    Brown egg layers now laying white...

    We only have one EE laying right now and that's her egg at the top. The other is raising a couple of chicks right now and hasn't been laying. I forgot to put in my list we have 2 buff chanteclers which also lay brown eggs. Most of my gals are starting to molt right now except the sex links and...

    Black star sex links, easter eggers, and RIR. The RIR are a February hatch from this year.

    Brown egg layers now laying white...

    Not sure which girls started laying white eggs. I lost my only white egg gal earlier this year. I suspect it's 2 of my 3 sex links. They are 3 this year. Is this normal age-related stuff or should I be concerned? Pic attached of today's eggs. TIA!

    New baby (pic)! And a couple questions.

    One of our easter eggers went broody and we let her. This is our first year with roosters (Feb hatch.) She is hoarding a clutch of 17. The first 5 she sat on were 21 days old yesterday. She gathered this clutch over a 2 week time span. We aren't expecting all of them to hatch or for her to have...

    Behavior question

    I wanted to give a little update. Kiddo got first in American breeding pair, and reserve grand champion in overall breeding pairs. Production pen came in 3rd. Reintegration went better than expected. Pullets went into the coop at night, and seemed to remember home and had no issues. We put the...

    Behavior question

    Thank you both for your opinions. The rooster we took was the more submissive of the two and ran from every challenge. I am worried about the integration aspect and the 2 roos. The roo we left here is sweeter with humans of the two...at least for now. He likes to nap in your lap and get...

    Behavior question

    Hello! I have a couple questions. We ordered a few exhibition RIRs back in February for my kiddos 4h project. We ended up adding 2 cockrels and 3 pullets to our existing flock of 9 hens. Info from the hatchery said about 6 hens to a roo. We have just the right size flock for that. Integration...

    Gifted an older incubator...

    We were gifted an incubator. We have just completed our first year with chickens. So I am a blank slate. The person who gifted it to us, thought he might have a friend with fertilized eggs we could try. He said he'd see if he could locate some. We do not have a roo for our pwn girls. If he is...

    Liquid Urates

    I found another thread, with a picture of a poop of exactly like what I'm seeing from this EE, coccidiosis was the general consensus. Closest farm supply store has corid in stock. Girls were raised on medicated feed, but I've not treated since. Thoughts?

    Liquid Urates

    I've got a young easter egger. She began laying in January, she will be a year old end of June. She's laying every other day. Acts and looks normal. Shortly after she began laying we had a heavy wet snow, and the girls went bananas scratching in it. That afternoon I found a poo on the patio...

    Ended BYC's 14th Annual New Year's Day Hatch-Along - 2023—Winter Photography Contest

    Not sure if that's the exact same one, I have several from that day and it's hard to tell from the little thumbnails on my phone.
