I like EE's, but only for the egg color. They don't lay as early, or as often. Plus they're a bit more skittish than RSL. I've decided this year on Barred Plymouth Rocks...
Hi,
One of our 13 week old barred plymouth rock hens turned out to be a Roo.
I'm trying to sell two as a breeding pair for $20.
We're in Sandy.
Any takers?
We don't want to sent it to freezer camp unless we have to.
Here's the link on KSL
Thanks for looking

Well that worked.
Just testing to see how to upload pictures and links.
Thought this was a nice pic. Am going to submit it to some BYC contests.
Bye for now.

Hey Gypsy... I was looking for Americana's yesterday. IFA Draper is getting 5 in today, and I think IFA 21st South also, but don't remember for sure. Call first. (I wouldn't buy from them any other day except the day they come in. They're not very good taking care of new peeps). Also, I called...
And the dust! Oy Vey! You're getting good advice here for putting chicks out at about 5 weeks. One thing to look for, make SURE that your chicks have "feathered out". Meaning, look at their backs. Make sure that all of the baby fuzz is gone, and they have good feathers there. If you don't they...
Thanks! Life just happens, and you get out of the habit of chatting chickens. You keep buying food, cleaning coops, rotating compost, building up garden bed, selling old lady chickens, buying new baby chicks. It's the circle of urban farm life.
It's amazing the prices of things anymore. And I...
Ha! I love to see the strange places where my girls lay their eggs. It always seems to be in the furthest corner of the coop where I can't reach, or even in an old feed box. I usually put an old piece of 2x4 or a brick in the exact place they are not supposed to be laying. They usually find...
Hello all! It's been awhile since I've stuck my nose around here. The last time I was here, was before all the changes, and I like the changes!
I only recognize some of the names anymore, so I'll re-introduce myself.
I'm in Sandy, in a county island zoned A-1 (best of all worlds) We've got 40+...

Egg Facts
The #1 Egg laying myth is that you need a rooster in your flock for hens to lay eggs
You do not. Hens lay fine without a rooster
Most people say that fresh eggs have a different/better taste to them
The US East Coast prefers Brown eggs while the West Coast prefers White eggs

Coop plans for a simple 4x8 coop
The reason I decided to make this coop in the first place, was because my chicken tractor was too small for as many birds as I had. I wanted a simple solution, and because 4x8 is such a universal size, I figured I couldn't lose with an 8 foot wide, 4 foot deep, 4...
