    Photos - bulging belly - is this normal?

    So, I felt this - bulging belly and it's very soft, very warm, kinda reddish-pink. I can't feel anything hard or egg-like in there, so don't think she's egg bound. She seems to be eating fine, took several minutes to catch her, ... just kinda worried about what might be going on. She is a RIR...

    How Many Can I Have?

    We have a two level Chicken Condo. The upper level is the coop and is 4' x 8' with 4 nest boxes (made them before we realized that they'd all prefer the SAME box! LOL) anyway, the lower "floor" is the ground - and that is enclosed 4' x 10'. They get to freerange around my fenced back yard (about...

    How long w/no eggs?

    I have two showgirl hens - They had just started laying and I was getting 2 eggs per day most days, for maybe 5 weeks before the cold weather (see note below) & rain hit. Now they haven't laid even one egg in ... at least 3-4 weeks. Although they *can* freerange during most days, they don't...

    Egg: Brown with Blue Specks

    This egg looks like someone spattered blue paint on the lower half. I have three RIR - been laying for months now, and they've always been mostly plain brown, sometimes with purplish specks. I'm thinking (read hoping) that my Ameraucana might have laid this? The thing is - she would be new at...

    What is she?

    The one in the middle(ish) -- she's very tiny and looks so much more like a bird than a chicken... any ideas? (The other two were roos and had to go to a new home, but I got three hens in exchange for two roos, so I'm happy!)
