I got two eggs already today! Could I get 4? Woo Hoo! Happy Birthday Scrambles!

Ok, I guess all I had to do is complain. That is nothing new! Went out to open the coop this morning and there was not only an egg, it was HUGE. Poor little hen! Now I feel bad. The one on top is an example of the eggs we have been getting, the other is the egg we got this morning...

Ok now I have another question, this one if from my Husband. Currently our hens are laying one every couple of hours through the day. Is there much hope or maybe a way of encouraging them to all lay earlier in the day? Pie in the sky, high hopes I am sure, but I told him I would ask...

YEAH Scrambles! I ended up with 3 yesterday by the end of the day. Only one more RIR to start, then all four will be laying! Do the eggs get bigger over time? I have one hen that lays a pretty dark egg, the others are about the same color. Do Red Sex links and RIR normally lay the same color?

I love canning, but I must say, potatoes and meatloaf I have never tried. Very interesting. I will have to look into that. Only one egg so far today, but there is still time! Hope you are all having a great day!

I am up to three hens laying eggs now! Yeah Me! We have had two eggs a day for 3 days now and apparently last yesterday in the middle of the snow storm one of the RIRs decided to join them. But is was frozen and cracked by the time we found it this morning. :( But that means we are only...

Thanks everyone. Can you tell I am excited?? I guess mine are free range as they do have a large run, but I have not let them roam free. I am still a little afraid they won't come back. I have had to chase down dogs and horses in the past and I am not too excited about the idea of chasing...

Look out I am on a roll now. First egg on Wednesday, another one yesterday and TWO today! I am so excited!

I am still so excited. I can't wait to look for more today!

I will definitely look for one of those shirts! Thanks!

It Happened! It Happened! It Happened! Chickens are not just pets! I got an egg! Just one! But I got it!!! Isn't it BEAUTIFUL!!!!! It is just perfect!

I can feel the pain of septic issues. We had issues a few years ago. Luckily, our the mess came up in the yard, rather than the house. Our yard was like a swamp. The neighborhood smelled like "roses" for a while. :) We had several septic guys come out and take a look. Unfortunately, our system...

Mortie, I know you say not to worry about issues I don't have yet, but what else have I got to worry about? Still no eggs! At least they are fun to watch. And doesn't everyone hand feed grapes?

I still am eggless. :th But we have golf balls in the nest boxes and I have noticed Mr. Cogburn pecking at them. Should I be worried that some day, if I am ever to receive such a thing as a egg, that he is going to steal them?

Hello! I made it pack. I say accidently, because we never planned to have chickens, they were kind of rescued. My daughter was working at our State Fair in an animal life exhibit. They delivered and hatch baby animals throughout the fair. On the last day of the fair the baby birds (chickens...

Hello, I am new to this thread and new to chickens. We brought home our babies by accident in late summer. I wanted to let Mortie know that I unfortunately, learned the same lesson as he, only it was the large comb of my Roo that has paid the price. It isn't pretty, but it was caught quick so...
