    Does this speckled egg look like a Welsumer?

    We are first timers and 3 of our 7 hens are laying at 21 wks. I know the light brown eggs pictured are from our BR and our BO, because I've seen them lay. I suspect that the speckled eggs are from our Welsumer. Is this what they would look like? Other hens yet to lay include: 2 EE's, 1 BCM and...

    Coop Readiness - How soon can chicks go out in a coop?

    I'm sure I still have a few weeks to go, but my 7 pullets are currently 4 weeks old. They are getting louder, messier and stinkier and the giant Rubbermaid bin seems to be shrinking daily. I know they will be happier to have more space, but I feel like they're still too small to be put outside...
