    Bare Skin on My BSL

    My 1 year old BSL has large patches of skin exposed on her hindquarters. It is bright red (I'm not sure if that is the proper skin color for a BSL), It doesn't seem to bother her. She's had it for over a month, I guess I thought it was just molting at first. It hasn't gotten any better, Any...

    How long on average for a Polish hen to begin egglaying??

    I have a much loved WCBP that didn't start laying until she was 10 months old. We get an adorable little egg about every other day.

    Andalusian Blue . . . laying brown eggs?

    I was wondering this too. My Andalusian is black with white spots near her ears. I read that this means she should lay white eggs. She is now 7 months old and I haven't seen a single white egg.

    So My Roo is starting to get "Friendly"...

    I saw my Roo Hamlet making his intentions known with my 15 week RSL. Does he know something I don't? Does this mean she is getting ready to lay? Can you tell how excited I am for my (her) first egg?

    My Suburban Chicken House

    Fabulous! Your chicks will love it. I am so glad we don't have an architectural committee! I love our coop but it certainly is not as fancy as that. You have done an amazing job!!

    Does anyone have pics of Martha Stewart's coop?

    Quote: Think that is a restroom as there is a toilet in the background. Sorry if I'm stating the obvious, but I think that's her jail cell!

    roosting problems

    I was worried about my "kids" too! They seemed quite happy to just sleep snuggled up on the floor of the coop. Then one night I went out to shut the hatch and I thought all of my chickens were gone! I craned my neck to look up into the coop and there they all were> I was so proud:D!! It was...

    Need help with coop plans

    I used the Purina coop plan http://poultry.purinamills.com/stellent/groups/public/documents/web_content/ecmd0007989.pdf It's so basic you could certainly adapt it for a larger coop. Good luck!

    I bought a Red Star and a Black Star from the pullet bin at the feed store. I'm sorry if this is a stupid question but doesn't that mean that they are definitely girls? I just want to be sure before i get even more attached that I can keep them. They are about 6 weeks old and the Black sex...
