    first eggs

    We've gotten 3 eggs in the last 24 hours from our 17 yr olds. They are small and distinct different shades of brown...2 dark and 1 light. Will the eggs get bigger? Can we eat these first ones? Will the same chickens (2 barred rocks and 2 red sex links) lay the same color? This is exciting...

    My 4 girls are now 16 weeks old and showing signs that they are preparing for laying. I've had the 2 nest boxes closed so they wouldn't sleep in them and learn to roost at nite. Well, they've done that. In fact they squabble over who get the spot closest to the door I open first thing in the...

    chicken lagging behind sisters

    I have 2 barred rocks and 2 red sex links. All 4 are almost 16 weeks old. The 2 sex links and 1 of the barred rocks look the same, maturity wise, in the growth of the combs and wattles. The other rock's comb and wattles are visible but not growing at all. She is otherwise in great shape...

    eating sand

    My almost 3 week old chicks moved into their new brooder today. You'd thought they were released from prison.....running and flapping everywhere. I put a bowl of play sand in and they started eating it in addition to playing in it. They ignored their food until I took the sand out. Then they...

    sand?

    My 2 week old BR's and RIR's are starting to do the bathing thing in the pine chips. Can I put some sand in an area of the brooder for them? If so, what kind. I have some playsand (Home Depot) that I put in my grandson's play area and I'm thinking that should be ok.
