    Quote: Haazegirl your ducks are beautiful! I'm getting some of these in the next couple of weeks. So excited! I'm sorry about your loss though. Stupid wind and cold. We didn't get above 23 yesterday and had snow on and off all day. I like to think I'm pretty tough in cold weather (I'm a...

    California Gray???

    Does anyone have an insight as to these birds behavior? I REALLY want a white egg layer but it seems like most of them (from what I have read) are flighty. And with three kids, a dog and various farm equipment making noise all the time I imagine they wouldn't stick around long. I've read the...

    Green yolks and shredded paper?

    My husband and I had an "Ah Ha!" moment earlier today. I didn't realize that the majority of the paper we were using came from my father in laws printer. It's this big, weird industrial thing which uses this ink that is dyed wax. I thought I had checked the papers well enough. Usually it's...

    Green yolks and shredded paper?

    We used a mixture of papers. It was newspapers first for a few days and then we started shredding office paper we'd printed. I checked the different papers over carefully (I thought) to make sure it wasn't rubbing off a lot. I'm thinking the time of year played a big part in this. We've had...

    Green yolks and shredded paper?

    they'reHISchickens - That's exactly what we're thinking. It seems strange that I've never seen anything about other people having experienced this. I did talk to a local friend though who said she went through the same things though. Thought it was a great idea and then her yolks turned...

    Green yolks and shredded paper?

    About a week ago we ran out of nesting materials for our chickens. We had just cleaned out a bunch of files so had a lot of shredable paper and thought we would give that a shot in the boxes. It's worked ok, though it's not ideal, and we'd planned to at least finish the papers we have before...
