    Can I eat the eggs if......

    She's lovely ... Similar markings to my pencilled barnvelder ... Mind you she's suppose to lay brown eggs and they're more pale beige with flecks ! Lol I'm about to mix my 3 layers with my 4 ten week olds and was worried about them eating each others feed ... This topic has put my mind at rest...

    Integrating 10 week old chicks with 2 grown hens

    I have 4 ten week olds and they all free range in the garden but they are separated by a fence.... I am tempted to remove the fence at the weekend... They have 1440 sq feet to run around so I am sure that they can run away if chased... Lol The three grown up girls will hopefully get bored...

    An EE, Easter Egger, exactly what is that??

    Thanks for the info... As a newbie from England I had no clue what an EE was... And they seem to listed and talked about quite often... I think I'm clued up to what they are now...! Next year I think I might get some fertile Araucana ( which are more prevalent over here!) as eggs to put...

    6 maybe 7 chickens kept in my garden

    Thank you ... I have a movable coop with wheels that has a run attached ... However I have no plants that I am concerned about and the veg patch is fenced off anyways... I was just wondering if the grass would eventually harbor nasty bugs etc from having chickens roaming and pooing on it all...

    ROO crowing

    I have a ten week old that is just starting to find his voice... there are no laws against having a cockerel (rooster) here in England ... plus we live in a village... however if the neighbours complain the law usually backs them up and you have to get rid of it... I have read in the local press...

    Hello!

    Good luck with your dad... I agree with the advice about getting 2... and six week old youngsters are brilliant... I have 4 10 week old chicks however because they were hatched and raised till 6 weeks old by a white sussex they are not tame as such... I would say to handle them as much as...

    Confused by food/grit/scratch

    Mine have Layers pellets in their feeder in the coop... they have a bowl of grit and oyster shell that I buy from a local farm stores (they only sell it mixed!) Sometimes I might chuck a cup of mixed grain on the grass as they love to scratch about and find it all... and if im feeling really...

    Orange Eglu Cube Coop

    I've had my eglu Cube for nearly a year... it was second hand off eBay and I love it ... no mites, no bad smells and my neighbours didn't even realise we had chickens for the first 6 months until he was cutting the hedge and saw them... lol I have 3 chickens in it at the moment, they are very...

    Eglu Cube arrived! Review with pics

    I have one exactly the same and I love it ... I could not have coped or given my girls such a clean house with a wooden coop... I also have a classic that I use for brooding and it'll be handy as a hospital ward should I ever need it... I did buy that one second hand as a rabbit version and I...

    Anyone own an "Eglu" chicken coop/run? Thoughts?!

    I bought an Eglu cube on eBay for £500 and I rehomed 3 chickens ... they were clipped and struggled a bit to jump up onto the ladder but are fine now... we don't get the summer heat but we did have a very cold winter and they were fine in there... its very easy to clean (I have just posted a...

    Hello from England, Uk!

    I've had my girls about 10 months and I have learnt so much from books, online and other people.... however I have found that you have to weigh up advice and take from it that which makes sense to you... You are going to love having chickens and the thrill of that first egg is amazing... I...

    Hi from Somerset, England

    Thank you all for the warm welcome ... And I am aiming to sit and sketch my girls and hopefully my handsome boy... There is a little farm shop down the road and they have made favorable mumurings about taking some country type crafts and art on a sale or return basis ... And I don't personally...
