    Barred Rock thread!!

    One of ours started around 20 weeks. We are now approaching 25 weeks and I don't believe they are all laying yet. I have 9 Barred and 3 Brahma. I get about 7 consistently every day for about a week now. The eggs are starting to get bigger so that makes us excited.

    We believe this is my girl Claire all grown up. She loves to sit on me when I go outside to the table.

    What's the sweetest thing you've ever seen a chicken do?

    During my morning mediation this lady jumped up to be pet like a cat. Too cute!

    First Time Chick Parents, Spring 2016

    One of my girls laid her first egg over a week ago. We have received 3 from her in a matter of 5 days. She has not laid any since!! The first two were in the coop. Then we got the nesting boxes in and her third was in a box. We have looked around in the places that they like to lay, under...

    What treat did your chickies get today?

    Today my girls ate the pulp from my juicer, a piece of tomato and tops of peppers.

    Our First Lady has begun to lay!! She has given us three eggs over six days. We are so excited but can't wait until she produces more and for the other 11 ladies to join in the fun.

    They will come back to their coop at dusk naturally. You won't have to herd them. They instinctually go back to their safe place when it starts to get dark.

    [/IMG][/IMG] Our girls are 20 weeks old. We socialized with them a lot when they were babies and now they are totally comfortable and actually like to come near us. I thoroughly enjoy sitting outside and watching them.

    I just went to the coop to check on our 7 1-2 week old chicks and I saw one had a trail of thick looking red blood coming from her butt. I watched her poop and it came out normally without a streak of blood in it but she did pull it out with her beak a little. Does anyone know what it could...
