    New Hampshires? Maybe?

    A friend of ours bought too many fluffy butts at TSC, and gave us three of them when they were already almost fully feathered out; and couldn't remember the breed! No eggs yet so I can't even use egg color to help and My curiosity is getting the better of me! I'm 99% sure they aren't RIR, and...

    oh for sure. I don't blame the dog for doing it's doggy thing, it was just super scary for us, and the owners were like "oh well" about their dog getting loose is what was making my husband upset.

    Washingtonians Come Together! Washington Peeps

    If my husband had had it his way, there would have definitely been some extra carnitas being served. Sad thing is, I spent more time looking for my chicken than they did looking for their dog - who eventually ran back home. I'm glad all my girls are ok, for sure! We even got 1 egg so far...

    Chicken scare yesterday. One of the neighborhood dogs got out while they were BBQing out front, and decided to roam the neighborhood. From what I was told, he started to go into one neighbors garage, and when that neighbor walked towards him - he went for my backyard! (our neighborhood is a...

    Can I give my chicken protein shake?

    Can you put her regular food in a food processor with water and make her a chicken shake that way?

    Washingtonians Come Together! Washington Peeps

    My girls took to the nipple waterer almost immediately. We made sure to make a big show of tapping them and making the water come out, and made sure there was a drop of water hanging from each. We took away the other water the same day. Within a few hours the head hen went to the waterer and...

    Distressed because of no egg in nest area?

    Thanks! I did put the fake ones back in, and there was three eggs today! First time ask three that are laying laid on the same day. I'll take it, and leave the fake ones in place if it means more eggs!

    We wash in cold, but it's because we're cheap like that, lol. But the "heavy soil" setting is our default!

    Distressed because of no egg in nest area?

    Ok, back story: I recently took out the fake eggs that were in the nest area. Today, I happened to be outside when Sassy was laying. Husky was all but crossing her legs waiting for Sassy to finish up. When Sassy was done, I grabbed the egg so that she would come out a little sooner. When she...

    You know you are "Country" when...

    We aren't exactly country, but we have some urban farms in our area. Pulled into Fred Meyer, and the prius next to me ( yes, prius), had a bale of hay in the front passenger seat and somehow, three in the back seat! I was laughing too hard to grab my phone fast enough to get a pic before the...

    Who else is waiting for that first egg?

    Well, today was humiliating. I was out doing chores, and my head hen looked me in the eye, sang the egg song and promptly jumped out of the nest box and walked out of of the coop. Such an egg tease!

    won't go in the coop at night

    My two newbie cents, the roost bars aren't long enough. All four of my girls like to sleep in a line, all huddled up. And maybe try wider? We had a roost bar two inches wide, and they HATED it, changed it to a four inch wide and they're all happily roosting before i even go shut the door at night

    Lied to about laying EE pullets.

    They're adorable. On a side note, I had to re-read your post to realize you meant roosted not roasted. I was ready to let out a tear or two for your egg loss!

    Who else is waiting for that first egg?

    @Mutt Farm, I'm already thinking of adding to my flock. Only one of ours is very sociable, the other three either run or barely deign to acknowledge our presence. Fun to watch, but... I'm thinking about some black lace or cold hardy hens that lay dependably through winter. I would love some puff...
