    I'd much rather see this than go to the Coopersville car show again. 🥵🫠 I just told hubby about it and we might go!

    Honestly I have no idea. Just grasping at straws. If the snake touched me I'd be dead :eek: One of the pullets left this double rubber egg in the run a few days ago but I'm not sure which one. That's why I was wondering if it was a reproductive issue.

    I forgot to mention that the pullet that died also ate a "big scary" snake few days ago. I'm pretty sure it was probably a hognose or brown snake. It was about the size of a pencil :oops:

    Has anyone had any issues with their chickens and the wildfire smoke? I'm trying to figure out why I lost two in a matter of hours. I had a pullet that seemed a bit off for a couple of days. We gave her a calcium pill last night thinking it was a reproductive issue. We've had several rubber eggs...

    16 week cockerel behavior questions

    I have a cockerel and pullets at 17 weeks old. The cockerel has been lower in the pecking order. However, in the past couple of weeks, he has been moving up in the ranks. He has been asserting his self more and more every day. So maybe there's hope that when the hormones kick in with your...

    Trying to identify hens we bought.

    It does look like you have a diamond duchess. Looks like it's getting a crest. I have two and they both have a crest.

    Last Friday, my blue Plymouth rock, Blueberry, laid her first egg. It was a tiny double yolk egg. Of the three that she laid this week, all have been double yolk eggs. Last night she passed a rubber egg right in front of me. I hope this doesn't mean that she's going to have reproductive issues...

    The Omega Rocks: The Last & Ultimate Barred Plymouth Rock Flock

    I'd have no chance in your barn either. :eek::barnie:th I'm terribly terrified of snakes. Probably because of having grown up in GA and my own mom was afraid of them too. However, here in MI, I don't have to worry about poisonous snakes except for one. The Michigan rattlesnake. It's not seen...

    One of my blue Plymouth rocks laid her first egg yesterday. I cracked it open today and it's a double yolk! I've never seen such a tiny double yolk egg 😄

    When I was a little girl growing up in the south, we used to catch those and tie a string to one of their legs and let them fly around. Thus the expression "like a June bug on a string". My mystery chick at approximately 15 weeks old gave me my first egg today. I wasn't expecting it this soon...

    I do a lot of tomatoes also. More than we need. Last year I tried canning spaghetti sauce for the first time and it's really yummy.
