I also have 3 BO and I have one that while she is in her nest box she is constantly throwing the straw over her back. She is the only one that does that.... no idea why. She is entertaining... either me or herself, not sure which.
very neat set-up. You have pretty girls.... happy girls with their fine coop and run. I'm new to chicken farming and I can't tell you how excited I was to get my first egg. I think something is amiss in my life when having a chicken lay an egg can make me do a happy dance. Good luck with your...
I got my first egg 4 days ago from one of my buff orp 3 hens. I've had an egg each day since then. I'm positive all 3 girls are laying. They are perfect little eggs... how long before they start laying normal size eggs? I can see that most of the first eggs are small like mine. Aren't they...
Congrats on a job well done. I'm impressed, since it was your first experience building anything. Wow... a professional couldn't have build a finer coop. Your hens look happy.
I got my first egg today. I'm not sure which gal laid it, but earlier in the day I went outside twice because of all the clucking, but didn't think to check the coop for an egg and then this evening when I went out to clean the coop there it was. Laid in the nest box... which I didn't think...
Precious pictures of your daughter and Red Wagon. I'm sorry for her loss. I hope Sebastian recovers quickly... he is a beauty too. Good luck with court.
I would also tell her if you catch her dog in your yard again, it's a dead dog!
Hobby Lobby has fake eggs too. I got two ceramic eggs for my nest box and fooled my neighbor. She was watching the hens for me while I was away and when she let them out that morning, she saw the eggs and said 'oh no... I shouldn't be the first to find an egg'. Then she said she realized they...
I'm sure this question has been answered before, but I can't find a thread for it. So... how often do I dust my coop with DE and sprinkle the yard. My hens are free range so I sprinkled it in the areas where they take their dust bath. We have had so much rain here, not complaining, but do I need...
Wish you the best and hope this owner is more responsible with his dogs. September seems like a long time to have to wait.....
I really feel bad for all of you that have lost dogs to irresponsible dog owners. My chickens free range my backyard and it has an 8' fence around it, but I still worry...
My buff orps are 19 weeks and I've been looking for eggs everyday, but after reading the post above, I'll give my girls more time. I don't believe there has been any squatting, but don't really know what that looks like. Guess I'll know it when I see it. I was also glad to read about the lg red...
I have only 3 buff orpingtons and really wish I could have more, but I live in a subdivision. I'm very thankful that my neighbors have no problem with my 3 girls. Their only
concern was with a roo. I love my girls and never dreamed they could be so much fun.
