    New eggs!!!

    I am not completely sure, but I do know that some people keep eggs at room temp. So I would think they would be fine. Here is a link that may be helpful: http://www.thekitchn.com/is-refrigerating-eggs-necessary-176617

    How deep to trim wings

    I am new to having chickens. At first we clipped both wings. But all four of our Orpingtons could still get over the 5ft fence. The we started clipping just one and let the other one grow out. They did a few face plants, but don't even try to escape anymore.

    New eggs!!!

    I am fairly new to having chickens as well. Buy my first four chickens started laying mid summer. They usually lay their eggs between 10 and 2 pm daily. I am always there to collect on weekends. But during the week, the eggs stay in the coup until I get home at 6pm. I live in Louisiana, summers...

    need help with identifying my new layers

    I agree, they are pretty. My girls named them Penny and Maria. I was hoping for colored eggs just for the fun of it. But I am glad to be getting 5-6 eggs per day. No more buying eggs!

    need help with identifying my new layers

    My pullets were hatched mid October. None of them are acting the way my Orps did before they started laying. Also, I was told these new birds were one year and one and a half years old. But who knows? Here's a current pic which includes my pullets

    need help with identifying my new layers

    Hi. I need some help identifying my new birds. I had 17 birds, but only 4 that were old enough to lay. So I decided to get a few that were already laying. I thought the lady said they were Aracauna's but she did have quite a speech problem. After reading about the breed, I am at a loss for that...

    How many chickens do we all have? 60,083 and counting.

    63611 + 16 = 63627 I only have 4 that are laying, but by mid spring, I will have more eggs than I know what to do with!
