Great! Thanks everyone!

I got these two a few years back and can not remember what breed they were for the life of me. I'm sure I'll remember it once I hear it again, but I would love to get more like them and cannot remember what they're called.

One of my EE laid a blue egg but hasn't laid another one for about a month. All of my other chickens lay brown eggs and she's the only blue layer. They free range but they all lay in the coop boxes. She is at the age to start laying, and I've only gotten one egg but she hasn't laid anymore. Is...

My youngest pullet had this a month ago and it went away in a few days, but my other hen just got it. I put VetRX on it the last time and it cleared up really fast, but this time it isn't going away as fast... did what you had done work?

I don't think she can see very well and I don't know what to do. Any idea what it is or what could have happened? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Ok, I was really hoping he would turn out to be a pullet but he acts very different from the rest of the pullets and the older hens bully him more so I was really confused because he was meant to be a girl. Thanks for your help though!

Can anyone tell me if this is a cockerel or pullet or is it to soon to tell? He/she is about 4-5 weeks old, thanks!

I have a few new chicks for this season and they have been staying in the coop and run, but when can I safely allow them to free range with the older chickens? The new ones are still a little small but they are feathered out and are doing well outside. Also how long should they stay in the coop...

Thanks a lot! We do free range during the day, but I'll wait for a weekend when I can watch them for a while.

We just decided to go with newly hatched chicks because of other reasons, but we think we're gonna try hatching next year when we have more time. Thanks for everything though!

We have two 3 week easter egger pullets and 3 other few day old chicks to add to our current small flock of Orpingtons. All the chicks and older chickens are pullets by the way - its still too cold outside for any of the chicks to go out for the night - but when it is time, how should I...

My sister's guinea pigs have to stay in the basement due to my allergies. We have a thermometer down there that says it's 63ºF. Is that ok for them to stay down there or should we find a new place in the house?

Thank you all so much! And were getting some eggs mailed to us because we want to try raising some new breeds and don't know any one in the area to sell us the chicks we want. I'm so excited!

We are getting some eggs and this will be our first time hatching! I need all the help I can get, from incubator blueprints to any extra ideas or helpful tid-bits. When we get the eggs do we put them straight in the incubator? What temp should it be? How long should they stay in after they...

I have orpington hens and I was wondering what other breeds would get along with them that are close to their size but also good egg layers. Any suggestions?
