I have 6 Barnies, they did start laying at about 28 weeks, but that is not an issue with me. Most of my poultry did. They don't lay the really dark eggs, but they are large, dark brown and some...

Hi BYC community!

After falling in love with an old gentle rooster from the neighbor's farm, who was supposed to end up in a stew pot (the rooster - not the neighbor).....well, I am sure this story sounds familiar.....;-)

The rooster needed company and is now living peacefully with a flock of Ameraucana, Barred Rock, Welsummer, and Black Australorp.

Since we never had chickens before, we have a lot to learn. And this is how I found you ;-)
