We are starting anew after a move to another state and now back to CA. We now have seven layers and a rooster. Five of the hens are Red Stars, one looks to be Americauna and the other is anyones guess but she lays green eggs so I'd suppose an EE. She is raven black. The rooster is also...

Because we take the girls some treats above and beyond their normal lay mash and scratch (we use a lot of wild bird seed or that) they've become quite greedy. Usually if there's a girl or two in the nesting boxes they will stay there. Yesterday I took in some left over hamburger buns with sesame...

Today we had our first four egg day with one of the eggs a different color. It was much lighter than the eggs we get from the RIRs, with an almost pinkish hue. Since I know at least one of the RIRs is laying large eggs and laid one yesterday, the lighter colored egg has to be from one of the...

Today we were the recipients of the first full sized egg from the girls that are laying. I would guess this is from the pullet who started first just about a month ago. I believe we have all four RIRs laying and get two to three eggs a day now, not bad at all for new layers. We're still waiting...

A pic of one of our RIRs,, Thumbelina, who got the name because she always wanted to sit on my thumb when she was very small. She's also the first to start laying. We are getting about 3 pullet eggs a day from the 4 Rhode Island Reds. Still waiting on the Buffs. I've told them they are getting...

We got the first egg from our girls yesterday. I heard one of them making "that" noise so I told Lisa we were going to get an egg today. When I was out later to give the girls some chunks of peach one of them did not come running to the gate to see what goodies I brought so I figured she was in...

I have to get rid of the 2 roosters that turned up in the batch of hens my wife bought. We're within city limits. 1 Rhode Island Red 1 Buff Orpington About 4 months old. Handled daily.

The batch of chickens my wife got were supposed to be all hens. Well, two are roosters. That's not a bad thing other than we're in a place where we can't have roosters so we have to find them a home. What we have are one Rhode Island Red and a Buff Orpington and if someone has an extra young hen...

My wife Lisa came up with this recipe. IMO, just the best darned muffins you will ever eat. 2 cups white flour ½ cup wheat flour ½ cup white sugar ½ cup packed brown sugar 1 tsp baking powder ¼ tsp salt 6 Tbsp cold unsalted butter, cut up 1 cup roughly chopped walnuts 2 med bananas 2/3 cup...

Hello. I'm new to the site and happy to have found it. I had some questions and they were quickly answered. That was nice. I find, in reading what I've had a chance to read so far, that this is a great site and forum and that was the deciding factor. I've told my wife about the site and...

Hello. My wife and I are happy to have found this site. My wife decided a couple of months ago to get some chickens. She got the chicks from the local feed store and they are now about 7 weeks old. Thing is, we don't know what kind of chickens they are and the guy at the feed store I called...
