeds and bugs, all fourteen are healthy and doing well.

I just found my female who has been sitting for close to 4 weeks. I hated to do it but I took her eggs, now I have 17 eggs in the incubator. I am concerned about it being later in the year, and the fact that it's been 2 years since I hatched my first and last batches I did candle the eggs...

Here are some of mine -I lost one of the white ones to a possum. I have several more lavender as well. Noisy birds, but I do love my babies!

I'll have to try that, I have about twenty eggs in the coop right now

Oh, I know they are good, I enjoyed them last year, and just had them for breakfast this morning. Much more flavor than store bought eggs!

I collected around 16 eggs out of the nest, leaving about 5. I checked a couple of days later and something had gotten most of the eggs. I figured that would eventually happen. Yesterday I noticed one of the birds hanging out in the coop. I have a purchased coop with about 6 nesting boxes on...
