    Strange egg color

    They all lay, or are at least supposed to lay in the same box. They get egg layer feed pellets to eat, and we give them treats from time to time from table scraps (mostly fruits and veggies). They also enjoy eating our sweet potato vines that we ha e around the house. They run around our...

    Strange egg color

    We have a small flock of three hens. So far, our ISA brown is the only one laying (we also have a Plymouth Rock and a Maran/possibly a Legbar mix). We were normally getting nice brown eggs from the ISA when suddenly we got these strange bluish eggs. I suspected they might be from our mystery...

    Introducing a new hen to 12 week old flock

    Hmm. I've got some extra chicken wire. I could set up a small area for the new hen to get acquainted. The coop isn't segregated, but I'm sure I could rig something up if I needed to.

    Introducing a new hen to 12 week old flock

    I have 4 hens (2 Silkies, 1 Isa Brown, 1 Barred Rock). Could I safely introduce another 12-16 week old hen with little conflict or should I wait till they're a little older? Our original 5th "hen" turned out to be a roo.

The unfortunate repercussions of having a backyard flock in a suburban environment. He had a great personality and it hurt to see him go...

    Michigan Thread - all are welcome!

    We have a Brahma rooster that was supposed to be an Orp hen . Anyway, we're in the Detroit area, so if anyone wants him, we'll drive him to you. If not, he's going to chicken heaven if you catch my drift. Let me know. Thanks

    Thinking our Lt Brahma might be a cockerel :(

    Our Brahma looked nearly identical to that at 6 weeks.

    Thinking our Lt Brahma might be a cockerel :(

    So this is a picture of our 12-13 week old Brahma. It's definitely doing a lot of talking in the mornings and evenings which is usually subdued by giving her/him food or letting it out of the coop. My concerns are that it's starting to sound a little more cock-a-doodley, its hackles are pretty...
