you all are crushing the glimmer of hope I had left 😂.

I’m really disappointed if she’s a rooster. I thought this breed was auto-sexed at birth. The rooster pics I found online had larger combs, so I’m still crossing my fingers, but I’m not very hopeful she’s still a she.

We brought home a leghorn recently (only one to survive a young brood getting attacked by a weiner dog). Our others girls are a little older, and at first they chased her a good bit and wouldn't let her eat. I seperated her from the others for about a week and then they were fine. They would...

Thanks! I'll stick them in some water and see what happens. I'm thinking I might have 3 from one EE mama, and 1 from the other EE girl. 3 were nested together, and the 4th one was by itself, over on the other side of the raised coop area. The 4th one is also a little lighter than the other...

I'm pretty sure we have a Seabright Bantum (it was supposed to be a Silver Laced Wyandotte, but it's small and has grey legs). Anyway, my chickens are 4.5 months old, so I wasn't really expecting any eggs yet. My husband was fixing the coop and dropped a screw. Instead he found an EGG! I...

I want to be on the list! We read it in book club ages ago (had the highest attendence of any book club to date). Everyone went around the entire room talking about how they liked or loved it. Then someone said - hey, Jessica hasn't said anything yet. What did you think of it? And I slammed...

That's a good idea! Thanks for the help!

Does anyone know where I can find organic feed in Utah? I really hate to pay for shipping on feed - it's so expensive. Thanks!

The weather was beautiful today so I took my girls out for their first outing! It was possibly the best outing EVER - we found a WORM! It was so fun to watch the girls chase, screech, and dive for the worm. Stealing a worm from one of your coop-mates is maybe better than actually FINDING...

Nope. We live in Utah. I went to the feed store Saturday. I didn't get a chance to talk to someone who knows a lot about chickens - let alone the person who does the ordering. I'll have to try again during the weekday when they are less busy.... The girl I spoke with seemed baffled when I...

Hey! I have in-laws in Snohomish! And Issaquah and Snoqualamie and Samammish! Crazy.

Which feed store did you buy them at???? I wonder if shipment from a hatchery were messed up or something. I'll go today too. I'll also find out which Hatchery there were ordered from.

I started with a white bulb. Then found out a few days later that the red bulbs are better.... I think it was on the Martha Stewart show??? or maybe My pet Chicken. Anyway, I went and exchanged it at the store for a red one. I was surprised. Not only was the red light more pleasant for the...

Thanks!

Hmmm. I think I'll try going back to the feed store. Maybe they realized all these birds were incorrectly labeled and they can tell me what it REALLY is. I've been disappointed in this one because it was so small and the feathering wasn't pretty like I was expecting. I must admit, I wasn't...

Thanks everyone!

Well, I was going to name my Australorp George Eliot, but maybe that's a more appro name for EE #1

Good! My daughter named her Ariel. My husband wasn't 100% on board with the whole chickens in our backyard thing.... Until this one cuddled right up to him and fell asleep. She was the first to learn how to perch because he would always hold her on his finger. She doesn't really care so...

I've been lurking for a while - checking out coop designs, reading about care, etc. Finally, I'm getting around to signing up. I am totally new to chickens. I've been a closet hen lover for a while, but finally (in November) my city changed the chick-law. Suddenly my closet love became well...

What does BBR and Wheaton mean????
