    raising chickens in edgewater md which is aacounty

    Hi Martha, I pulled some information out of the code for your county. Your neighbor is within their rights to complain about the rooster. However, I think that the chickens might be okay. § 12-4-904. Animal disturbance prohibited. A person who owns, keeps, or has possession of an...

    Young chick lays shelless egg

    I have mine on grower with free choice oyster shells. That way the ones that are laying already can get the calcium they need. I've heard that too much calcium can hurt your non-laying birds.

    17 week old Silkie Rooster - Maryland

    My sweet little Silkie hen (Dresdy/Dresden) turned out to be a rooster. I purchased her from TSC in early April. "She" suffered a pretty bad injury to her wing a little over a month ago. I nursed her back to health and she rejoined the flock about 2-3 weeks ago. Then I noticed that "she" was...

    First Egg Countdown

    So I took a better photo of our first egg... it is so adorable!! I love the color. The shell is nice and hard, too.

    19 and a half weeks old and still no eggs :( egg countdown anyone??

    They may be their sex links, aka red stars. I also got 4 of mine from the red pullets tub. I was told that some of them are red stars... however, we got them from different tubs, so I'm wondering if I have 2 RIR's and 2 red stars, because 2 of them are maturing more slowly and are a darker red...

    What kind of chickens do you have? I know that it's a little early, but I am ready for some eggs! I have 5 black stars that are 15 weeks and one day, a silkie and 4 red stars that are about 14.5 weeks. Two of my black stars look like they're going to start soon. I can't wait!!!
