    She died moments ago. RIP Mono Lisa. Thank you for your advice.

    My star RIR might be sick.

    And she was up and walking around a bit. I can lift her on her legs, but then she lies down again.

    My star RIR might be sick.

    I don't have that fine of a scale, but her size is normal and about the same weight just by lifting her. She is now laying down as if she ready to sleep. I just gave her some water with a straw and she took it.

    My star RIR might be sick.

    I just tried another bath and she rolled over and almost went under. She is now laying on a towel with her legs sticking out to the side. I was not able to feel an egg. Her breathing seems fine. I have no way to get calcium tonight.

    My star RIR might be sick.

    This afternoon I noticed my star hen was standing in the corner and not moving around. I walked over to give her a gentle nudge and she let me (which is not common). As I was collecting eggs throughout the day, I thought one of the girls broke her egg as I got a bit of yolk on my fingers. I...

    Dumbest Things People Have Said About Your Chickens/Eggs/Meat

    Ha ha yes. I just found it funny that the guy assumed that store eggs weren't warm when the chicken layed them. To each their own!

    Got my first egg today from...

    The chicken I thought was a roo! She is 19 weeks 2 days old today and after some crazy chicken behavior today, decided to lay an egg. Twix was a little crazy today. She came up on the deck and stood by the door yelling away at me three times today. Then she decided to go over to my...

    awaken at 3AM

    Well, I had my first frightening experience as a chicken owner. I often wake around 3AM to do some work on my computer (single FT dad and business owner). As I was sitting here I heard my chickens making a lot of noise, so out I go to see what's going on. First thing that hit me was a smell...

    Rhode Island Red sex

    Yes, I see what you mean. I will call the hatchery as the claim was I bought pure bred Rhode Island Reds. Two of them (including the one in the photo) are of lighter color than the rest. In any case they are a lot of fun and we are really only raising them as pets. Eggs are a bonus. The...
