Is not washing them necessary even if the eggs are stored in the fridge? Or do you also recommend not putting them in the fridge?

Donrae, they are even on both sides. There's a main wattle hanging down in the center and two smaller ones on either side that hang next to it. You can see the smaller one just on the one side because you're not looking at her head on. That being said, she's been breathing like she has fluid in...

Thank you for the recommendation! They came to me looking like that just a week ago. Is the Caine free Neosporin something I can buy over the counter? Admittedly, I don't even know what a chicken apron is. :-/

THANK YOU so much!!! It's important to know my hens and this is incredibly helpful. :)

Thank you everyone!! @chickluvinfreak @henny1129 @chickencraz @donrae Here are some better shots of the few some of you said you weren't sure on. This first picture is the same chicken as the first picture I posted that you guessed was the Cornish mix. Maybe seeing in focus helps? This one is...

Hey everyone! I am sure you get this question daily, but I'm fairly new to chicken breeds (we've only had Ameraucanas, red sex links, white leghorns, buff Orpingtons, Delawares, and welsummers) and would love your expertise on determining which breed these new chickens are that we got. We...

I know I'm late to this thread by 5 years but my EE (or Ameraucana, not sure which) just started walking funny. She's pretty young still and I didn't notice her walking funny before. Her right toes are curled in and it looks like it throws her balance off sometimes. Have you seen this before and...

Thank you for the input!! I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Thanks! I thought the same thing...It's such a gamble sometimes! But I really want a Welsummer in our flock! @TJs chicklets

Hi everyone, I am potentially buying this 4 week old Welsummer today from a seller. She said she was sexed when she got her and that it's a female and looks similar to other females in her flock but I wanted to get your expert opinion on it. I know it can be hard to tell early on, but her comb...

I'm curious what your thoughts are on combining chicks from different sources and are different ages. I have a friend who got 2 too many Buff Orpington chicks that are 4 weeks old and will be giving them to me. We want to get 2 or 3 more chicks in addition to the 4 week old chicks, but it's not...

Thank you @LadyCluck77 ! I will read that other thread and see if I can use it to help our chicken ladies. Maybe I'll give the Layer Boost another shot too! I'll keep you updated. Hopefully we'll have happy egg-laying hens again!

@RichardF Thank you for the input on integrating the new chickens. I am anticipating our Red Sex Link to do a number on the poor babies since she runs the roost right now, but the plan you described is exactly what I am planning to do so I'm glad to hear it's recommended by other chicken...

@fishnet1971 @ladyfromthewoods I'm so grateful to find this thread. When we moved to a new house last Summer, two of our thee chickens laid "lash" and have never laid since. Our third chicken (a Buff Orpington) is the only one who lays anymore. We have been really hoping the other two will...

@Alexandra33 The olive eggs are stunning! Wow. I love the array of colors you have in your basket. Thank you! @Michael OShay This list is very helpful for reliable layers, which is definitely what we are looking for. I really appreciate it! @Spookwriter it is approximately 160 square feet...

THANK YOU EVERYONE for all of your great tips and warm welcomes! This support and community definitely makes all the difference. I will be researching all these suggestions and may be back for more advice. :D

It is approximately 160 square feet...we have 3 in here now so there would be room to add just a few.

Hey everyone! My name is Lesley and time after time I find myself googling advice about different chicken topics and most often the advice leads me to this site so I decided to bite the bullet, get an account and post here. My husband and I are proud owners of 3 chickens (1 buff Orpington, 1 red...
