Thanks! :-D

Happy to report things have calmed down in the coop, we're getting a pretty pink egg from lady nugget every day. And I'm just thrilled that we got a nice blue egg today, WOOHOO! Not sure who layed it but I have a suspect in mind.

very exciting! I had my first chicken as an assignment back in high school and have loved them since. They are like feathered children. I called my mother when we found our first eggs, she said congrats youre a grandma! Hehe

Lovely eggs btw! our layer, nugget, is laying peachy colored eggs. The other 5 girls have pea and rose combs so I'm hoping for an olive egger in the flock. Nugget is the only one with a large comb and waddles.

She layed again just a bit ago. Im thinking she just wanted the other girls to give her some privacy. Lol. She was making such a fuss tgat our silkie roo was crowing right along with her.

We have 6 Easter egger pullets who are 19 weeks old as of Saturday. To my suprise I found 2 eggs in one nesting box yesterday! Yay! I had a sneaking suspicion which girl layed them, she's been squatting. Today she is breaking my heart. She's going in and out of the chicken house, picking through...

Minutes away. :)

Good to know. Thanks. Doesn't matter to me either way but I was very curious. :)

They are about 7 weeks old now

I got my chicks at a feed store, they were labled araucana. Since I knew nothing of the breed I did a little research and decided they were ameraucanas. Then I was told they were just ees. Chickadee shows signs of beard Fluffy also looks bearded. Nugget Sunshine (yellow) meanie (brown) Moe...

I live in carrollton and recently got 6 chicks. I hadn't bothered to check local law until now. I was very surprised to see that I am only allowed 6 hens. I have lived here 3 years and seen many roosters around the neighborhood. Hopefully we wont have any troubles. In the sandhill area.

Chicken lover from carrollton GA :) We have 6 ee's that are about 6 weeks old now. Nugget chickadee fluffy Sunshine Meanie Moe Hoping all my girls are girls.

Love my ee chicks nugget, chickadee, sunshine, meanie, fluffy, and Moe. They are about 6 weeks old here and hopefully all hens. We aren't sure of nugget (the black and white chick) but hope she is indeed a she. They are all very skiddish still, bummer. I've spent lots time with them...

I am so impatient! I have also heard of hens crowing but never seen it myself. I really hope nugget is a hen.

Thanks!
