    Any guesses on breed?

    Any guesses on breed?

    Little update, the red chick seems to be a New Hampshire red based on how fast she’s developing her feathers, thoughts? She’s 2 weeks old now

    Any guesses on breed?

    I will say the other chicks in the bin were almost a shade darker than the orange one I got, there was one other that was similarly pale in comparison. It’ll be interesting to see how they grow!

    First eggs!! But not where they should be…

    I’m so excited! I got two eggs, first eggs ever and I’m so excited! However they were laid in the run, not the lay box. I’m not sure if that’s normal for a first lay to be randomly laid somewhere or if I should be looking closer at my lay box. Is it normal for the first eggs to be laid in the...
