    Greetings from Virginia

    Welcome! Good luck with your chickens. You can get lots of good advice here. Top on my list for a coop is nesting boxes that you can access from outside. Being able to gather eggs without going into the coop.

    What did you do in the garden today?

    I checked on the two raised beds I planted English peas in. I have a very nice stand of them. Fresh English peas are so much better than canned. We also got compost spread over our larger garden space. We have to till it in and plant red potatoes in the next week or two

    What types chickens lay blue/green eggs?

    Thanks. I didn't know how to spell it. I believe my daughter got them from Rural King. I imagine they had it spelled right

    What types chickens lay blue/green eggs?

    We thought the ones with beards are called Americana. Are the Easter eggers the ones a little colored the same but without the beard feature?

    I can't remember. Some longer than others. A year and a half or two. Two were killed by dogs

    Got us some ex commercial hens. <3

    You have given them a haven for their last years. I remember mine having really long nails on their feet, but they naturally wore down to reasonable length when they had a chance to scratch about.

    Got us some ex commercial hens. <3

    We had some commercial hens once that were being done away with. I enjoyed them. It didn't take long before they started laying. They actually were friendly.

    What Breed is my hen?

    We bought some chicks labeled Americana. She does not look like an Americana. What do we have? She sure is a pretty hen.

    Official BYC Poll: Do you allow your chickens outside in the snow, or keep them indoors?

    Snow is very rare here in South Georgia, but we got 6" a few weeks back. Chickens can go in and out of the coop as they wish. We didn't change that. They did fine being out in it

    Back to My Roots

    My first try with chickens didn't go well, but now we have a flock of 30 on our farm. I get a lot of good tips here. Welcome, and good luck with your chickens

    What did you do in the garden today?

    I will plant English peas in the raised beds tomorrow or Thursday. In South Georgia, you have to plant them early to get a crop. They don't like warm weather. I need to crop the collard greens.
