Don't be surprised if they start looking like they are plucked for the stew pot! Some chickens have very rough molts.

Is it bad that I have thought about having a remote controlled sprinkler for when I find my neighbor walking around in my backyard?

We have had 3 different "Red Stars" purchased from different hatcheries and all of them have at one time laid double yolk eggs which is the very large eggs people are posting pictures of. Generally I would try to find a chicken that will reliably produce eggs year round which would be any of...

Yep, we have had double yolkers several times but ours showed up when our hens had been laying for a few months and were ginormous. Last week she layed two soft shell eggs while roosting over night then skipped a day and layed a double yolk egg the next. Since then she has put out two normal...

Thanks everyone for posting pictures of your eggs! I guess our first two red stars or ISA's (not sure which as back then I didn't pay as close attention) just layed abnormally dark egg shells. In other news - I never believed people before when they said their hen laid 2 eggs in 1 day...

Those of you with experience with ISA browns, what kind of egg shell color do you typically get? Our first two were fairly dark egg shells compared to all of our other brown egg layers but my latest one is a medium color brown on her first real egg (first two were soft shelled). I was really...

Hi everyone! I also love this breed, it has been our most productive and favorite hen by far. I was wondering if anyone knows which breeders offer true ISA browns and which are selling other types of red sex links not using the rhode island white in the cross? Is there a way to tell based on...
