    Temporary Chicken Housing

    This page is for the temporary coop we've set up to house our little 7 week old Ameracauna/Easter Eggers. The hutch is just a Chick-n-Hutch from Ware Manf. to give the little girls a place to be that isn't the toy box in my garage. I don't have a yard for them yet so when I am home and able to...

    Chicken Coop 9

    I didn't expect my husband to say yes to chickens but out of the blue this year, he did! I think he was hoping that he'd have a little more time before any actually arrived at our house but unfortunately for him, my friend gave me 5 chicks that week. We set them up in our living room in make...

    Our Super Chicks

    Hello! I'm Fran and I live in Washington State with my hubby, kids, two cats and 12 (for the moment) chickens. This is my first foray into the world of chicken ownership and I'm loving every minute of it! At least on this site there are other crazy chicken loving people who don't look at me like...

    Little Bitty Eggs

    Well I guess I'll just be patient then! When my big girls started laying they were small initially but they quickly settled into a regular sized egg and stayed there with very little variation. I guess that's the overachiever flock! They are cute little eggs but I'll be glad if she ups the...

    Little Bitty Eggs

    I have a mixed flock of 12 standard sized hens and one rooster that are all about 21-22 weeks old. One of them has started laying and has been at it going on two weeks now. The thing is, she is laying a little bitty egg that doesn't seem to be getting any bigger. I have a flock of girls who are...

    What's the biggest bug/animal/(fish?) your chicken has caught?

    A rat. The body was about six inches long plus the tail. It had gotten into their run and was apparently trying to get out but couldn't. They had it cornered and pecked the thing until it died. Good little chickens.

    Can someone please tell me why I never see roosts in the runs?

    We have a couple of branches angled through our run and the girls love to roost on them. They'll come out, scratch around for awhile and take a break up on a roost branch. They also like it because they can see further than when they're on the ground so I'll often see them up there checking...

    I colored my Brown and EE eggs!

    We did the same thing and ours turned out just as beautiful! I used Wilton gel colors that I had for cake decorating and we'll never go back to the old egg dyes again! We did have some white eggs so we did some white, some in varying shades of brown and some green/blue from our EE's. All of the...

    Marans; boy or girl?

    Thank you. I was pretty sure he was "stew" but the other one I'm up in the air about. I'm SO hoping it's a girl! If not I guess we'll call them Chicken & Dumplings.

    Marans; boy or girl?

    I bought these two birds from a local feed store who hatched them from a local breeder. They were sold as French Copper Marans but they might have said they were Barnvelder/Maran crosses (I can't remember). I'm really only concerned with whether they'll lay me eggs or not! They were hatched...

    5 week old golden laced wyandotte with reddish "comb"--boy or girl?

    The Silver that I posted a pic of above was pinker than that for weeks (much earlier than the Golden) and she was definitely a girl. I'm not an expert and have only had chickens for a year but my opinion (for what it's worth) is that you have a girl. And a cute little girl at that! I love...

    What Am I?

    Quote: Thanks to everyone who responded! I was suspecting her of being a Red and I'm totally fine with that. She seems very sweet and I love her already. I know they have a rep. of being good layers but to the grown hens have a good temperament?

    What Am I?

    Quote: According to their records (gotta love Facebook!) they did get a shipment of Rhode Island Reds the same day as the GSL's. Would a RIR be the same as a Production Red? I currently have a New Hampshire Red hen and she definitely looked different as a little chick so I don't want to...

    5 week old golden laced wyandotte with reddish "comb"--boy or girl?

    I used to have a Golden Laced as well as a Silver Laced. They were both hens and the following pictures were at about 8.5 weeks if this helps.

    What Am I?

    I bought this little girl at our local Farm & Feed and I'm not sure what she is. They told me she was a Gold Sex-Link but looking at her feathering and comparing her to other GSL's I'm not sure they were correct. I'm wondering if someone put a different bird in that bin and I got something else...

    Sour dough and a Mother Earth bread recipe

    Go to carlsfriends.net. They are a site that keeps sourdough starter (freeze dried) and give it away to people. All you have to do it send a self addressed, stamped envelope to the address on their site and they'll send you one. The directions are on the site too. I did it and it made a good...

    mereks

    It could. That's what happened with mine. I had disease free birds and unknowingly added the diseased birds. Learned that lesson the hard way! If you did add the new ones to the older girls you would definitely want to vaccinate everyone first and make sure you had given them the minimum of 10...
