Makes sense. Thanks for the quick replies. We received our standard payment from the ladies today of 2 eggs. I wish the other three would start pitching in!

Up till now we've had few problems. Out of 5 chickens 2 are laying, they are safe and look healthy. This last week though they are not eating as much? We still get 1 or 2 eggs a day though. I did get layer pellets when the eggs came but also have the old food mixed in. They will eat grass and...

Thanks!

We got our first egg on thursday this week. We're not sure who laid it but I think it was "Sweet Baby Ray". We can't wait till the rest get involved. We'ved gotten an egg everyday since.

We've already found a new home for one rooster we had. We cant have roosters within city limits. These ladies I hope are now about 12 weeks old. These 2 in particular I'm worried about.

Thanks for the replies. Not really sure where they came from my daughter bought them from school ffA. I was pretty sure they were a mix of some kind. What color eggs would guess? My wife is really looking forward to trying the blue/green eggs.

Here's another couple pics now that they're a bit older. The grey one has a slow growing redder comb is that for sure a roo? Does the white have some polish in it? these ladies are about 8 weeks.

Thanks, I tinker with photography as a hobby. I had just finished mowing the grass, they didn't like that, but when I raked up some fresh clippings and put them in the run they loved it.

I might be a guy but I''m a big softy when it comes to my little ladies (human children lol) and these little ladies. Just a quick shot I grabbed this morning before work.

Put the girls in their new home last Sunday. We left them in there till 330pm and opened the door on monday. They eventually came out by gracefully falling/flying (lol). We are leaving the food in the coop with water both in the run and coop. At dusk we placed them one by one on the ramp and...

I'm not sure. I'll have my daughter ask. I thought that one was a roo. It's my youngest ones. She 4y/o. She will be heart broken when I tell her we can't keep it. I'll have to let her pick another one out. The school have another batch of some black ones now.

These girls (I hope) are about 5-6 weeks old. Purchased from my daughters FFA class. We have six total but I believe four different breeds. See if you can help me out to I can read about them. 1. All white seems to be the outcast, not a leader. 2. We have 2 of these. More black than...

I didn't think it was bad just double checking. This is our first go around with chickens. Thanks for the quick reply.

We have 6, 6~ week old chicks, one for each member of the family. My 4y/o daughter loves to hold them of course. We've taught her to be gentle and move slow as to not scare them. She always goes to hold hers. Here's where it get interesting. She will eventually catch hers, hold it like a...

He is a good kid we like him. The chickens will a lot off fun.
