    11-week Olive Egger - saddle feathers?

    Any closer to a determination?

    How do I free range my chickens with a Fox in the woods??

    Since I am suffering from the same problem, is there a particular type of legtrap or live trap that anyone here recommends? We also have barn cats, so how would I keep them from becoming ensnared? Thanks!

    I’d love to see what you’re talking about with a fake entrance- do you have any pics? Or could you do a quick doodle?

    Post-broody strange eggs!

    The flock gets Nutrena Natural Egg Producer Pellets; we keep the feeders filled in their pen, and then we let them free-range during the day as they please. She’s still laying them... Hey, if she keeps this up, I can sell them as artisanal health food eggs: pure protein, no messy yolk to discard! 😜

    Post-broody strange eggs!

    Is there something I can do to help flush out her system, so to speak? Or should this clear up in its own?

    Post-broody strange eggs!

    Oops, I should have mentioned- she’s not quite a year old, started laying full sized eggs about 3 months ago. No, no yolks, just egg white. Does that mean something?

    Post-broody strange eggs!

    Hi, Chickenhivemind. Since going broody, setting a clutch near to hatching, then having said clutch destroyed by another vengeful velociraptor approximately two days before hatch day, my French copper maran has been laying nothing but witch/fairy eggs. I’ve attached a photo of the last two, with...

    Strange feathers, what variety of Silkie?

    Yes!! Those are the type; not pinfeathers, but full feathers of their own type- your photo is better than mine. :) Glad to see yours are still there, maybe mine will stay, too! ☺️

    They are absolutely right! The only problem is, they are too young for that, and these are growing out of her tail! 😇

    How long between peep and pip?

    Thanks! Now to try to figure who’s who- I have a black silki roo, white silkie roo, and a French copper maran roo, and BPR, RIR, Speckled Sussex, BO, FCM, and Australorp hens. No idea who covered whom when... 😆

    How long between peep and pip?

    I’m so happy, all 10 of them hatched yesterday! One died in the night in the brooder- I’m not sure why, as it popped out of its shell so hard I expected it to come out tap dancing, so it seemed strong enough- but the other nine are perky and happy! That’s way better than I expected. 🥰

    Thank you so much! First time incubating eggs, and I was pretty worried! ☺️

    How long between peep and pip?

    Heard the first peep from the incubator this afternoon (day 20), but I don’t see any eggs that have pipped (incubator has windows). How long can the chick survive before suffocating?

    Mini peacock feathers on Silkie?

    So very cute!! Must be a random trait, as none of my previous had them. Thanks for sharing! :)
