    Question about floating eggs

    A little background to start.. I have 5 hens or pullets (24 and 26 weeks). 1 started laying the week before Christmas and I had another 2 start laying last week. So, I thought I had 3 hens laying. Today I was doing some clean up out by the pen and found a nest of 11 eggs. So I guess I have 4 of...

    It's happening...I have chick FEVER!

    I have chick fever too. I can't decide what I want to do. I spend hours looking at the hatcheries and filling my cart up and figuring out shipping times, then I go back and change things up. Do I want to go ahead and order specific breeds or do I want to order an assortment and just be...

    Review by '' on item 'Plymouth Rock'

    I have a White Rock and a Partridge rock. They seem to be good birds, but have not started laying yet so time will tell. Of all my chickens these 2 are the most flighty and will not come close to any human if they can avoid it. Maybe that wil change after they start laying.

    So I tried the pepper thingy

    I read the pepper thingy too and decided to try it on my 5 hens. They HATED the pepper in their treats. They pecked around it to get the pieces that had the least amount of pepper on it and shook their heads when they got a peppery bite. It was quite comical to watch, I think I added too much...

    bad bad chickie

    Can you separate her from the rest for a couple of days? Maybe in a dog crate in the run with the rest. Maybe she just needs to be put in time out and let the pecking order be re-established. Knock her down a few notches.

    DE Question

    Quote: The only reason to add it to feed is to kill bugs in the feed. It's never been proven to have any benefits when ingested I wasn't planning on adding it to the feed, I was just saying that was on the bag to show that it was Food Grade. The only reason I wanted it was for the possible...

    DE Question

    Okay, I went to TSC and bought a 20# bag of Red Lake Earth DE. I wanted it to sprinkle in the coop and run for help keeping bugs at bay and for the smell. I have never messed with DE before and knew nothing about it before seeing it mentioned here. Question is: Is it supposed to be a white...

    What breed and sex please

    Do Australorps have the copper coloring on the chest area? I have another black hen that I am pretty sure is an Australorp, she is a little smaller than these 2, but all black. I haven't posted any pictures of her.

    What breed and sex please

    Here is another picture of #1 (Prissy) I am pretty sure she is a hen, I just can't figure out what breed. I am brand new to chickens. Here is another picture of #2 (Boss). As far as comb type..... ummmm... guessing here, but I would say probably rose comb. It is still very small and yellowish...

    What breed and sex please

    My mother in law ordered chicks from McMurray and she gave me a few. She said she ordered the rare assortment. I have 2 that I am not sure what they are. Pic 1: I have named her Prissy, hoping I am right that she is a hen. She has copper coloring on her chest and a little white under her chin...
