    How much DE do I use?

    Ok thanks. Now after you sprinkle it on top of everything do you then stir it up or leave it? Sorry for so many questions. I am a new chicken mama with 16 week old babies that I can't hardly wait to get the first egg from. I know I'll be doing the happy dance for sure! lol. I have 33 chicks...

    How much DE do I use?

    I see so much great stuff about DE and finally bought a big bag of food grade kind. But I am not sure how to use it. I have read over and over to "sprinkle" it all over the coop floor but how much is a sprinkle? And my floor is a 10x12. I am doing the DLM so I would love to know cups sizes. Like...

    Comment by 'NewChickHere' in item 'Marans'

    Hi. I just purchased 5 Black Copper Marans last week at 3 days old because I wanted the DARK brown chocolate looking eggs. I don't think you will get that with the Black Stars. So it's basically if you're looking for colored eggs. The Splash I think are the ones with pretty brown eggs with dark...

    Are Easter Eggers a real breed or a "mutt"? I'm confused.

    Thank you so much RidgeRunner for this great info. I am not sure why I didn't get a notification of this message that you posted 5 days ago I guess. Sorry I'm replying so late. Anyway, after reading your info I would be really disappointed if my 7 EEs that were sold to me as Araucanas only...

    Are Easter Eggers a real breed or a "mutt"? I'm confused.

    Thank you everyone! That is kind of what I was thinking they are and I am just looking for the colorful egg and a sweet chicken, not showing or breeding, so I feel I did pretty good with the ones I have. Course, I haven't got the first egg yet but I'm sure they'll all be pretty.

    Are Easter Eggers a real breed or a "mutt"? I'm confused.

    I purchased 7 Araucanas from Mc Murray but then have since read and learned that hatcheries pretty much do not sell these pure breeds. Then everyone tells me that they are Easter Eggers. Which is fine with me and I really hope they will lay colored eggs but is "Easter Egger" really a breed or...

    Will my BCM still lay DARK eggs if the roo is a Buff Orp?

    Ok now Silverfox has me confused. lol. I'm kind of leaning towards thinking that the hen has the gene and will lay what she is, but together they will can create a baby girl that lays lighter eggs. BUT....I'm new and know nothing really. I haven't even gotten my first egg yet from my 9 week old...

    Will my BCM still lay DARK eggs if the roo is a Buff Orp?

    Ok thank you! Now to find some. lol. The lady I was suppose to meet today has not called or touched base at all so it's making me a little leary.

    Weed and Feed?

    Thank you for your replies. How would I keep the chickens while free ranging to not eat anything around that a dog or cat may have peed on? I don't I can right? I do not use any fertilizer or anything on the weeds or the grass. I just choose not to eat them myself because I know my dog goes all...

    Will my BCM still lay DARK eggs if the roo is a Buff Orp?

    Ok, so I think I understand. If she is a full BCM than her egg will be dark brown no matter who the roo is BUT the baby that hatches is the one that will have a different color/shade of egg? Is that right? I am only wanting the dark eggs for me because I think they're so pretty. Not planning to...

    Will my BCM still lay DARK eggs if the roo is a Buff Orp?

    Hi friends. I am REALLY wanting those beautiful DARK chocolate looking eggs and have a lady I'm suppose to make quite a drive to go get some. My question is, I have a Delaware and a Buff Orp roo, if either of those mate with her will her eggs be less dark or does it matter what the roo is? I am...
