    That is a welsummer. But I know that Easter eggers have similar markings, so it might be that, too!

    Buying new chicks on Friday, what should I get?

    I love buffs too! One of my buff hens lays eggs so big they don't fit in the carton.

    Buying new chicks on Friday, what should I get?

    Our local farm supply store has a great variety of chicken breeds this year. I have 12 chickens right now, the oldest in the flock are 3 years old. I'm going to be getting rid of 6, and I want to replace them with some different breeds. Here's what I have so far (the * indicates they are getting...

    New Fence/Pasture Construction

    We aren't going to add anything else at the bottom. They only free range during the day, and their coop is very secure. I haven't seen any evidence of predators, so I think we're okay. At least, they've been okay for 2 years without a fence! :)

    Thanks! We're hoping that our goats will stay put when they get here at the end of May!

    Holy Geez! Ideal is sold out of brown egg layers until when???

    Ack! You're post had me all nervous. But, I'm doing a special order through my feed store, so maybe they'll still have the ones I want? I'm ordering 3 Welsummers and 3 Buff Orphingtons.

    I'm getting baby chicks!!!! :D When should I order them?

    I just went to my feed store and placed an order. I did want some rare breeds, but they just order them the same time as the rest of their orders. It's definitely a better deal than ordering online, especially if you don't want any super special breeds. Good luck!

    What breed is are these black and white hens?

    I got some chickens from a family that no longer wanted to care for theirs. I know I have 2 easter eggers, 2 red stars, but, I'm not sure about the black and white ones. Any ideas?
