    *UPDATE*.......... THE BABIES ARE HERE!!!

    I left 12 eggs out for my girls to hatch, and my GLW has been sitting on them for almost the entire time, but when she leaves the nest to eat and drink, I have another hen (an EE mix) that hops in and tries to steal them from her. LOL! She gets very upset, so what I did was divide the 12 between...

    I NEED HELP PLEASE.......

    Yesterday at around 5 pm my husband told me one of my EE pullets was probably going to die. Upon walking out to the coop, he was holding her and told me he found her hanging, upside down, on one of the wire hooks that we hang their water and food from. Don't ask me how she got up there.... She...

    EE babies.... Take a look please and tell me if I'm right on the genders.

    Two chicks died within 2 days, should I be concerned for the others?

    Hi all, I just bought a few EE chicks Thursday and already lost 1 on Friday at 2 pm, and another Saturday at around 10 pm. They seemed fine at first, then the first one suddenly couldn't use her right leg and was dragging it behind her, her foot was curled under, and she was walking on the top...

    Something took one of my babies!!!

    My husband came inside this afternoon and told me that something killed one of my BO pullets. She would have been 3 months old this coming Tuesday. I looked everywhere for her, didn't worry about whether she was alive or dead, I just wanted to find her. I found nothing but a big clump of...

    Mystery babies....what are they? ~~~UPDATE~~~ *New Pics*

    I was at our local flea market last Saturday and bought 3 chicks. Unfortunately one of them died later that night. Anyway the guy had a sign that said he had RIR's, White Leghorns, and Araucanas, all straight run, so I have no idea what the sex is either, if anyone knows that it would help...

    HUGE egg out of my EE....

    Today when I was collecting my eggs I found a HUGE egg layed by one of my EE's. It is over 3 inches long and 6 inches around. Is this normal for her? Here is a pic of one of the "normal" size eggs she usually lays, along with one of the brown eggs. What do you all think about this? Is she having...

    Anybody have a clue? I'm lost here.....

    So my hubby informed me that I have to go pick up 6 chicks tomorrow that he found on Craigslist for free with all supplies. This is exactly what the lady posted as the first sentence in the ad....(I copied and pasted) "I have six baby hens, only a few weeks old that I need to rehome asap...

    I feel Horrible! One of my chicks died tonight and it may have been my fault......

    I was at the local flea market today and there was a man selling some chicks. He claimed to have RIR's, White Leghorns, & Araucana's. He had 3 of the Araucana's left, so I took them, not knowing the sex of them, he told me he'd give me all three for $7. The cages they were in were awful and I...

    What are these mystery girls? Any clue?

    Does anyone have any clue as to what these girls are? They are about 3 weeks old now. My husband's uncle brought 9 of them to us, and they were supposedly from the assorted red pullet bin at tractor supply. We bought 6 of them a week earlier from a different tractor supply, and the ones we...

    OH BOY!!! Here We Go......

    So my hubby and I went to TSC and bought 6 of the assorted red pullets the other day. I also ordered 15 more pullets, 5 BO's, 5 GLW, & 5 Austrolorps from Cackle Hatchery, that should be here by Friday. So yesterday my husband's uncle came to the house and brought 9 more of the assorted red...

    Tell me if i'm right please...

    OK, So I finally got ahold of my big black girl, and she is neither a JG or a Australorp. Her feet on the bottom are the same color as her legs, like a grey color. So i'm just going to assume she's not pure anything! LOL! I also went, just to be curious, and checked my 9 week old black, that I...

    Let's play......Name That Breed....

    I aquired 6 hens to add to my flock. I'm pretty sure what breeds they are, but i'd like to find out what you guys think, and see if i'm right. The woman I got them from didn't know what they were. LOL! Here are some pics, and my guesses at what they could be. #1 Jersey Giant or Austrolorp...

    Silver Laced Wyandottes.....are they both males?

    I got these little guys(?) when they were about 4-5 weeks old. They are now around 9 weeks. The one I am almost positive is a male, but the other is questionable. I have another that has a smaller comb, and it's still pinkish in color, but these two are constantly causing a ruckus in the box...
