this Peking egg (right middle) had to of hurt! The one below it is also a Peking egg.

Geeze glad I have 5 dozen waiting to be used. A nice variety of chicken & duck eggs :)

maybe 3-4 days worth. None sitting... had to put duck eggs in the incubator because no one wanted to sit. Yes extra privacy. And at least 5 of our 8 hens were nesting here. nope none broken that I saw :)

I guess our nesting boxes were not up to the chickens standards. Found 17 eggs under a pile of logs lol

Our 2 Black Jersey Giants and 1 Black Australorp are now 22 weeks old and still no eggs from them. The other 5 are laying consistently. Combs & waddles are red and one (I think, they all look the same) is doing the egg song.

Yes. If I have to leave and cant let them free range I clean their water dishes & fill them along with their food dishes. Give them treats and they still holler to come out. When their big coop is finished I was thinking about putting in a coop door opener that is solar powered in hopes that...

Our chickens are so silly! NO ONE (other than the ducks) lays in the nesting box in the coop. They prefer the garage & under the hostas. I know I should keep them in the pen to get them to lay in the boxes, but when I let them out of the coop & not the pen they cluck and get all loud. My soft...

Thats what I did lol starting at the top going clockwise: Isa Brown, Rouen duck, EE, EE & RIR. Thinking about putting pictures in there too. I bought a shadow box first but didn't fit the eggs.

Found my first duck egg in the pool and about made me puke. Our Rouens prefer to make their own nest in the dirt then the nest box lol

What I did was set up several boxes with a couple golf balls in them. One is in a little tykes playhouse (our girls are far to big to play with it). I set it up in an area they all hang out, once I was finished they all were interested in what I did and they took turns checking the place out &...

When we first got them as day old chicks she wanted to lick / eat them. She is after all a bird dog (spaniel mix) so I have been afraid to let her out unattended if they are out if there run. But she has been really good about leaving them be unless we are flushing them out of the woods to go...

Got another green one from our EE :) The girls have identified which EE it is. Fingers crossed our other one lays a different colored one :) and another RIR has made her own "nest" one the second shelf next to the door in the garage lol. All the "egg singing" drives the dog crazy! Like "mother...

Our Isa was the first one to lay at just over 17 weeks

So our mixed flock is 19wks now. We have 1 chicken & 1 duck that have been laying consistently since 7/4 and a Peking started laying consistently in the past few days. But 3 days ago I think one of our EE laid, not sure which one. But hasn't laid since. Is it normal to lay one then nothing for...

I put 2-3 in each of my makeshift boxes and got an egg the next day. BUT she was squatting, wandering off from the flock and making one hell of a racquet.

Thats about how old ours are. So far only our Isa Brown and an unidentified duck are laying. We have 2 RIR that have red combs & waddles so I assume they are next.

She is the only chicken that I know of that is laying, besides an unidentified duck. And she has been the only one in that area of the garage. She lays clean eggs so I haven't washed them.

Is it normal for a chicken to lay more than one egg a day? On a normal day I let them out of the pen in the morning to free range, yesterday they weren't let out until about 2 pm. So our first layer didn't lay yesterday (that I know of). But today I found her in the garage making a fuss because...

I let the birds out of the coop this morning and found an egg. Can anyone help me figure out who it came from? The one on the left is the egg in question kind of a yellowish green with some speckles, the one on the right is from our Isa Brown. So here are the possible culprits: 2 EE (I think...

went back to check and found an egg! Above and to the left of the golf balls :)
