    How much should an Australorp hen weigh?

    One of my Australorp hens is looking a little thin so i weighed her and she is 4 pounds. She is the biggest eater in the flock! Is 4 pounds normal? She is about 2 years old and she doesn't have worms.

    Is it possible for a duck to lay 2 eggs in a day?

    They are 14 months old. The ducks sleep with the chickens so a hen could have laid it but it was with the duck eggs and looks exactly the same.

    Interesting cross breed chickens

    I also love a colorful egg basket( or coffee can!). new customers are always so amazed when they get eggs for the first time and see all the colors! One of them made some sort of art picture out of the blue egg shells! Lol!

    Whats the funniest thing your chickens have ever done?

    I've never heard of that before! I dont think she ate it though, there was probably something in the bottom she was pecking. Oddly enough my flock doesn't like tomatoes anymore! They used to slip through the fence and get in the garden to peck every tomato that was starting to turn! Now, 100s of...

    Interesting cross breed chickens

    When do Easter Eggers begin to lay? Why will they not go in the grass?

    It's windy here so their feathers are blowing everywhere! The hens are the red one in the back and the brownish one. The rooster wouldn't get out of the picture! ( forgot to add that what you see them doing in the picture is what they do all day long)

    When do Easter Eggers begin to lay? Why will they not go in the grass?

    I have 2 easter egger hens that are almost 7 months and are not laying yet. They get scraps, scratch, whole corn and laying pellets. They always have fresh clean water. I have a large chicken pen but they trampled the grass down so i let the flock in my backyard. For some reason the 2 Easter...

    How can i tell if I have bantam Barred Rocks?

    I have three Barred Rocks and noticed they were growing slower then my other chicks so i made a thread about it. People said they might be bantam Barred Rocks. I got them from Rural King and the sign above the tub just said " Barred Rocks". The smallest one weighs about 1 pound and they are...
