    First Egg Countdown

    I think my 7 month old speckled Sussex is getting ready to finally lay. Every time I pet her, she sticks her butt up in the air like she is waiting on a rooster. Caught her in the nesting box too

    Is this normal?

    My RIR seems to have quit growing. She's about the same size she was at 4 months. Here's a pic of her now, at 6.5 months. Her comb is at the same size now as it was at Christmas. Is she just a runt, is she sick? Am I just a worrier? At one point in time she was the same size as my other birds of...

    The Heritage Rhode Island Red Site

    My RIR, Shelby is now 6.5 months. However she seems to have stopped growing. Her comb is not coming in. She looks the same as she did at 4.5 months. Do you think she is just a late bloomer, or is this standard, or am I just an old worrier. Please make me feel good.

    First Egg Countdown

    I was asking this question on a smaller thread and I guess no one saw it. I know this is a begninner question, but that's what I am. Can I assume my girls will continue to grow after they start laying. If so, will the eggs get bigger too?

    When is a chicken fully grown?

    I was asking a similar question to someone this weekend. I assume my girls will continue to grow after they start laying. Am I correct? If so, will the eggs get bigger too?

    Allowing cooped chickens to free range

    I am scared to let my chickens out because we have tons of predators. On days that I don't have to work, I let them out for an hour a day. I stay outside with them the whole time while they forage. I block off the back of pen then I huddle them toward the gate. It seems they get excited and go...

    First Egg Countdown

    Ugh, I keep waiting and waiting. Each day is like Christmas morning to see if there are any eggs. One thing about the pic is she is a little more red, the dust had her looking a little faded. However, I noticed she isn't as red as my auracana that has been laying two weeks.

Paula dean does not live in the savannah city limits, so the rules that affected het were from the county. This new ordinance...

    I assumed this black copper maranwould be my first to lay. Next week she will be 7 months. Her comb and waddle turned red at Christmas. Anybody want to take a guess at how long before she starts?
