    Coop design feedback - Austin TX

    Fortunately or unfortunately, we got out chickens as a complete packaged deal with the coop, food, waterer, etc.. It was turn key for us. Thus our chickens were matured and use to the setup. However, now that I've learned a bit more, I can see the shortcomings in out setup. But it should...

    Coop design feedback - Austin TX

    As a new chicken owner I don't have a lot of feedback to give. But also as a resident of Austin, I wanted to follow this post. We've had our flock (of 3) for about 4 mos and I can already see some adjestments we might need to make for our coop. Thanks CJB

    New chicken owner trying to find out what I've got??

    Yes, I believe that it is coming from this hen. FWIW, she is the one laying the least frequently. All that said though, its still winter time so I don't have too many expectations. But my Production Red still cranks out 1 per day pretty much!

    Ok, it's taken me about a week to get a full run of egg production. Here's what I've got. #3- is what ya'll are labeling as out Production Red. She's our most prolific layer and we pretty much get 1 per day. FWIW, she's also at the bottom of the pecking order. #2- Is the RSL egg and so far...

    Extreme weather in RGV 🥶🤔

    I'm in Central TX and a relatively new chicken owner (my first winter). But most of my researched, based on those that have chickens way up North US, state that 'generally' the chickens can be fairly hardy in the winter. Just keep the drafts out of the coop, keep humidity down, and make sure...

    My girl is only laying 1-2 per week, so once I get another, I'll post up a photo also. But yes, I think it resembles that. In fact, your (bottom) 3 egg line up almost looks like the ones my 3 girls are giving us when we get a full production for the day. Thank again, I do appreciate...

    If starlight green is referring to egg color, then ours may be doing the same. I may not be best with ddetermining egg colors, but when compared to the eggs of the other 2 this one does have a gentle greenn tint

    They all seem to generally lay eggs similarly relative to their coloring differences. The 3rd one you ask about is laying gently green tinted eggs. The production red is our all-star layer, giving me a traditional brown egg every day. And the RSL hen is laying a lighter brown egg. Wow...

    New chicken owner trying to find out what I've got??

    New chicken owner here. We bought a complete setup which included 3 chickens. Can someone here tell me the breed of chickens these may be? So far, I've heard New Hampshire red, RI Red, Easter Egger, and Ameraucan...
