    Multi coloured egg??!

    My Olive Egger did this too, it changed from blue to green in my hands and back to blue when I put it down. The wonders of chickens I guess 😂

    Egg color changing right before my eyes

    I’ve got an Olive Egger who layed a blue egg this morning and when I took it inside it started turning green in my hands, after putting it in the egg basket it turned blue again. So I guess it’d be caused by the same thing. Isn‘t that interesting though!!

    What do Yours Eat?

    Sick Hen, Limping, not eating/drinking

    Why Won’t They Get Along?

    Ouch! Yeah I’m going to start a mealworm farm this weekend so they can have some extra protein for moulting season. I was so suprised when saw the cost of dried mealworms!!

    Why Won’t They Get Along?

    Thank you! It’s my first time doing this and just hearing them shriek if a couple feathers get pulled freaks me out a little. They are starting to moult and so I’m finding feathers everywhere anyway.

    Official BYC Poll: How do you name your pet chickens?

    I name mine with either a name I’ve liked for a while or something that relates to them. For example my 3/4 Australorp is called Kerri, simply cause I like the name. My Plymouth Barred Rock is named Alana, because it means little rock and a family member has a similar name and they come from...

    Which Type Do You Use?

    This is a question for all chicken owners, I‘m interested to know what type of food you all use? I used to use crumble but it got very messy and I had to refill the food pipe (the feeder is a pvc pipe with a 45 degree attachment at the bottom) it was costing me a lot to feed only three...
