    It's been a year since I got my first chicks. Last month, my 12 girls gave me 304 nice colorful eggs. Guess I'm doin' right all by myself.

    What color are YOUR Easter Egger's eggs?

    Two more EEs laying! This is a mix up of all my girls' eggs. I have EEs (Americanas), Comets, and a Welsummer. She's the one with the speckled egg. Today I even found an "EYEBALL EGG!!!". I don't know what happened to it but I found it this afternoon in their play castle tower.

    What color are YOUR Easter Egger's eggs?

    Hi J'freak! I have those "Americanas" too! All six have nice fluffy muffs. Do yours? I discovered the Americanas are Hoover Hatchery's version of the EE, crossing an Ameraucana and Araucana. Mine are just about to start laying as they are presently squatting when approached so it won't be...

    Does Cloth Fencing Exist?

    Hey, PorchChickens! I, too, am using this deer-x netting to extend my wire fence height to 7' and keep chickens from poking their heads through and getting em bit off but I'm just a bit worried...have you ever had a chicken get tangled in it? Mine's fastened pretty well to the wire fence...

    What color are YOUR Easter Egger's eggs?

    Thanks, aart! The grey egg has a nice greenish tint to it. The one that laid it is supposed to be Ameraucana but you know how that goes. She's a nice, friendly chicken. Here she is:

    Help me understand the difference between BEARDS and MUFFS?

    Will someone please show me a tuft? I think I understand about muffs and beards but tufts...where do the tufts come out? Is this a "muffie" (front) and a "tuftie" (back)?? Thanks.

    What do you use to write on eggs?

    Totally agree. Sharpies have alcohol or some other solvent in the ink to make it dry fast. Just smell them! I wouldn't want that on any of my eggs.

    What do you use to write on eggs?

    I thought long and hard about how to date my breakfast eggs and decided that a regular graphite (they're not made of lead anymore) pencil would be best. There's no liquid ink with all the chemicals and there's no smell, as well as no chance of anything seeping through the shell.

    Review by 'Phoebus' in article 'The Old West Rooster Cogburn Red Lobster pallet coop'

    I love the old West look of this chicken coop. It looks like somebody's hideout! Photos of the build are interesting. The stove pipe feeder is very ingenious in keeping with the design theme and the covering on the perch area walls looks easy to clean. Chickens look like they would be safe...

    Review by 'Phoebus' in article 'Little Red Henhouse'

    Need to see the insides! I like all the outdoor space of this coop--the more, the better. Looks sturdy and secure. Would be good in Winter to throw a couple of tarps on the weather side of the run. Nice!
