    Skagit County Wa Silver Americauna Rooster

    I delivered him to his new home today. I think he will be happy there. I will pass this on to the family who took him. Thank your for the information and insight!

    Washingtonians Come Together! Washington Peeps

    Alger, WA Hi! I haven't been around in awhile, but maybe someone here can help. I am trying to find a home for a Silver Americauna Rooster that was rescued by people on a busy street in Mt Vernon. He is gorgeous and good with hens (he stayed with me one night, escaped to have my hens follow him...

    Broody hen won't leave nest

    I've got her sitting on a couple of eggs (including several 'Happy Eggs' as I know people have managed to hatch those out before, so taking a chance), but I have no rooster. I'm trying to get a couple of known fertile eggs in the next day or so. I would really like her to brood as I would like...

    Who all owns Maine Coon Cats?

    What beautiful cats! Thank you for sharing! I love Maine Coons. They have a tendency to pick you out as opposed to the other way around. My first one was one was a farm mix we had when I was a kid...a big fuzzy good natured kitten started following me around a farm we were visiting and we were...

    Abnormally large eggs, is this a problem?

    I just bumped this to thank the people who gave me advice on my chicken's egg problem. I have switched to a laying mix and her eggs have gotten progressively smaller. It looks like she is back to normal now. She certainly seems happier and is complaining less. Thank you from both me and Pru. 💐 <3

    Looking for fertile eggs Skagit Co WA

    Thank you for your kind offer! I'll bookmark this and get back to you. I wanna make sure she's really going to go broody before I attempt anything. She'll sit in the nest box a few days, but then she's up again. It sounds like you have some wonderful mixes there! Hopefully, I'll be able to...

    Peacock attacking reflection?

    Thanks everyone who responded. I'll try luring him back to their winter pen, but we'll see how that goes. For now, I'm just putting plastic sheeting on the bumper, it's not too unsightly for now, but it messes up the reflection so they don't attack. I just love these guys and don't want them...

    Peacock attacking reflection?

    Has anyone here had to deal with peacocks attacking their own reflection? The two in question are not mine, but belong to the property I live on. I like having them around, they are characters. However, this spring one of the males in particular has started fixating on the chrome bumpers of my...

    Looking for fertile eggs Skagit Co WA

    Hi! I have a buff orp hen who is going broody and I thought it might be fun to put a couple of live eggs under her. I'm not really particular about breed, it is more of an experiment than anything, I just don't have a rooster around to fertilize eggs and my neighbor just got rid of all their...

    Hi Everyone! Peep from WA state here. I was in Asheville NC a few weeks back visiting a friend. While we were visiting a nearby town, we were behind a car at a stop sign with a Backyard Chickens bumper sticker. I nearly jumped out of her car to run up to say 'hi', I was so excited. Anyway...

    Abnormally large eggs, is this a problem?

    That's why I was giving them the flock raiser to keep the non-layers from getting too much. Now that they are all laying, I think I'm going to switch. Thank you for your insight! I love this site because I learn so much about my birds and their needs.

    Abnormally large eggs, is this a problem?

    Currently the feed does not have oyster shell and I have been letting her free feed oyster shell when she wants it. I'm guessing I need to switch to a laying mix that has the calcium already mixed in so that she doesn't over do it and remove the separate oyster shell.

    Abnormally large eggs, is this a problem?

    Thank you for your reply. I don't use much artificial light (only a heat lamp on the coldest nights) so that likely isn't it. I will watch how much protein I am giving her. I have been feeding flock raiser with oyster shell while the younger two weren't laying yet, but maybe I should get them...

    Abnormally large eggs, is this a problem?

    Hi! I haven't posted here in awhile, but I have a question. My 2 year old buff orpington hen started laying again this spring, so far so good, but it seems now that she is laying a lot of almost unusually large eggs. One nearly covered my palm and fingers (almost goose or turkey sized...), boy...

    Where Does Your Chicken Lay?

    I have a coop, a sample of sorts on spec for markets I built that I embellished with folk art. Ever since it went live on my space one of my hens has insisted on laying in it, I think she likes the fact that is is new, and like a cat, has a sense of enjoying the finer things in life. I took it...

    My chicks aren't interested in treats...?

    My chick's favorite treat is hulled hemp seed I get from the grocery. It is high in protein, omega 3 and other goodies. Mealworms are another fave. Maybe I've spoiled them, but mine turn their noses up at lettuce, cabbage and other greens. Then again, they free range so they probably get lots of...

    Who else loves their Orps? Orp lovers and Orps ONLY Thread. If you are going to hate on Orps, you aren't allowed.

    I love my Orps. They are bumblety-dumbelty silly birds who come running when I come home, waddling at full tilt and flapping their wings for extra speed. At some point, I might have a bigger coop and enclosed run and get a few other kinds, but right now my BO's are the best fit for where I am...
