I have a similar problem in one of my layers, Id be interested to see if they looked the same. Although mine only has one lump, underneath and towards the beak end of her eye. She's a little Welsummer, one of the flightiest of my flock so I have found getting a photo difficult! I will keep...

I have a feeling the resolution of this pic isn't as good as required but I thought I'd put it in anyway! Everyones photos are FANTASTIC! Good luck everyone :)

Ooo which one??!

There is the large egg on the right...the difference isn't as noticable in the picture! ...and there they are! I don't think I can wait 3 weeks...it's just too long!!

Getting excited now! Half of my eggs arrived yesterday and as I was writing this my other 6 eggs were delivered! One of the lavander araucana eggs looks distinctly bigger than the other 5...who knows maybe Ill have a suprise large fowl! However I'm probably just getting over excited :) I've had...

Can I join - possibly a little late!? I'm hoping to set 12 eggs in the incubator on Tuesday/Wednesday due to hatch by 4th September. I will have: 6 x lavander araucanas 6 x ilver laced polish (both bantams) chickinthebator - your hatch sounds beautiful, I have such a soft spot for welsummers...

Hi Philsgirls, I believe the Sizzle is a Silkie with a frizzle feathers (feathers that point outwards instead of lying flat!) https://www.backyardchickens.com/products/sizzle They are properly lovely! I'm from Prudhoe, about 20mins from Newcastle by the way!

I am hoping to get some Polish hatching eggs soon - I really can't wait...looking at all these photos makes me love them even more! My other half really isn't keep but I think they look fantastic - so unique!!

Hi everyone - lovely to find people from the UK :) I feel slightly in the wrong place with people worrying about coyote and raccoon threats! How are you all?

catchs - Your run looks absolutely fantastic!

There is a better photo of the roost - quite similar to a ladder! Obviously with a token chicken in the photo...this is the banty house roost hence the smaller size! I have been reading about poop hammocks and I want to incorporate one into this design - I'm thinking hanging from the back wall...

Hi Lisa! All it is a two triangular sheets of plywood, with perch bars between them! Two at the bottom corners of the triangle at floor level for stability and then perches further up! Ill try and take a photo for you :) And thanks :)

I was really excited about finally finishing my bantam house and posting pictures but after browsing this thread my coop seems hugely inferior to the magnificent ones on here - I'm sure they would be fit for humans to live in! I hope one day I managed to construct a beauty like these! But in the...

What a gorgeous photo! What breed is the broody hen? I have a mystery hen like her and cannot figure out what she is!

I hatched some lovely RIR x Light Sussex earlier in the year and they have turned into some good looking girls and reliable layers too! Still a little flighty and nervous but they are integrating well with my other girls :) I would recommend them! I'm thinking of some new Bantys soon...EEs are...
