    Help with breed?

    A couple weeks ago, a friend gave us 5 chicks from her order of 15 and said they were "Buffs". I'm guessing they are 3 weeks old? We have a couple Buff Orpingtons and assumed that these were also but now that their feathers are coming in I'm not so sure. They also seem to have a different...

    Dead Buff Orpington

    I came home from work to find one of our 1 year old Buffs (Buffy) dead in the run. We have 9 chickens. They were all fine and normal when I came home for lunch. I don't see any signs of a struggle or intruder and I don't see any injuries on her body. The other 8 all seem fine. I sat with them...

    Found Seemingly Healthy Chicken Dead Need Ideas

    I know how you feel. I'm sorry. I came home from work to this almost exact senario. Mine was a one year old Buff Orpington. She was fine at lunch 3 hours ago and I sat with all 9 of our chickens last night and all were fine and acting completely normal. She even launched herself from the...

    Opinions on which chicks to order?

    Also in WI. I am very happy with the laying and disposition of my Barred Rocks, Buff Orpingtons and EE's.

    Good chickens to start with?

    I personally love my Barred Rocks, Buff Orpingtons and Easter Eggers. All good egg layers and very sweet personalities. I could do without the Rhode Island Reds. Sure they lay great but they are b*%#@^s! I would look for breeds that will do well in your climate also. It pays to do your research.

    Laying 2 eggs at a time?

    Thank you. That's kind of what I was thinking.

    Laying 2 eggs at a time?

    I have 9 chickens. 6 that lay brown eggs and 3 that lay green. Lately we've been getting a total of 9 eggs per day and each day it's 7 brown eggs and 2 green eggs. What's going on? Is one chicken laying 2 eggs at a time? It's just after noon and I've gathered 7 brown eggs already. Is it...

    Oyster shell question!

    Yes you can. My bag of Oyster Shell gives directions for mixing it with the feed. Read your package.

    What are the odds of this.

    We also took our chances at TSC out of a tank labeled "Amerucauna straight run" and got all pullets.

    8 week old EE's, all pullets?

    Thanks, I feel like a proud mom...

    Chickens are sleeping backwards.

    My 8 week olds sleep that way too. I wouldn't be concerned.

    8 week old EE's, all pullets?

    Thanks for your responses. We've been leaning towards them all being girls too, just not 90%. Not sure the kids want to be chicken sexers. LOL. Who knows maybe the tank was labeled wrong? We weren't planning on having 3 EE's. Oh well.

    8 week old EE's, all pullets?

    Did my kids pick out all pullet chicks EE's at TSC 8 weeks ago? None have spurs. Henrietta... George... Amelia...
