    What would this egg be classified?

    I went to collect eggs today and found one that was huge. I have 6 barred rocks and 6 red sex link hens. I weighed the egg on a digital scale and it weighed a whopping 3.37 ounces/95.5 grams. Has anyone had an egg this size. My only thought was "OUCH" for the poor girl who layed it. My...

    Triple yolker egg...what are the odds?

    Okay, so we used yesterdays huge 3 1/2 ounce egg and it was a triple yolker. Totay when I collected eggs we have a similar sized and weight egg to our triple yolker. What are the odds of having a hen lay triple yolkers on a regular basis? Is it normal? We are consistently getting 5 eggs...

    My 16 week chick(hen) layed an egg!

    Okay all, How is this possible? I didn't expect any eggs for at least another month, but when I went to check on the girls one of them was acting a little off, so as I was checking around the coop...there it was a little brown speckly egg...the momma was a barred rock. It wasn't very large...

    Chicks are now 8 weeks old (I am hoping all girls)

    So, does anyone think they are all girls? None of them have particularly large combs. 6 are BR and 6 are RIR...anybody? The BR's all have black washed legs in different shades. Couldn't convince them to stand up and pose for the pictures My Curious Georgia

    Brooder needed to expand for growing girls

    Okay, so I have 12 (hopefully all) girls that are now 3 1/2 weeks old and have found them getting too big to share only one hutch. I am using the chick-n-hutches from Ware. My solution was to remove the front doors from two hutches and "clamp" them together face to face. I still have the...

    Girls are getting bigger

    So, I am hoping that they are still girls. They are about 2 1/2 weeks old now and getting so much bigger. I am hoping that since their combs are still very small and yellowish that they are still girls...any opinions? There are 6 RIR's and 6 BR's.

    Chicken run question for Arizona

    Hey all, I have learned so much from all of you...my chicks are thankful as well. My question is I found an online site for purchasing the pieces to do canopies. My thought, as our garden/new chicken run is a 20ft by 24ft area and you can buy the pieces to do a "canopy" in that size using EMT...

    Pasty rear-ends meant a spa day for the girls

    Okay, so I got 12 new baby "girls" on Friday and have noticed that the BR's are much more prone to having pasty rears than my RIR's. Today was a "spa day" for all who needed a litttle bath to clean their tushes. They actually seemed to like the warm water and didn't mind being cleaned. I...

    Newbie from Gilbert Arizona

    Hey all, I just got my "first" baby chicks today from a local feed store. 6 each of RIR and BR. They say that they sex them at the company they buy from, so we'll be seeing if we get all girls or not. Looking forward to having them around. We have 6 children in our family...5 are full time...
