    Any Fancy breeds that are good egg producers?

    One of the 15 are laying soft shelled

    She was suppose to be a Buff Orpington.

    Any idea what she is? She is a very friendly chicken. I just wish she didn't like pecking my toes so much.

    What breed is this?

    I have ten chicks that I thought were all the same age. But four of them are growing much faster. They have black feathers, black beaks, flesh coombs, black toes (except for parts of some middle toes which are white). They seem tame enough and I have not seen them bullying the smaller chicks...

    Sprouts and chickens?

    Hello everyone, I love to sprout and constantly have fresh sprouts around the house. Would sprouts be good for the chickens? At the moment they are only 2 weeks old. Should I through a few sprouts in and see if they like them? :)
