    Any idea what she is?

    You guys are the greatest! Google image search agrees with you, she looks just like a lot of BSL chickens out there! She'll fit right in with my weird little assorted flock...

    Any idea what she is?

    We have two rescue hens and one of them has me stumped. She lays large pink/light brown eggs but looks quite a bit like my welsummer. Anyone have any thoughts?

    Anyone else keep track of hens and eggs?

    I started keeping track on my ipod touch with an egg tracking app (http://www.filecluster.com/iPhone/Egg-Tracker-37888.html) which lets you import photos of your hens and then track their eggs by date, size, etc. We recently added two hens (to our existing flock of five) and that's confused...

    Duncan, BC is in the process of creating a new bylaw but we need help

    I've attended both of our recent city council meetings regarding this issue and the only thing left is for the council to vote on it. However a few very anti-chicken people attended the last meeting and write regularly to our local paper (...

    Adding pullets/removing roosters, do I really need to keep them apart?

    Out of five randomly picked chicks from our feedstore's heritage bin, we are the not-so-proud owners of four roosters. The good news is that since they are all heritage birds we have actually had little trouble finding homes with local breeders who are excited about new blood stock for their...

    Gender for my six week cochin bantam and what breed is her bestie?

    Suze how old are they? I know that red comb is scary but that cochin *acts* like a pullet, I swear. She runs with her head down, is usually the first to get to scratch or new treats to eat and doesn't seem to care what's going on around her. We had an EE roo that we were very lucky to find a...

    Chicken Names

    Our buff orpington got the name Orpington (in my head I think I'm going to call her Buffy), our EE/Americuana is Ang, our black cochin bantam (my fave) is Bamboo Jackson and our mystery chick ended up with the name Badass Honey Badger. >v<

    Gender for my six week cochin bantam and what breed is her bestie?

    She fancy, huh? Chicken side-eye. This other chick is only three and a half weeks old and came from the 'heritage breed' mixed bin at our local feed store. If you think it's a Roo break the news gently, I really love her (?) feathers!

    any guesses on the gender of my 4wk old ee's

    I'm new so take me with a grain of salt but I'd guess two roos (the two in the middle of the last pic) and two pullets?

    How early can chicks move outside?

    Hola! This is my first post. We currently have four chicks--three are six weeks old and the fourth is almost four weeks. Two of them seem much more feathered out than the others (the americuna and the buff orpington) but two doesn't really seem like a large number to warm a henhouse at night...
