    Review by '' on item 'Wyandotte'

    I have had 2 Wyandottes in my flock, and while beautiful, I had to cull my 1.5 year old because she pretty much did not lay during the whole summer (between brooding and recovering). They have not been anti-people, but hardly ever get close to me without being wary.

    I found a light green egg today. Do I have an EE ? CAUGHT HER !!

    Thanks so much for your post! I have a Black Star, Sex Linked that is laying green-blue colored eggs as well. I was not 100% that she was the layer, and all the information I could find said that she should lay brown eggs. Your post allowed me to stop endlessly searching!! THANKS!

    Pine and Cedar shavings are dangerous

    One of my Hens is determined to leave the yard!

    That sounds like a good idea. Keeping them in the coop until 11am for a few days seems do-able! Do you put food and water in there too? Thanks for the idea.

    New layer, shell-less egg.

    My RIR had a few like this as her first eggs. She should end up with shells after a few days to a week. Puberty... it does crazy stuff to even chickens!

    One of my Hens is determined to leave the yard!

    UPDATE and REPLIES: I just hiked over to the neighbors yard and finally found her deep under the overhang of their bay window. I pulled her out along with one cold egg. I tried hard to show her it was in my hand the whole way home, hoping she wont go back for it again?? I put her and the egg...

    One of my Hens is determined to leave the yard!

    That's what I was feeling, but I have looked under every bush I could find and didn't have any luck. I better keep looking, unless my neighbors want to adopt! :P

    One of my Hens is determined to leave the yard!

    I have 5 hens, most have recently started laying eggs this week. (mostly unknown which ones). I have 1, a road island red, who I have found in the neighbors yard 3 times in the last week, and today I watched her hop the fence. She started out pacing along it and cawing loudly. (while the rest...
