    To Cull or Not to Cull?

    Orpy our BO approx 1 year old is an internal layer, I suspect. She had a prolapsed vent at about 6 months of age, we got that taken care of, so we thought. She had been laying pretty consistently for quite a while, but recently, she has been laying soft shelled eggs, and no hard ones. Her bottom...

    Question about chicken poop!

    Ok so I'm selling my chicken manure to a guy this Friday. But I'm wondering, since I have never seen chicken manure any other way than what is in my yard, what consists of manure? I mean, we have pine shavings, hay and poop all mixed together and decomposing. Is this considered manure? I'm just...

    I have a listing on localharvest.com and apparently I clicked that i have chicken manure available. Which I do, but I didn't think anyone would want it. So, someone does. I figure I have about 3 wheelbarrows full of the stuff, mixed with pine shavings and hay. A local garden wants it, and I...

    Dh calls me at work and tells me that he thinks Squidy our Black sexlink laid two eggs today.. I know it's not supposed to be possible, but have others had this happen? We know it's hers, because the other 3 gals lay either pullet eggs or banty EE eggs, and her eggs are HUGE! Anyone? ~Caran

    So out of our 5 adult girls, only 2 are laying. The other 3 are either getting ready, or way past the age of laying (barred rock looks to be older than dirt, no clue on age). So that leaves 2 girls that should start laying any time now. And both are grumpyyyyyyyyy. Wow, squawking at eachother...

    Another case of mystery chick (we think)

    We have a chick that we bought along with 7 others at a local feed store from Privett Hatchery. We were told she was a Black Sex Link. As she gets a bit older she is not developing the same feather pattern as our other Black Sex Link the same age. She is about 4 weeks old. On the front of her...

    Need pictures of Barred Rock Hens/Pullets please....

    We aquired Boots a couple weeks ago from a gal, and she said that Boots was a pullet. But after looking at her for a while now, she looks OLD! She's blind in one eye, which doesn't mean anything, but still. Also, her comb and wattles are a dull pink, kinda dried up looking, and she doesn't look...

    Roo or Pullet? Is Sandy a boy???

    Ok yesterday morning, our girl Sandy, started crowing. But she did so when we brought our babies our to their run for some play time. So I figured it was just her getting mouthy and complaining about all the attention the little ones were getting. Didn't think anything more about it. Until...
