Congratulations! Beautiful eggs!!
Mine has been laying for a month now, but the eggs are consistently small. Cleo free ranges at least half a day everyday and gets organic feed and oyster shell. What other natural, organic food should I feed her to get larger eggs?
My pretty Cleopatra has just laid her first egg today at 21 week!!! It's a small egg, but I have read that they will get much bigger in time. I hi Can't wait to make two sunny side up for breakfast!
When I read your post today, I was wondering when my Cleopatra will lay an egg. After all, she's 21-week-old. When I went to check on her, I saw her sitting in her nesting box for the first time ever. A little later I checked to discover that she has just laid her first egg this afternoon...
What about Ecosmart organic insecticide? It says it's safe to use around children and pets. Contains starch, sawdust, granite, wintergreen oil, clove oil and thyme oil. Smells good, too.
You're right. Now I need to switch their names, which will make much more sense. My eight-year old daughter will be so happy that she was right. She wanted to get the light brown leghorn because the baby chicks have thick Cleopatra eyes. Thank you!
Hi everyone, this is my first post. Please help me dentify which is an EE and which is a light brown leghorn between these two three-week old baby chicks.
Cleo.

I've seen pictures of baby chicks of both breeds, an they both look like Jewel, with the dark brown...
How do you like the Moon Door Coop. I'm planning to order it, but want to make sure it will protect my hens from Raccoons. I will ask Marco to use hardware cloth, and maybe build more enclosed nesting boxes. Please advise. Thank you.
