    July 18th "Due Date"! Anyone else?

    Yeah so I am wondering if any of you who ordered a Golden Laced Wyandotte from MPC ended up with green eggs. I have just posted a thread because my GL W has laid 3 green eggs since Christmas and apparently she is not a GLW but an EE. I don't really care, I love her AND her green eggs, but I am...

    My GLW is laying GREEN EGGS!! ????

    I will have to take another look at her legs but they also might be greenish like an EE. She may be a mix because of she doesn't have the chipmunk cheeks but the whole green egg thing kinda tells it all! Her eggs are not blue green either they are like khaki. Here is a picture of her first egg...

    My GLW is laying GREEN EGGS!! ????

    Quote: After reading your signature I realized we have a lot in common, I have 3 dogs and only 1 cat and 1 ball python, but I also have 1 cockatiel, 1 tarantula (Rose Hair), 1 cornsnake, and some fish as well (and a husband)!!

    My GLW is laying GREEN EGGS!! ????

    I got her from a hatchery and it really is a nice surprise that she lays green eggs. I don't really care if she is a mix, I will just go ahead and say that she has the best of all her ancestors!! Here are some pics. Meet my 23 week old Golden Laced Wyandotte, Hello Ezmiralda! And my 15...

    My GLW is laying GREEN EGGS!! ????

    Okay so far I have found 3 green eggs in our nesting boxes and when I found the first green egg, Christmas day, I just kind of assumed (after searching BYC) that my 15 week old Easter Egger had started super early. Weird, I know, but from what I understand she is the only one who is SUPPOSED to...

    anybody raise sprouts to feed the chickens?

    I am using jars of various sizes but they all fit in one way or another into an old wine rack we had. This is made to hold twelve wine bottles and I keep it on the floor of our laundry room because there isn't a ton of light in there, we do have a sink in there I can use for rinsing, and it...

    anybody raise sprouts to feed the chickens?

    Just started sprouting for my chickens after reading an article in the latest issue of Backyard Poultry (page 40). She uses Mung beans which I just started on Saturday and they sprouted quite quickly. Of course after reading that article I searched on BYCF and found this thread so I then...

    Quote: YES Every morning when I walk in the coop I say "Good morning Ladies, anyone left a present for me today???" Sometimes I think I earn the title "Crazy Chicken Lady" !!!

    July 18th "Due Date"! Anyone else?

    I think they do get bigger over time. They probably wouldn't be ready to "pass" a big egg yet!! We are getting an average of 2 eggs a day, but we only have 9 girls that have the 7/18 hatch day and I am sure that the Polish and the Hamburg are not laying yet. Both are supposed to lay...

    July 18th "Due Date"! Anyone else?

    My BPR "Boo" laid our first egg on 12/11. Here is a picture of the egg and of Boo sitting in the "Bucket Nest". That's how I knew who laid it but she had been in and out of the boxes for 2 days. Since then (as of yesterday) we have found 7 more eggs but I only know who laid one of those...

    Found soft shell egg in manure box this morning

    Thank you so much!!! I did that when I switched them to the Flock Raiser from Starter Feed but I only did it because I had some of the other leftover! I never would have thought to mix them intentionally! Just FYI I also have a White Leghorn and she is named Daenerys. (Name of a "queen" from...

    Found soft shell egg in manure box this morning

    Awesome, thank you, I will go get some oyster shell. I know that you can start the layer formula at 18 weeks so for now I will get some and only put it in the feeder hanging in the run and just adjust it so that it is too high for the "teens". They will still have the other 2 feeders to eat the...

    Found soft shell egg in manure box this morning

    My Barred Rock "Boo" laid her (also our) first egg on Sunday and she is 21 weeks old. Since then I have found 3 more perfectly beautiful, although small, eggs but no clue which of the 9 of our 21 week olds laid them. Today Boo kept attempting to lay (much like your Snow White did before) but...

    First Bumblefoot Surgery Last Night...Pics

    You're my hero. I have seen other bumblefoot procedures that were done by seasoned professionals, all very informative, but because this was your first it gives me hope that if I ever have to do it, I can. Also helps to know whether I have the right supplies on hand. I bought a "kit" with...

    Cannibal chick! What to do!!!!

    Love this!!! I hope she has learned her lesson. It is fortunate that you had the two groups of different-aged older birds too!!! Keep us updated so we know if she is truly reformed. Don't worry about the tough-love either. She was the one terrifying her "siblings" in the first place and your...
