    Help me please...

    I got a call from my neighbor requesting that I come remove a chicken form her backyard. I figures I could always use another one so I obliged her. Only problem is I have no idea what breed it is. Judging by the size it has to be a bantam (It is barely a quarter the size of my california white I...

    Help me! Who's laying these?

    I have a BSL that started laying two weeks ago at the ripe old age of seventeen weeks. In the fourteen days we have gotten an egg from her everyday except one. The last four have been double yolkers, with a few other doubles before that. She is getting a good start on pying for her room and board

    just a quick question.....

    I have a black sex link that has been laying for about two weeks. Since she started she has only skipped one day. Also, she has given us more double yokers then single yokers. in fact, her last four have all benn double yokers. Is this normal, or are we just lucky?

    Wooooohooooooo!!!!!!!

    I can't believe it. I went out to the coop this morning and lo and behold there was a little brown egg waiting for me. The best part is that she even managed to lay her first egg in the nest box where they belong. I am pretty sure it is my black sex-link because she is the only one sqautting...

    how aften do you clean your coop

    I am new to chickens, and we opted to go with the deep litter method. We have had our birds in the coop for five months now and haven't cleaned it yet. I add litter to it when i feel it needs it, but it is mostly because of how it looks. I have no smell whatsoever in my coop. And i don't have...

    Hen or Rooster Red Sex Link 15 weeks???

    You can't always use combs and waddles for accurate sexing. In your third picture, look at the saddle feathers that are running down the sides of the tails. They are long, narrow and pointy. Definitely a roo.

    Waiting for eggs

    Well, my oldest girls are about 15 weeks old now. Two of the eight (my black sex-link, and one of the rhode island reds) have really developed very red combs, faces and wattles. I know that this is a sign that they are maturing to egg laying stage, my question is how soon does it happen. Will it...

    Rooster Crowing

    He is a barred cochin bantam. I bought him on may 12, but i don't know how old he was when I got him. I'm guessing that he is about 9 weeks old. I bought him and another one hoping that they were pullets. The other one is a hen, but obviously he isn't. We really like him, but we are going to...
