    Do egg shell color change shades from day to day?

    I have 14 chickens and have been trying to figure out who is laying which egg. I'm pretty certain that the shade of the egg shells may change slightly from day to day, which is making it pretty confusing. It's just a slight difference, from a medium tan to a darker tan or med brown to darker...

    Safeguard: single dose then repeat in 10 days, or just 3 consecutive doses?

    She's average size, so I gave her 0.5mls of safeguard. I gave her wazine 3 days ago, but then I read to not even bother with that anymore.

    Safeguard: single dose then repeat in 10 days, or just 3 consecutive doses?

    I think I've seen people recommend both ways. I did the 3 consecutive days on one chicken a few months back. She seems fine now. But the single dose and redose in 10 days seems to make more sense to get the newly hatched worms. What are ya'lls experiences?

    Where can you buy Flubenvet in the US?

    I've been using safeguard, and just ordered a bottle of valbazen, but would would love to get a hold of some flubenvet for the no egg withdrawal. Seems like it was availiable to order in the US a fews year ago, but maybe not now?

    Where can you buy Flubenvet in the US?

    I've looked at numerous sites with no luck. Can you buy on amazon uk and have it shipping to the US? Any other effective dewormers out there with no egg withdrawal?

    How many pounds of feed do you go through weekly?

    I have 14 chickens between 6-9 months of age and I go through about 100 pounds of feed every 3 weeks. Is that normal? Seems like a lot to me!

    Need help identifying what breed of chickens we have.

    Oh I forgot to mention. I think the black ameraucana might be a mix with an australorp because of the blue/green tint to it's feathers. Maybe the same with the 4th chicken(black with a brown head) That one has some blue/green tint too. What do you think?

    I was thinking that one is a light sussex also. What color eggs do you think she will lay? I doubt any of them are purebred ameraucanas. The man we got them from said he likes to mix up his chickens. He thinks they are healthier that way. Thanks for the insight! I'm really excited to see...

    Thanks K spot! I see what you are saying about the welsummers. I was looking at her yellow neck feathers. Wonder what she is then? Thanks for explaining the difference between EE and Ameraucanas. Only my white leghorns and red sex links are laying, so should be interesting to see what color...

    Need help identifying what breed of chickens we have.

    The white and black one has a single comb. The last picture, the man we got them from were calling them sussex. They have yellowish legs and single combs I believe, so Pele is saying barred rocks? So I dunno Do you think the first one might be a welsummer? And what characteristics...

    Thanks so much for your input! Here's another picture of #1 and #4. I didn't think they were easter eggers, but who knows! Your guess is probably better than mine.

    Need help identifying what breed of chickens we have.

    Got our first flock of chickens but not sure what breed they are. The man we got them from says they are a mix of different breeds. I have my guesses, but wanted to see what others thinks. Also, they should all be hens(hopefully). Let us know if there are any suspicious possible roosters in...
