Thank You! for the win! I'm so eggcited to get my calander!

Jelly Bean (mini horse) with Cloe ( bantam hen). Cloe wouldn't lay an egg unless she was in Jelly Bean's hay.

Zerphyr (cat) chillin' in my hen (Bug) house.

Dime, my big ham of a roo. Mille Fleur Belgian Bearded D'uccle

I have a 1 year old hen that suddenly developed "star gazing" wry neck on 4 July. She was fine at 5:30 pm and wry neck at 8:30pm. All my chickens are on a good feed (Neutrena all flock) with free range in the secure backyard. I separated her form the rest of the flock(1 cockerel, 2 pullets...

Gone to good home!

He is a pure breed Mille Fleur Belgian Bearded D'uccle. Hand raised and friendly. 1 year old. Does not attack people, or pets. Better suited for large flock or with standard size or large bantam hens. He has a propensity to pull on head feathers when mating. He is too big for my hens. I...

He has been at my BILs house on vacation for over a week now. How long do you think he should stay? I miss his wake up call that lets me know everyone is OK. And it's too quiet now! On the plus side, the hens are happy and less stressed.

Painted "rescued" concrete goose

Painted concrete rabbit. I'm not sure this is art or hand craft.

Jelly Bean. My mini superstar.

I have a REALLY Nice 1 year old roo (Mille Fleur Belgian Bearded D'Uccle). His only problem is he is over pecking the hens heads. I only have 3 hens and 2 young pullets. The 3 hens are becoming bald from his attentions. They submit but still get head beat. I fear for the young pullets...

My little roo Dime. 4 months old 8 months old

Late to the party and Probably not good or big enough. Uncropped. Two of my faves Crow & Curley mixed bantams.

I have a first time broody Bantam hen sitting on a few eggs that are due to hatch in a couple of days. The temperature is expected to be freezing during hatch and right after. Do you think the chicks will be OK? Or should I bring momma & eggs in the house to hatch? Pic of Curley just for fun.

I'm down to 2 little bantam hens and want to build my flock. I'm debating on weather to have my “always broody” hen hatch out eggs or incubate them. My chicken house is a prefab, with nestbox, roosting area w/ tray, and ramp to outside. If the hen hatches them, I worry that the little chicks...

Thank You ScenicViews. I'll try that!

Thanks for the answers. I haven't noticed a difference with shell quality and exploding. I only have 2 hens, so the eggs are mixed up. I have NO PROBLEM with peeling, I've figured that out. My Problem is with them EXPLODING when I boil them.

OK, I've searched the forum and can't find an answer. My eggs are exploding when I boil them. I use the "older" eggs, straight out of the fridge, put vinegar in the water, and bring to a boil. About 1/2 of them will explode when they start to boil. What am I doing wrong? Thanks!

My little silkie mix hen had a soft shell egg break inside her early morning 2 Jan. She seemed fine when I let her out in the morn, but a little later she wasn't acting right. That's when I brought her in the house. I noticed the broken egg in the nest and all over her underside. I gave her...
