    I am soooo depressed and angry

    All ten of my little fuzzy-butt friends just went bye-bye. After working my whole life, I was enjoying my retirement and caring for my little feathered charges, even if it did mean getting up at the crack of dawn. But, alas it wasn't meant to be. Dang it, I have to go back to work. I'm...

    No supplemental heat in CO?

    Thanks Jody Jo: I know they are a hardy bunch. I raised Legerns (IA pronunciation) in Iowa years ago. Sustained COLD and deep wet snow. I'm just not use to this much wind and the cluckers don't like it either. Thankfully I have only one oddball EE with a single comb, but the remainder...

    No supplemental heat in CO?

    Quote: Any thoughts? I am curious as to how many cluckers you have in the snuggle club. I close all doors and windows when the temp gets below freezing and at night. They can free range during the day but rarely come out unless I am outside or the sun is setting and the wind calms...

    No supplemental heat in CO?

    No heat for our 10 cluckers here in NE CO either. The last two days it has been 20ish during the day and 0 or below at night. Our 12'x9' coop is divided into 3 sections by half walls. Nesting area, roosting area (center) and feed storage. The floor is concrete with a foot and a half of hay...

    Ameraucanas true or fake?!?

    mshuey1 What r the qualification to being a true Ameraucanas? I did a lot of research after receiving the Ameraucanas from the feed store that I ordered them from. The two that are laying give us olive colored eggs Here are my EEs

    Olive Egger??

    One of my Ameracaunas (EE) has just started laying. She has given us 5 eggs in 7 days all of which are large and olive colored. The last egg #6 we received was light olive with large blue splotches. I had to find a jumbo carton for that one. The lid of the large egg carton would not close...

    Post your FIRST EGG pics!

    Nitrostreak Patience.. I was envious also looking at what all these younger ladies had produced. My girls turned 5 mos. on Sunday and surprised me with my first green EE egg on Monday. Today was #2, same color, so I am assuming it was the same hen. Walkinghorse I am jealous now WOW!!! 19 week...

    I'm gonna be RICH!

    Quote: If I had a chicken that layed just one egg between now and Easter it would end up as the main ingredient in the soup! Now that I reread the original post, I would have came to the same conclusion. Thankfully, today I am up to 2 green eggs. Still waiting for the remaining ladies to...

    I'm gonna be RICH!

    I was just presented with my first green egg from one of my 9 EE hens today so this question is definitely for future reference. I'm thinking Easter. How long can eggs be kept and still be considered fresh enough to sell as "Farm Fresh"? BTW That first egg has a price tag of about...
