    *UPDATE in post 7: Finally got an egg today!*; Original post: What is going on? 27 weeks and still

    Thought you all would want to know... We FINALLY got an egg today!!!! That makes them 27 weeks and 2 days old! We think it came from one of the 4 blue Andalusians, since it was a bit on the small side and white. One of them has much redder and larger comb/waddles, so it was probably her...

    Had to share a GREAT experience with Murray McMurray Hatchery

    First let me say, I have no affiliation with this company. We ordered 25 pullets in 9 different breeds (everything listed in my signature except the americaunas and the marans) at Mcmurrayhatchery.com We received 27 live chicks (none died in shipping!) even though they were in Iowa and we...

    We received our chickens on May 27th, so they are 27 weeks and we have not even had ONE lousy egg! And that is out of 28 hens! I know they don't lay when the days are shorter (without light in the henhouse), but my goodness, we thought we would at least get a few! They free range, but...

    Mastiff vs. chickens in town. Hmmm....

    She is BEA-U-TI-FUL!!! She looks just like our Princess! I really miss her, and we are looking for another; but having just started on this chicken journey, we may have to wait a little while. As I said earlier, they are all individuals. :) ...And so are the owners. To each his own...

    Earwig in the EAR!

    Seriously though, I didn't know earwigs actually climb in your ears! How did you know what it was, how did you get it out, and was it still alive? YUH-UCK! I am soooo freaked out right now!!!

    Mastiff vs. chickens in town. Hmmm....

    I completely agree with you about the feed! lol! They sure can eat!!! And if you are feeding higher quality feed, it gets downright expensive. But, I am surprised to hear you call them hyper and full of energy. Personally, I have never known a hyper or energetic English Mastiff, or any of...

    Mastiff vs. chickens in town. Hmmm....

    We had a mastiff, the sweetie just passed away a couple months ago and we miss her terribly! Mastiffs have a bad rep for drool and size, but in reality they really only drool right after drinking, so if you wipe their mouths, it is not even an issue. Also, they only drool because of droopy...

    is this stealing? should i put free range hen into my coop?

    I posted before, and leaned toward the "stealing" side. But the more I think about this, the more I am starting to waiver. When off-grid-hen mentioned the idea of it being a dog (as if it would be ridiculous to take in someone else's dog), that really got me thinking. If I had a neighbor who...

    mysterious death in young chicken

    I am completely new to chickens, so I am no help, but still wanted to say I'm so sorry for your loss.

    How do I talk my husband into getting chickens ??

    In my experience you just mention that you would like to have chickens some day, and then from that moment on, he keeps asking you when you are going to get chickens! In my case though, the answer was always, "after you build a coop". He finally did this year, so we just started out a couple...
