    Review by '' on item 'Leghorn'

    Got a white leghorn pullet from a chicken owner who needed to downsize her flock. She started laying for me at about 18-19 weeks, and now at 23-24 weeks, she lays 5-7 eggs a week. She is smaller than my other LF birds though, and flies very well...we clipped her wing, but she still figured out...

    can anyone tell me what my handsome Roo is?

    Chicks4fun - I'd say you've got a keeper in that roo! Who cares what his breed is when he's that great around your girls! I've got 2 young cocks in with my pullets right now...waiting to see what their temperament's will be. I hope I get one as good as yours!

    Show me your remodeled kitchens--what would you do differently?

    That paper bag flooring looks amazing! I wonder if you could do something similar on walls? Do the "leather look" and use wallpaper glue you think?

    I really need help from my fellow BYCiers about a chicken problem at work.......

    I agree with the others...keep a log of what goes on "just in case", but otherwise, keep quiet and keep your cool. I worked in a family owned/run place once...most of the other employees (not "family") were great, but some of the management people (who were the "family") were just awful. It...

    What you think about homeschooling??

    My three brothers and I were/are all homeschooled through high school. My older brother, my younger brother, and I all got good to great SAT scores, took early start classes at the local colleges, and got scholarships when we graduated (My youngest brother is still in high school). I played...

    Zoey's wings are drooping and dragging....?

    My guess is that it would have to do with the exhaustion/dehydration/starvation. So sorry for her! Sounds like you need to find new pet sitters...

    Are these eggs fertilzed??? New pics added!

    Brahmabreeder - I think you're right. And I've seen the white spot on the eggs from the store before too...I think it's just easier to miss, since the yolks on store-bought eggs are so much lighter.

    can anyone tell me what my handsome Roo is?

    This is my 18 (approx) week - old OEGB roo, with a 14 (approx) week old BO pullet behind him...He's MUCH smaller than the big girls, but still tries to boss everyone around! He hasn't gotten much bigger in the body in a while, just keeps getting bigger and fancier tail feathers. Sorry the...

    Do your chickens go in and out of your coop throughout the day?

    My chickens and ducks free range in a large fenced in yard. They have food inside, and water outside (because the ducks make messes with water...). So they will go inside to eat when they want. I have two that are laying so far...at first they laid outside on the ground, so I took plastic...

    When do light brahmas start laying?

    I have 3 LBs. They are about 15 weeks now I think (kinda lost track...). Their faces are just starting to darken up, but their combs & wattles haven't really grown much at all. They are hatchery birds. Hopefully they will start laying before too long...

    Do I have a miniature, dwarf or a runt? *UPDATED WITH VIDEO*

    Just a guess, but seeing as her comb and wattles haven't developed like your other bird, maybe she's just a slower developing breed? I have a couple of OEGBs and they are even smaller than your little bird, so I don't know that she'd be an actual Bantam, (unless different bantam breeds are much...

    This is very interesting! I would love to be able to learn how to sex chicks. But the vent sexing method looked pretty intimidating. Maybe I will try to learn feather sexing...

    What breeds lay the biggest eggs?

    The Biggest eggs are laid by Ostriches! Lol, Leghorns lay the biggest white eggs, red sex-link lay the largest brown from what I've heard.

    Probably a dumb question re: oyster shell

    Ok, thanks. I guess I will just keep an eye on their eggs, and if they seem thin then I will get them some oyster shell.
