    Strangest and Silliest Chicken Names?

    Quote: Oh my gosh, I thought I was the only person alive who knew about Zardoz or Krull! I have Zardoz on DVD and threaten to make my friends watch it when I'm mad at them. Both those movies are seriously awesome! I just had to say... Anyways, I named one of my Sussex hens Nadia...

    My largest egg ever!!! (4 yolks) post #31

    cmom- Yes, it was only 3.5 oz. Which is not that impressive. However, the scale is new and there are a bunch of fancy buttons to subtract out container weight or something, so I don't know if that weight is right. It is a normal width, but it is 4" long.

    My largest egg ever!!! (4 yolks) post #31

    So what would you all consider really big, then? I keep going back and forth on what size egg is noteworthy... Although, they're probably all pretty noteworthy to chicken that laid them I guess! :cd

    Is my rooster trying to court me?

    Is is better to have a rooster in love with you, or hate you? Is he going to try to jump on me when I'm not looking?! Can I use his love for me to my advantage when he's hopped the neighbors fence and acts all confused about how to hop back?

    Is my rooster trying to court me?

    Is it weird to think that my rooster is trying to court me? I locked the hens in their house and they were not around when I started throwing mulberries to my rooster. He would pick them up and put them down while clucking loudly to show me where they were at. I told him "I know where they...

    Brooder light double electricity bill?

    The irony is that it was my husband who bought me the 250 watt in the first place... I was using 100 watt and he brought home the new bulbs saying that that was what we were supposed to be using. But he still calls it "my little project" so I take any blame for anything that goes wrong. He's...

    Brooder light double electricity bill?

    Thank you guys SOOOO much! I just read the replies to him and he finally shut up about it!:ya He was trying to blame about a $120 increase on one bulb and would not listen to me. When I read the math on here off to him all he had to say was "Well, there you go..." I don't even know what he...

    Brooder light double electricity bill?

    My husband and I were just looking over our electricity bill and he is trying to blame it doubling last month on our using a 250watt red brooder light. Has anyone noticed their bill jumping dramatically from using a brooder bulb? I was gardening all of last month, so I thought that because I...

    Order mix up...

    The other reason I thought they were 2 different types of chicks was because 2 of them had red marker on their heads and 2 didn't. Any idea why? The ones with the marker are growing twice as fast (the first picture) as the other 2 and their feathers are more solid in color.

    Order mix up...

    The lady at the feed supply store only had 2 orders to take care of. Both myself and the other person ordered 2 white silkies and 4 other chicks. I ordered gold Sebrights and Cuckoo Marans for my four other birds. When I picked up my order I saw the lady get confused about whose was whose. I...

    Ghetto-fied coop by the hubby...

    This would be a great idea for a thread if it isn't already! Something like "What did you recycle to make your hen house out of?" My run is made out of a turned upside down cotton bale truck thing with a dog kennel door and the house is made out of free grape stakes. Everything except the...

    chasing after chickens in the rain?

    The rain let up and and I opened my back door and they were hanging out with my dog. Polish chickens look so miserable when they get wet, I always just assumed they hated the rain! They've dried off a bit now, but their heads still look silly... I guess my husband is right and I shouldn't...

    chasing after chickens in the rain?

    I have 2 polish ladies that run from the my other 3 hens. They have their own little house next to the main hen house. I let them all out like normal this morning, as usual. It is now POURING rain. I looked out there from my back door and I can tell the polish are not in their house. Should...
