How is it possible to get 9 eggs from 7 hens?! Two silkies, two sizzles, and 3 Auracanas!!

So I went out to Le Peep, my coop, and found this egg under one of my chickens. The egg was from one of my birds, Cheekie. Earlier this month she laid an egg with no shell, and what looked like a deformed shell was beside it. So should I be worried about her? She also is looking like she lost...

Yes the colors were black, barred (Grey and white) and white.

Thank you! He is a very nice roo too! :) *edit* His parents are either silkie+silkie or silkie+frizzle... The people I got him from had very secluded show chickens, one a show silkie roo, a show silkie hen, and a show frizzle hen.

Hi, so this is my beautiful boy Columbia, and I know he is either a silkie or a sizzle, but what baffles me is his color!! He is gorgeous, but I have no idea what color he is. When he was born he was all black with a white spot on his head.... anyone have an idea? Sorry for any blurry photos...

Hey all, I was wondering... how do you deal with the chicken poop?! I got baby chicks in November, and they are really attached to me, and they tend to follow me around, even into the house, which my parents (I'm 14...) arent very happy about, and they are most concerned about them pooping in...

So these are my baby chicks, the first one is Kahuna, she's a partridge sizzle and about 11 weeks, the second is Colombia, my silkie(?) rooster who thinks he is the most fabulous chicken around, and the third is Almalfi, my black sizzle hen. Colombia is 17 weeks along with Almalfi, they have...

"You did NOT just call me adorable and fluffy!!!"

I went out to the brooder to find Almalfi's (that's it's name) wing feathers curled a little more than the day before, and now all this cute curling is spreading!

WOOHOO!!! One of my new babies turned out to be a SIZZLE!!! I will post pics tomorrow of the little one :) He/she is black with a yellow chest, wing tips, and chin. :) Super egg- cited:)

Hi! Is it reasonable to get show quality silkie chicks and 10th generation sizzle chicks for $5 a chick, thanks

So, as some of you may have experienced... 2-3 inches of snow! I have baby chicks I am getting today or tomorrow and I've got the brooder set up, are there any things I need to do for the chicks since it's officially winter? They will be silkies and sizzles!

Change of plans for me! Getting some showgirl silkie chicks and some sizzle babies!!!!!!!!!! WooHoo! Can't wait till tomorrow! :) :) :) :)

I had a little wooden bar in the brooder for her to balance on and somehow she got her head under it

Are the roosters show quality? Could you provide any pictures?
