    What breed is this pullet?

    Okay, you're onto something with the Lakenvelder. Look at this: That's pretty much exactly what these two looked like at that age. I need to get some new pics.

    What breed is this pullet?

    I thought "Easter egger" was just a generic term for ameraucanas or araucanas.

    What breed is this pullet?

    Oh yeah, I forgot about the comb, EEs have rosecombs, don't they? These two have single combs. Sooo weird...

    Well, I've been wanting some EEs, so, that works for me! Thanks all!

    What breed is this pullet?

    Even though there are no poofy cheeks? EE was the only thing that struck me, but, no poofy cheeks! LOL

    What breed is this pullet?

    I purchased 12 chicks from two different TSC's last month, and I think I've figured out what they all are, except for two. They're both the same, they look like this: I'm totally stumped! Any ideas? Thanks! Rae

    Eggs tasting funny?

    I didn't think about it, but my OEGBs get out of the pen all the time, so they free range the most, and yet their eggs are fine. It's only the standard eggs that are tasting funny. She doesn't use teflon stuff, goes back to owning parakeets in the past. I assume she uses the same pan & stuff...

    Eggs tasting funny?

    They sometimes free range, a few days a week for a few hours at a time. But we've lived here for almost five years, wouldn't it have happened before?

    Eggs tasting funny?

    I have ten laying hens right now, ranging in ages from one to four years. All of my eggs go to my mom, and lately she's been complaining about them tasting funny, like teflon. At first it started with just one, and I think, going by her description, I had figured out it came from either my full...

    Tick control--what to use??

    I've changed my mind again--I'm not getting guineas. LOL I really can't stand them. I'll get more chickens if I have to, I don't care. 19's not so many, anyway.

    Tick control--what to use??

    Really? Wow. Well, all I know is I had my saddle laying on the ground by the porch, (had just taken it off my horse and dropped it), and about 20 minutes later I went to pick it up, and it must've had 20 on the horn alone! Last year the ticks were insane. We couldn't walk five feet away from...

    Tick control--what to use??

    That's what I've been told--once it absorbs liquid, it's no longer effective. Seems to be true, though, IME. I think for the week I'm going to let the chickens out to roam when we get home from work, and if there's no improvement, I'll see if I can find some guineas. Though I cringe at the thought.

    Tick control--what to use??

    We have 15 acres that's partially wooded/partially pasture, and they're everywhere, pretty much. Our house is in the wooded portion, where they seem to be worse. Some of my smaller chickens free range, and they don't seem to go for ticks. I've never understood why. I might have to break down...
