Hi! I was wondering if everyone's chickens are already experiencing decreased production for the fall? We got our chickens on May 1st at 3 days old. We have 2 EE's, 2 Astrolorps, 2 RIR and 1 barred rock. We were getting 4-6 eggs form our 7 chickens every day,, but now we get anywhere from 1-3...
to clarify, these chickens are 3 months old. Thanks for everyone's input. I see there is still disagreement. I guess I'll have to update the thread when I really find out :)
This was sold to us as an Ameraucana pullet. I am guessing it's an Easter Egger. It looks quite a bit different than the other one sold to is as an Ameraucana. Is it a roo? First pic is the one in question.
This is my first time to have chickens so I am learning. We have done some research since powersurbanfarm said we might have a rooster. And I DO think that she is correct. We might even have a few others that are roosters. When we let them out of the coop they are behaving like Roosters.
Thanks...
Thanks for the Compliment. These are straight runs so I may have a few roosters. What makes you think this one may be a rooster? I think one of my Americanas may be a rooster too. I would not mind a rooster but in my area they frown on them.
The coop was build out of reclaimed wood I found around town. Pallets, fencing and odds and ends. The only cost was the hardware which was about $250 total. We have 8 chickens; 2 Americanas, 2 Australorps, 2 Barred Rocks and 2 Road Island Reds...
