    How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

    3/4... first time I got three in a day. My ameraucana lays the largest eggs I have ever seen and doesn't make a peep while doing it. With 4 chickens my goal was a dozen eggs a week but I was figuring spring at the earliest... they're laying about 2 a day right now and the fourth is too young...

    How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

    1/4 yesterday and 2/4 today. Another green one (I said blue originally but its definitely green) from my ameraucana... nice to find an egg a day at least... Gave away eggs for the first time yesterday as we really only eat eggs on weekends unless I'm cooking something that needs eggs..

    Chickies throwing straw at me!

    Mine started out sleeping on the floor and sleeping in the nest boxes.. after two days I opened it up at night and physically moved them to the roost. Now they all sleep on the same roost and I nailed all but on nest box shut... No problems since that... took about three days of training

    How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

    How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

    1/4 after a week of nothing... I think it might have been one of the pullets... smaller than the other ones I'd been getting and she's very red. she was also crowing like a rooster for no reason... 10 minutes of it standing on the ladder... I think she was freaking out w her first..

    My Rooster attacked me and left a Foot Print on my Leg....

    Don't know why but this is my all time favorite thread on BYC... when I read the first post my mind immediately went to "stew" or "kick him (gently)". The idea of locking him up to watch you with his hens? Fugging hilarious!!

    no more roundup...

    Used to spray that junk all over my yard... since I got hens and let them free range, they devour them first... Loving herbicide free!
