    GOT MY FIRST EGG YESTERDAY!

    I went to check my girls yesterday evening and low and behold in the middle of the coop was my first beautiful egg. The picture is my egg compared to a store bought large egg. I believe this was possibly laid by one of my Delawares.

    5-6 week old chick with red skin tag under beak

    I just noticed this today, it's very small and just on one side of the lower beak but it's bright red, I don't think I see one on the other side. This is also the chick that I thought was a male so is it possible he is starting to show male characteristics? It's a hatchery buff brahma.

I love brahmas so I don't care how many eggs they produce but I was just curious people's experience with them. I read they lay about 3 a week, so more than...

Now I have been told this is late in the season to be ordering chicks, especially my specific breed. I estimated they would start laying around 6 months (November) but with...
