    The EE braggers thread!!!

    I love my sweet EE but was so disappointed after waiting 5 months to see what her egg color would be, blue, green or even pink....I ended up with a beige just like my speckled sussex egg. I so wanted a colored egg. she is the most friendliest of our flock though. oh well.-lisa

    Question about diatomaceous earth

    I use it but havent had much experience. my neighbors tried it in their yard to control flea problem with no success. doesnt hurt to try it. think it does sometimes help firm up the runny poo when you put it in the food as its got clay or something in it.

    what is my rooster? he doesnt seem to be an orpington

    what kind is he, seems to have a rose comb and very yellow legs, so he doesnt fit the description of an orpington. he was sold as a buff orpington chick but he's not. what is he? Is he a buff wyandotte or something else? thanks, lisa

    Sand in the brooder -- it's worth it!

    I think next time i brood chicks i will go with the construction sand as it has some bigger particles in it. this time round i used straight Stall Dry which worked great to keep the smell down and keep things dry but I think it was probably even more dusty than regular sand would be and the dust...

    Sand in the brooder -- it's worth it!

    I dont know if there are any extra chemicals in pool filter sand or not nor how fine it is. construction grade sand might be safer.-lisa
