    When do I admit defeat?

    I got my girls in late summer 2014 and they bloomed to great producers by winter of 2015. Their first laying year they did great then last winter it dwindled. Now I get two eggs sometimes every other day out of my 12 girls. All my girls look great. No bugs, no injuries, clean coup, warm coup...

    This is our Katy We have no idea what she is

    This is Katy all grown up. She lays brown eggs. She's a little dominant and loves getting dirty.

    4 year old hen is missing all the feathers from her underbelly

    I've got a girl who looks like this. She's eating the eggs too. Comes in nests in one box and I find egg remnants. I thought she was preening herself to destroy evidence of her activity. She seems really sluggish today and one pupil seems un-reactive. I've separated her and removed her from the...

    Yeah, I live in an elevated area and we tend to get a few more inches then what people get in town. So if they are calling for six I'll probably get 8 or 9....yippeee I let them out today for awhile they seemed pretty chuffed to find new floor shavings and straw in the nesting boxes when they...

    I've been keeping my flock inside their coup quite a bit when there is wind chill warnings during the day and kept them in for both the blizzard and this last 16 inches. Even if it's really cold though I tend to give them outside time as their run gets a good amount of sun when it is out...

    This is our Katy We have no idea what she is

    Thanks all!!! The blue Wyandotts look more like gold lace and I have a silver lace one as well. I am a complete novice to this and had to look up what an EE was LOL I'm stressing out about cold and food and heat and no heat etc so I can't wait to get my first year under my belt. I'll...

    RoosterCrow, HensDeliver Her comb isn't fully in. I'm stumped until then I guess. I'm trying to look in my albums to see if I have another view, most of my girls combs are not fully in yet. Thank you

    This is our Katy We have no idea what she is

    We ordered RIR and Blue Wyandotte's but she is in a league all herself. I think in the end we ended up with Buffs and Gold Wyandottes but alas, Katy is the only one we don't know. Any ideas Legs are black rest is white, she's still young here, born the last week of July 2014 Thanks
