    Production Reds

    I have a one year old RIR and she is a sweet heart. She is so gentle and my little boy totes her around she wont jump in our lap anymore but if we bend to pick her up she does not run. She will eat out of our hand too. She is my fav. Her and our Tophat we call beep beep.

    White Leghorn, the forgotten breed

    Sussex are wonderful chickens. I had one I raised but passed. She was like a cat. She did not think she was a chicken at all. They are great dual purpose birds. Good egg layers and meaty too. Although I don't eat mine, they are pets to me. The best kind of pet. I feed them and they feed...

    White Leghorn, the forgotten breed

    I raised 3 brown leghorns The rooster I had to get rid of he was a mean boy. The girls I still have just never can find their eggs. They hide them. Now I have 3 white leghorn chicks. They are so cute. I hope they tun out great. My brown girls are so skittish.

    What hen lays dark brown speckled eggs?

    Yes that is what I was going to say also. My australorps lay brown eggs with darker specks on them.

    Production Reds

    Looks like golden sex link. Which lay the best biggest eggs ever. I have one. She is egg machine. I also have a RIR and she is the smartest and one of the best egg layers also. Very tame.

    my two pekins

    Thanks, for your help. Yeah we do sometimes scoop them up, just cause they are so darn cute. But they don't like it to much. But at least they follow me and approach for food. They are fun. Thanks again.

    my two pekins

    Thanks, that helps a lot. I did not know what I was doing wrong or if something was wrong with them. They are as I say my little yard clowns. They like to try to intimidate my chickens and it is quite funny. They mean business with them though. They are in a fenced back yard so I don't...

    New Hamshire or Production red? Hen or Roo?

    It looks like a NH hen to me. I seen some at a breeder a couple weeks ago and if you look at the tail, it does have those black tips. Fluffy but could mean it is just really young right now.

    my two pekins

    I got my two last March and gave them plenty of attention and love. But for some reason once they got a little older they do not like being touched. They run from us. They will approach when feeding and even eat out of my hand. Another question about them. My female started laying in the...

    My americana hen broke her leg

    Yeah I think tomorrow I will put her in a small cage and put a water bottle and dish in there. Cause the other hens keep stealing her food.

    My americana hen broke her leg

    No I don't have pics but it is right where the leg and feathers meet. It is really floopy and seems not to hurt her. She has no wounds and leans to the side. She won't even put the foot down at all it is tucked up.
