    Wasakat, very interesting point. I like that you specified that amounts that humans would be consuming because I think that is the main concern. Thanks for sharing your research.

    Comment by 'JLBS' in item 'Ameraucana'

    This is an update to my earlier post. My ameraucana has started laying beautiful blue eggs. We were so happy to find the large blue egg in her nest area. She kept running back and forth from the pen to us, so we checked her nest and there it was, blue as the sky! We are getting about three a...

    I know that she is still young, and that the environment can affect her egg laying behavior. Once she lays eggs, I will update my post to reflect what she does. Yes, she does have an interesting face. We call her facial feathers "mutton chops". I will eventually post a picture of her. Thanks for...

    Review by '' on item 'Ameraucana'

    My Ameraucana is such a sweet bird. She is fully white with sort of bluish legs. She likes all the other birds and does not fight for dominance. She has a distinctive alert call to the other birds when there is dog or cat near by, or when people come into the garden. This makes her such an...

    Post your FIRST EGG pics!

    My Buff Orpinton hen laid what I thought was her first egg today- IN MY BED! She stuck into my house, found my bed, ruffled the blankets into a comfy spot and laid an egg. I was shocked to walk into my room and see that little pink egg. I am keeping the door closed now so that she doesn't try...

    Sad times here..j

    I am so so sorry! We lost our hen Misty yesterday too. I bet you had a very happy chicken who felt loved and had a happy life. In the end, that's what matters. God bless, and best wishes for you and your loved ones.

    Soon to be New Colorado Springs Backyarder

    Hi Mama Hen 1, Welcome to BYC. I am also gardener and chicken owner too. First off, buying a coop is darn expensive if you are a regular person like me. On the other hand, some people have a hard time building due to heavy lifting, and the potential dangers in smashing or cutting your fingers...

    Now you're clucking!

    Hi! Welcome to BYC! My name is Jesse and I have two chickens, a rhode island red and a buff orpington. The red laid eggs before she was six months old. She is feisty, but we can handle her just fine. I am not sure I'd get another like her if I had very young children. However, the buff...
