    Moving to a new farm and don't know what to do!

    So, right now we're in a smaller place. We have 8 younger egg-layers, all full-sized that get along well and stay in an enclosed, sand-filled chicken coop. Then we have a second set of mixed bantams (lots of silkies, a few Cochins,) and some full sized polish, a lakenvelder, both sizes of...

    Egg size!!!

    I got quite the variety today! One chicken laid her first egg, which is smaller than a quarter! And another one laid the biggest one I've ever seen! I put one of our normal eggs in the picture for comparison. Do you think the big one has a double yolk?!

    Chickens pooping on roof of hen house

    So, we have a 5x8 covered sand area, with two hen houses. One house is conveniently located outside of the run, while the other is inside and getting very very dirty. In the picture it was on the floor of the run, but now it's 30" off the ground on stilts and still getting covered in poop each...

    Is my Barred Rock a hen or roo?

    I bought it from Rural King as a pullet, and I know the colors say rooster, but please tell me there's still hope. I can't keep roosters where we are, and I've raised him by hand since we got it 17 weeks ago. We have five others (Amerucanas and an Austrolorp) that are clearly girls... But I've...
