We have 9 year old girls that we would like to find new homes for. 1 EE that lays green eggs, 1 EE laying light brown eggs, a couple of wyandottes (laced grey and laced red), 2 Australorps, Barred Rock and a beautiful Brahma. I hate to get rid...

    The Wyandotte Thread

    Can anyone tell me about when you can expect Wyandottes to start laying? I have 3 girls, all the same age (within a day or two). The Orp has been laying for about 2 months and the Wyandottes have done nothing. I have 2EEs who are younger by a month and one of them is laying too, but nothing...

    Chicken with a growth on her beak

    I have a Wyandotte that is about 16 weeks old. In the past week or two she has started to develop a growth on the top of her beak. The bottom of the growth looks like beak material and color. As it get further away from the body the growth is white. The whole thing is not huge but looks like...

    How many here are actual backyarders vs. Farmers?

    Less than 10th of an acre, including the room the house takes up. We are outlaws in the city limits but we bribe our neighbors (who are great). We also have a tilapia tank (150 gallon), hydroponics, aquaponics and regular gardens. Our two coops and all the rest of our tiny farm make our...

    How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

    We had 5 two days ago, 3 yesterday and 5 again today. Total of 9 girls but I think 2 of them are more old ladies than girls. Still they are beautiful Brahamas and have such sweet (if shy) personalities. Can't wait for tomorrow's eggs. It will be another dozen, which means enough to not feel...

    WTB: Black Copper Maran Pullet (about 12 weeks old)

    I am in Central FL and hope to round out our little flock with a Marans. I had one but it turned out to be a beautiful boy. He has a new home and I am hoping to find a girl who may not be good enough for showing or breeding, but who will give us some nice dark brown eggs. We fell in love with...

    How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

    We were delighted to find 5 eggs today from our 9 girls. They were not laying more than 1 or 2 eggs a day for the past couple of weeks. Now we have had about a week of 4 eggs per day. Come Saturday, maybe I can afford to eat an egg or two for breakfast! By the way, I think it was the high...

    Keeping the water clean

    We use a nipple waterer system. We have a hose from our outside house tap to a 5 gallon bucket that is hung in a tree next to the coop. The bucket is fitted with a toilet floater valve to keep the water from overflowing the bucket (turns water off when the level in the bucket is reached)...

    Pinellas Park, FL chicken swap / tack re-sell it 05/22/11 (Sunday)

    Quote: Sounds like she would be a good mix with our girls. I guess our questions would be, how loud is she? We have one loud mouth and are trying to keep the flock as quiet as possible. How old is she? It would see that she is laying but just wanted to check. We will be there but if we...
