    no egg for third straight day?

    I have been getting eggs now out of both my hens for about 2.5 to 3 months so they are relatively new to laying but not super new. They are both speckled sussex but each has there own egg color (one is slightly more brown than the other) so I can always tell who laid what. I get an egg a day...

    Egg or Scab?

    yeah ok that sounds right cause she does not seem sick and it looks just like yoke...The first two eggs (again I don't know if they were from the same chicken or one from each hard to tell one each day) were not soft at all they were perfect both inside and out but they were like 2/3 regular...

    So I got my first egg yesterday but I have a question?

    I was thrilled over here yesterday to discover my first egg from my two 20 week old speckled Sussex hens (well I at least know one is a hen for sure now) but my question is how long does it take them to get into a laying pattern? The egg was small but perfect grade a in every way I just want to...

    Help: Sick chicken

    Ok so I have 3 9 week old speckled sussex hens (well we are think so anyway they came from a pullet run). About a week and a half ago I put them out of the house and into their new coop. They were in there for two days and nights. On the morning of the third day I noticed one chicken with a very...

    growth rate of chicks

    Boy I hope not I was worried about that I figured at 90% accuracy my chances were really good to get girls but two boys would be super unlucky....I can only have girls and only three in my tiny city yard. Well if that happens I suppose I will be back on here trying to figure out how to add...

    growth rate of chicks

    Ok that is good to know that seems reasonable that some might just be bigger than others...also do you know how it works at the hatcheries. Meaning do these chicks have the same parents or could they all be from different parents?? Because it seems that even within the same breed and same hatch...

Now it has been about a week and that one is feathering way faster it is still just slightly larger the growth seems to be...

    noob to the coop!

    So I am new to backyard chickens and new to chickens in general. I have always wanted some and finally took the plunge. I am only allowed three in my city so I got three speckled sussex pullets (well i am hopeful they are pullets anyway). They are about one week old now hatched on the 18th of...
