    First egg is funny looking!

    I have 5 hens and 2 have started actively laying. I found a third egg in the coop today though that was really small, a little pointier, lighter in color, and kind of translucent with this tiny dots all over it. I know first eggs can be funky looking but I just wanted to make sure this didn’t...

    First eggs!

    My big girl Luisa laid her first egg today. It was absolutely massive. It ended up being a double yolk. Definitely did not expect her first egg to be so huge.

    Anyone wanna help gender my chicks?

    I’d like a hen! If they end up being a roo, they’ll go live a happy life down the road at my dads farm since I can’t have Roos here, so no biggie. But considering Val is my sweetest cuddliest bird I’d love to keep them. Thanks for the tips! I will def keep a close eye ☺️

    Finished building our first coop!

    For sure gonna put the rungs for them, just kinda took these pics in between. As for the wire, I was reading into using hardware cloth. I don’t live near any wooded areas or anything so I didn’t see predators being a problem but I think just incase I will go ahead and use hardware cloth. Thanks...

    Finished building our first coop!

    My husband built our little chickies this beautiful coop. Can’t wait to paint it. I’m thinking to do the deep litter method. If anyones got any tips on how to get started that’d be appreciated! I’m a little overwhelmed with the thought of it but have read great things. I’m also concerned we may...

    Anyone wanna help gender my chicks?

    Hi there! I’ve got some 9 or maybe 10 week old chicks that I’ve been *dying* to gender. Well, it’s really not that serious, but I’m excited about it and I am impatient! My two barred rocks, Negra, the first photo, and Valentina, the baby with the splint (she broke her leg but is healing quite...
