I have 4 hens at the moment... 2 buff orpingtons and 2 new Hampshire reds. They are just now a year old, and in the past week one of the hens has started laying almost pure white eggs. I've tried searching on here and haven't found any great answers. Does anyone have any thoughts? Should we...

We have some chicks due the 18th of March. It's our first time incubating. We bought a genesis hovabator 1588. We put 37 eggs in and candled yesterday. I think we're down to 26 (11 not developing). 13 of the eggs are from our own flock, and we bought 24 Marans eggs locally. I think the...

Where in MI? I may be interested.

Now THAT is some good information. Are there any other characteristics of an Amer that I could look for? He'll be bred with all brown egg layers. I guess we'll have to wait and see what we get :)

I'm from Michigan Can someone explain to me the difference between americauna and ee? From what I understand, an ee has americauna in it, just mixed with another breed. Is that true?

this rooster was given to me by a friend to get some fertilized eggs for our incubator. idk if this is an obvious answer or not. my friend said he's an ameraucana, but he doesnt look like any that i've seen online. any thoughts are appreciated :) p.s. he was just in the cage for a short...

Sounds like an interesting experiment. What will you do when showering? Also, (I'm not a woman, so excuse my ignorance) where will they be when you sleep? My wife doesn't like to sleep with a bra on. Hopefully I don't sound like a creep... just wondering. Good luck!

My biggest fear is that it might bring a disease in. I've read on here that it isn't good to bring mature chickens into your flock. It will only be for two weeks. I'm planning on doing it unless someone can give me good reason not to. I'd just hate to lose my flock (as small as it may be).

My wife and i have 5 hens and are hoping to hatch some of their eggs this spring. Our roosters that we had last year were getting a little aggressive so we decided to make them dinner. Anyway, we have a friend who has a bunch of chickens, and we're hoping to borrow one of his roosters so we...

thanks for the quick post how are they attached to the coop... i guess that's my main question along with supports to the wall.

hello all... so i built a chicken coop this past spring. it turned out great and i'm very happy with it, but i was rushed to get the chicks in it because they were out-growing their brooder. in my haste, i left out building the nest boxes that i really wanted. i want to build some external...

just realized i was in the wrong section... how do i move/delete this?
