Hi, No. My son was the one who found it. My guess that it was a black chicken.

Hi, This was really very different. It was a bag with an egg in side. The shell was still soft and it was a normal egg white and yoke. The sack was almost like a blob. The sack was not the shell. The shell was inside the blob sack. Hope this makes sense. Has somebody experienced this...

We have 23 chickens. Does each of my chickens suppose to lay eggs everyday and how many eggs should I expect from each one? Thank you

Quote: I agree. Some breeds tend to be more broody then others. This chart gives you a lot of good information. You may already use it but here it is. http://www.ithaca.edu/staff/jhenderson/chooks/chooks.html Hi, Thanks for the link. I was not aware of it yet. Makes me want to get more...

Hi again, Yes I do have 2 roosters. 1 was ordered in the batch but we ended up with another. He was late starter in crowing, but is also very protective. He has gone after my 12 year old when he checks for eggs.

Quote: Hi, Wow, I have sure learned alot here. Yeah, I wanted to be a Grandma. LOL. I do wanted some baby chicks with their Mama. I did do this with the first few eggs collected about 7. But I noticed no chicken would sit on them, only if they're laying eggs. But I would collect the...

My chickens are 5 months old. Not all are laying. But the few that are, they don't seem to sit on them at night. I go out and the eggs are cold. Will this change? I have 23 chickens. 1 hen is protective when I go to gather the 2-3 eggs. So I left the first time 5 eggs laid yesterday in...

Quote: Hello, Beautiful eggs. What kind of chickens do you have?

Quote: I love my piggys, I don't want to get attached to them like I have to my injured one. I don't want them to experience hunger pains. Everytime I come out to see them. They all gather at the gate to see what I brought them this time. I don't even get this from my husband when I come...

We do give oyster shell, but I mix it in with there feed or I sometimes throw some on the ground. For each other how much a day. On Oyster and grit? I don't have seperate closed in nests or cages. How do you seperate your chichens to feed them this?

I forgot to mention that they are 5 months now and have been beginning to lay eggs since the 16th. Thanks again

Hello, I have 23 chickens and 2 roosters. Should we measure the amount of feed and chicken scratch? In the evening, while there is still light. I give them produce. Thank you:)

It sure gives something to look foward too! thank you

Hi, Next week they will be 5 months old.

No they are not all the same breed. The ones that are laying the black ones. Sorry, I don't know the names of the breeds. My husband ordered them. Now I do question the temperature. It does get over 100 degrees in the desert. But they are shaded and plenty of cooling water.

I found an egg that I had marked on the 16th. It was in the dirt about 8 feet away from the nest. Is this normal? It almost seems like it new that it was no good. Thanks for input.

Good evening, We have 23 chickens, but only about 4 are laying eggs. They started to lay on 16th of August. We are getting 3-4 a day. They are all the same age. We have to roosters too, could they be the cause of not laying? Should all my chickens be laying eggs?

Hi, so sorry to hear about your awful experience. I know everything happens for a reason. This has brought a certain joy to your life. Now she's your baby. I think I am getting attached to my chicken now. I brought her inside the house for about a 1/2 hour to see how she was doing without...

Hi, I'm scared for my chickens right now. I don't know if chickens should be eating hay. They are 18 weeks old. My husband brought home 2 trash cans full from the hardware store. I just saw the post https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=21291 Now I'm concern. Thank you...

Our chickens got out yesterday:(. My husband didn't latch the gate when he was finished with the chickens. The wind blew the gate open. And the chickens thought "freedom". We were lucky. 1 chicken did get bit on the neck not enough to draw blood:(. But she was all shook up. We put her in...
