We got our first egg on Saturday, I believe from one of our BRs and today we got another only this time from our RIR...YEAH!!! We are finally on our way thanx to my lovely girls
I'm sorry if this has been asked before.
My one BR finally laid her first egg Saturday, but there's been no more since. So how often do they lay eggs once the start? She only laid one...will this be normal for her or will she gradually start laying more? And lastly, do they always lay first...
I have noticed lately that when I attempt to pet or pick up my one BR that it hunches down and pulls its wings up in attempt to prevent me from moving it...any idea why or what it means?
I just loaded some pics to my photostream. Can you please take a look specifically at the RIR and tell me if it is possibly a roo? I noticed his comb and wattles developing more so then the others and he's attempting to mimick the sounds of meat chicken roos. If you notice any other that may be...
Hi all!

Well, here's a link to pics of our potential coop. We spent the weekend working on it and have SEVERAL more weekends to put into finding it's full potential. We've decided to build a temp coop so that we can take our time and do this one right, but it's going to be a long haul...
Our chicks are officially 1 week today and doing good. I noticed this morning that the two lil RI Reds are starting to get tail feathers...heehee...too cute!
Hello~
I have a dozen chicks that are 5 days old and really unsure where to go from here. Could someone point me in the right direction as to what steps to follow. Right now they are in a cardboard box in my livingroom with non-medicated feed and water. We clean the box daily and my children...
(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
For the most part yes. I had chicks as a kid, but always gave them to Grandpa to raise on his farm so this is my first experience at raising them. We got them 3 days ago!
