    Introducing chickens (mother and chick and separate pullets)

    This is Salt (Araucana X) and her adopted chick Vanilla Bean (light Sussex). She’s been a great mother. They currently sleep in a smaller coop with mini built in run in the covered larger run.

    Bumpy first egg

    Hopefully it sorts itself out. Feed wise, premium 17% protein grain with no grind crumble, mixed with some whole grain scratch mix. I give this to them straight and also ferment it. Plus daily kitchen fruit, veg scraps. And they free range after their morning kitchen feed.

    Bumpy first egg

    We have a new egg today. We have been waiting to see what colour egg she lays… This being her first egg should I be concerned with the amount of calcium build up on the shell? All hens are on the same diet and no issues with their shells. First pic of blue egg is true to colour

    Colour changing eggs

    Is it possible that a hen lays different coloured eggs? I understand there could be slight tone differences but these are so different to me. I’ve even had 2 pastel blue/aqua eggs from her.

    Hi I’m new to chicken ownership and require some assistance in identifying these 2 hens. Sorry about the photos, the grey hen kept moving. I have seen her lay a light small cream egg of that helps. The black one I have not seen lay as yet and I’m not even sure if she is laying yet. The person...
