    First dozen!

    CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!! It was so great when our girls started laying. The eggs are soooo good. Before I got chickens, I was obsessed. After I got them, I was more obsessed.

    Best layers?

    I agree completely with napa valley chickens. Now I see how stupid I was mentioning my Ameraucana. I failed to notice that the original poster's name was ameraucanacrazy. Duh, me.

    How fast they grow!

    Beautiful bird. Shame. Funny in a very morbid way though, like the Far Side. Ask not why the chicken crossed the road, but why the road got in the way of the chicken.

    Best layers?

    My ameraucana does pretty well. She's not exotic, but very flashy (beard, pretty feathers, muffs, etc). Although she may be a special case, I looked up Ameraucanas on the web and it said they only lay four days a week. Ask not why the chicken crossed the road, but why the road got in the way...

    Oxalis okay?

    I want to let my chickens free-range sometimes, but the garden has loads of oxalis in it. Is it okay for chickens to eat oxalis? Is is toxic to them? I don't want them to get hurt from eating it. Ask not why the chicken crossed the road, buy why road got in the way of the chicken.

    head shaking rant

    What is gapeworm? My EE, see "EE pullet making wheezing sounds. Please help!", makes gagging motions. Maybe it's gapeworm? I dunno.

    EE and egglaying...

    One of my EE's started laying at 17 weeks, then the second at 18. They were about three weeks ahead of our RIRs. And yes, the EE seafoam green and sky blue certainly is beautiful. Ask not why the chicken crossed the road, but why the road got in the way of the chicken.

    EE Pullet Making Wheezing Sounds. PLEASE HELP!!!

    My 9 month old EE pullet is making strange wheezing noises. She is very small, half the weight of our RIRs of the same age. I hardly see her eat, since she is lowest on the pecking order. She usually hangs around corners and looks depressed. She doesn't cluck, but instead makes a loud, short...

    Molting Question

    Thank you! I was very confused on whether or not I should be worried. Ask not why the chicken crossed the road, but why the road got in the way of the chicken.

    Molting Question

    This is probably obvious knowledge that everyone knows, but: Do chickens stop laying when they molt? Because both our EE's are molting, and are not laying any eggs. That's normal, right? Ask not why the chicken crossed the road, but why the road got in the way of the chicken.

    My Pullet is Making Really Weird Noises and Wheezing! Please Help!

    My small EE (Becky) has been making strange noises for some time now. Becky is exactly eight months old, and weighs half as much as our largest RIR of the same age. She is by far the smallest and lowest on the pecking order of our birds. She does this loud, short squawk, almost a beep. Also...

    Crack in Beak

    Totally a relief that she's eating again. It did bleed a lot. But now she seems fine, and is back to her normal self, pecking and bossing the other chickens! I don't think she'll need the superglue remedy. Ask not why the chicken crossed the road, but why the road got in the way of the chicken.

    Nasuada the… what?

    Is this pullet an EE or an Americana?/Users/chelseymeyer/Pictures/iPhoto Library/Originals/2009/Chickens and More!/100_2108.JPG It's the one in the middle. She had green/gray legs if it helps.

    Crack in Beak

    My ameraucana Nasuada got her beak stuck in the chicken wire. Now it's cracked in a spot. That day she wouldn't eat, but now she is. Will the crack always be there? Or will it fuse together again?

    So if I were to use the vinegar approach, how much would I put in their water?

    Great Idea for the First Egg

    Wondering what to do with that first, precious egg (besides eating it, or letting it rot while you show it off to your friends)? Well here's what we did: BLOW THE EGG. How to blow an egg: Rinse the egg. Start by poking two holes in it, one smaller at the top, and one larger at the bottom. Use...
