    The first egg!!

    ok so I go out of the house for an hour or so and check on the girls on my return and find another egg... is it odd for them to start on the same day? I'm trying to figure out who laid this one.. and could there be more today? I'm super excited now

    The first egg!!

    I had just about given up on eggs for the winter.. but I got a little surprise this morning beside the waterer. It must be from Dorthy my Dorking as she is the only white egg layer in the flock and has the biggest bright red comb. The egg looks huge in the picture but it looks small or maybe...

    Silver grey Dorking?

    Thank you for the confirmation :) I had never heard of them before.. but then i am pretty new to chickens. I'm thinking it is a very happy accident that I needed up with her, she's been my favourite from the start.

    Silver grey Dorking?

    I purchased an assortment of 3 week old chicks ( vent sexed Pullets) 6 weeks ago. The one that was meant to be a Welsummer had 5 toes.. I didn't think much of it at the time since she seemed healthy and happy and she is the sweetest calmest one. Now that all her feathers are in she is not...

    My set up and a few questions about litter ....

    A boulder and very uneven hard ground in that spot ( the only spot we can legally keep chickens) so my husband built a platform over it. I realize now we probably could have just let the chickens have a rock in the middle of thier run after learning about DLM but this is what we have to work...

    My set up and a few questions about litter ....

    So if the bottom of my run is vinyl flooring instead of the litter directly on dirt/the ground .. will it matter?

    My set up and a few questions about litter ....

    Warmer weather is predicted here this weekend and I'm looking forward to putting my little 4 weekers out in the run on the warmer days. The coop isn't quite finished so they will be brought inside to sleep for a while yet and until it warms up at night. So this requires me to make a decision...

    Hello ...

    Hello everyone, I picked up my first chicks about a week ago. 7 girls (hopefully). I had some trouble deciding on a breed or two and came home with 2 Easter eggers, 1 Welsummer, 1 australorp, 1 Light Brahma, 1 Barnevelder, and a Cuckoo Maran. All about 3 weeks old at the time. I have them in...
