I'm pretty new to chickens, but I got 2 of each kind. Red sex link, white leghorn, and chocolate orpingtons. There is a "birds of a feather" thing that I wasn't really expecting. The white leghorns have been my friendliest and smartest birds and my chocolate orpingtons are kinda buttholes
Yes, cage free was a feel good law that got passed. They are still allowed to stuff just as many chickens (maybe more) into a sweat shop of a barn with absolutely no time outside and not even a window.
A friend gave me a dozen of her eggs from her chickens back in February and they were...
Truth! Here in Colorado, all eggs are cage free, but I watched a documentary about egg production and how the chickens are treated and I was horrified. I don't mean to get up on a soapbox or anything but I am very excited to get away from store bought eggs as much as possible.
I haven't weighed it, I don't have a kitchen scale. Although I may get one just to weigh eggs!! It's smaller than store eggs, but I think it's not bad size for a first egg!
Lol love this thread! My girls are very close to laying so every day I go on an Easter egg hunt to see if they have finally started to pay me for the shelter and food I provide for them. Nope, not today, still just a bunch of silly freeloaders. 😕
