    ISO naked neck serama eggs

    About six or seven years ago I purchased some naked neck serama eggs from a seller on ebay. However, this seller doesn't appear to be producing this breed again. I am hoping to find someone else who has these eggs, as I really love the combination. (I have one rooster left from those original...

    Staggered Hatching?

    I really want to do the Easter Egg Hatch along; however, my Serama hen is giving me intermittent eggs. I have 2 eggs that have been on the egg turner this week, and am wondering if I start these eggs now, if I can stagger the hatch by setting my eggs for the hatch along on the 25th as planned...

    The 8th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-a-long!!!!

    I'm in! I had so much fun (and mom did too) last year. I'm hoping she's out of the rehab facility (broke her leg in a fall last month) by then so she can be home to watch over the babies.

    Solar Lighting Question

    I got a small $22 solar light bulb from Amazon (link) for my coop and I was hoping that I could use the remote control to turn it on from the house. Alas.... no. So my question is, if I've got to go outside after dark, should I do it in the AM (I have a hard time waking up in the morning, haha)...

    My hens love it. They rush me when I'm feeding them, and I find they go right for the food. They eat it all up, and I have far less waste. They love both the Layena Pellets and the Omega-3 pellets, and I love feeding them food they love!

    The 7th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-A-Long!

    Yes, all the chicks that I saw who came out of the blue/green eggs have dark legs. Here's a picture of a small group of them. (The one in the middle I believe was out of a brown egg, so either my Brown Bovan Hen or my Silver Laced Wyandotte.)
