    Starlight Green Egger

    For those who were following before, our SGEs are now a little over a year old. We have been consistently getting an egg each almost every day. Sometimes we will only have one or the other, but most days we have two green eggs in our nesting box. They even laid pretty well through the winter...

    Help Deformed egg

    I didnt take a picture, but i had an egg a couple weeks ago out of the blue like this. It was also larger than normal for us, so I assumed it was like when babies get cone heads from being in the birth canal too long.

    So, meet Rosie and Daisy. They are hatchmates that a friend incubated and we have raised since the day they hatched. Well, Daisy has been laying about 3 weeks and we have wondered when Rosie will start laying. Over the past week Rosie has had some changes that set her apart from Daisy. I am...

    Our First Egg!

    Funny story, Miss Rose has been "singing" all morning about her egg. She was making an alarming sound and we didn't know what was going on. After some searching the forums, we realized it was normal and she was just proud of her accomplishment.
