    Post your FIRST EGG pics!

    Yay! It would make sense for this to be the Brahma if it tends to match the earpatch feathers because this lady is a very light orange color, we call her Peaches. :) Thanks for the tip, I'm going to still hope to see some blue eggs in our future. :D

    Post your FIRST EGG pics!

    I actually think she was supposed to be an ameraucana as noted on my purchase receipt, I misspelled it! But, maybe I actually wrote it the right way for what I actually have!!! Hmmm...

    Post your FIRST EGG pics!

    Hi there, we have a new layer and I'm so confused! See this little white-ish egg????? We don't have a chicken that's supposed to lay white eggs, I'm so confused! LOL We have 5 red sex links (all laying), 1 barred rock (laying), 1 americauna and 1 buff brahma who are new this year. We haven't...

    Chicken mating thread !!!

    wow, that was a great explanation! I had a friend ask me if the rooster had a penis and I assumed yes, but really had no idea how that worked. :) Now I know.

    Egg laying problem and question?

    This happened to us tonight! We were eating dinner when my daughter told me to go look at the ground because there was "something interesting" and boy was she right! My girls just started laying, we found our first eggs on Sunday after being gone for the weekend (3 good solid eggs!). I read...

    Hen looks like she has an egg stuck on the front of her neck/breast

    Thank you! I just googled this as well and decided it must be her crop. She must have gobbled up a ton of food today! Thanks for your reply! :)

    Hen looks like she has an egg stuck on the front of her neck/breast

    I've been noticing that my barred rock hen looks to have a huge lump on her right side (in front of her legs). It's about the size of an egg. She's been talking an awful lot lately and I've been thinking (HOPING) she is going to lay soon. I've never read about them getting a lump on their...

    Golden Sexlink Crowing

    Thanks for posting a pic of your SL - mine look just like that, and when I read the first post I had wondered if I got the wrong thing! :)

    post your chicken coop pictures here!

    Here's our coop. We built it to match the shed we built 2 years ago. The great part about our coop is that we had most of the materials on hand (leftovers from other projects) and spent less than $300 on it (hardware cloth is expensive stuff!).

    A coop built with the floor made of hardware cloth? Dh wants to do it like that......

    We have hardware cloth on the bottom of our run and it's worked out well. We started with straw in there (over the hardware cloth), but recently changed out to sand. The sand is working out well and the raccoons can't get in. The coop/run have never smelled and we haven't needed to clean it yet...

    Slipped Achilles' tendon?

    I have a rooster who is now 16 weeks and he is hobbling along on one leg. I'm assuming he had a slipped tendon and we just didn't get to it soon enough. We thought he had a broken leg, but there doesn't seem to be any pain in it. He just simply can't touch the ground with that leg now. Is there...

    The Ameraucana Thread: Where everything and anything about the breed can be discussed (APA, Non-Stan

    Bummer. Ya, he is about 8 or 9 weeks old now. I wonder if he's too close to our neighbors. We have almost a full acre of property, but the neighbors house is about 50-75' from the coop.

    Note that our coop isn't totally finished and they will have something other than wire in their run soon. ;)
