    Funny things I've noticed...

    I love my chicken's personalities. RIR's (2): One is overly-friendly, she is also highest in the pecking order. She doesn't boss anyone around - you can tell it's just accepted that she is the boss, no questions asked. The other is probably one of the lower ones in the order - she is very...

    Extreme Couponing Show**Update pic heavy**

    I LOVE coupons - I collect the inserts from my paper, my grandparent's paper, and my mother's paper every Sunday. I don't understand why these people need all that stuff though. I like getting something for free, but 50, 100, or more of the same item for free? No thanks. I really liked the...

    Im removing 2 of 4 roos....what to expect? HHHmmmm?

    I had to get rid of a roo a few months ago. He was too aggressive and we didn't really want a roo anyways (he was supposed to be a hen). The remaining 5 hens seemed a little lost for the first few days but they quickly established a new pecking order and having been doing great since!

    egg problem

    My 6 month old BR just started laying a little over 2 weeks ago. She laid two or three normal eggs then she started having problems. She acted really strange - not walking around, just standing in one corner of the coop, staring off into the woods. When I would let all the girls (5 hens) out...

    What can I expect from an EE?

    My EE laid her first egg today!!! It was a pretty bluish/green egg and rather small. She is the first one we've ever had so I was wondering how often they lay eggs? I'm calling her EE based on things I've read here on BYC. I purchased her at a local feed store and she was advertised as an...

    Egg Song! I wanted to share this LOL

    I love the "egg song". Four of my five girls sing it (darn EE is too quiet). DH & I both laugh when we hear it!

    How much do you feed??? And what kinds-Layer, grower, scratch?

    I have 5 hens and they don't go through much at all. I feed them the Layena pellets and I have to fill their (somewhat small) feeder every 2 or 3 days. They free-range every day and I give them treats at night. For treats, they normally get 1/2 container yogurt, strawberries, and some pasta...

    Starting a garden

    I have a small garden in our backyard. I'm hoping the fence around it will keep the chickens out - they are awful nosey though! I did plant some left over seeds by their run. I'm hoping it will last long enough that they will be content with picking in their areas as opposed to picking out of...

    Hens laying elsewhere

    I've been lurking for a couple of weeks but have learned so much from this board! My question - I have 2 RIR's that have been laying for a few weeks now. My BR and BO have finally joined them in laying as well. I was out of town last week and my husband found three eggs in the coop one day...
