    Need help choosing between these hens

    I totally agree. Get a mix. I love looking out and seeing the color variety. All of those breeds seem great. I have a BO, BR , EE and a light Brahma. Love the Light Brahma. She lays almost every day and is very friendly. The EE is worth it for the green/ blue eggs! Blessings -...

    What's going on with my Aussie?

    Hi all! I have a beautiful black austrolorp that is 24 weeks old. All of the other hens I got at the same time(6) have been laying consistently for 3 weeks now. However my sweet aussie Miss Bennnet is not. What confuses me is that she has layed a few times, 3 times. But nothing usually...

    Is it normal for a hen's first egg to be a double yolker?

    I have a similar question. I have 6 hens and 5 are laying consistantly now. They are only 23 weeks. My black astrolorp however seems to have laid a huge double yolk egg more than a week ago and has not layed since. Anything to be concerned about? She acts fine. Sorry to hijack the post...
