    What do you see in Easter eggers? (Hater here)

    Our EE is the most social and sweet bird. She loves to sit on our arm, shoulder, head... etc to get petted and loved. Did you get yours from Olsen's?

    Ours weren't too sure for the first day or so, but I finally coaxed them out with some scratch.

    Ended Tell Us Your Funniest Chicken Story to Win Six Bags of Feed from Nutrena!

    We have three cats, two of whom like to roam. Every time one doesn't come in at night I think, "That's it. A coyote got that one." One morning, after one of these nights, my husband went out to let the chickens out of the coop and give them their morning feed, and who should come strolling...

    why did you start keeping chickens

    I had been wanting chickens for years, mostly just for eggs. Now, I keep them for: pest control (no spiders or grasshoppers in my yard this year!) weed control (no dandelions, either) compost (their poo is great and they turn the pile) eggs (of course) entertainment and companionship...

    5 eggs - with 6 yolks - from 3 hens in 23 hours. What's up with that?

    Something similar happened to us recently, I think. One of our girls was doing the same thing, just not acting herself, sitting in the run alone, in the corner. She wouldn't come when called, not even for treats. I started to freak out. Later, found one soft-shelled egg in the nest and one...

    Are my girls actually ROOSTERS?

    Well, I'm pretty new to chickens myself but the last three look like red sex link cockerels. Don't know what Pecker is except for handsome!

    Buff Orpington Hen Pecks My 21 Month Old

    We have a Silver Laced Wyandotte that, a couple of weeks before she started laying, turned agressive towards me. She would run after me and peck my hands and sometimes my ankles. I made sure she knew that I was the boss by picking her up and carrying her around the yard everytime she did this...

    Post your FIRST EGG pics!

    We got our first egg on August 1st from our Silver Laced Wyandotte who was exactly 18 weeks that day. We've since received a total of nine eggs from her, one of which was a double yolker. We ate them all yesterday for breakfast! In the nest box: Happy daughter: With a store bought...
