    Fox attack!!

    A fox attacked my favorite girl minutes after my husband and dog stepped back inside. Hubby shot the fox. It's dead. As we were discussing what needs to be done with bodies Dolly gets up and walks off! She has feather loss and a good bite to her back with 5-6 punctures. I've sprayed with...

    Realistically how many eggs should expect each day?

    My 6 girls are 7 or 8 months old now. I've been getting eggs for about a month now and earlier this week I got a daily high of 5 eggs. Right now I typically get 4 but there are days I only get 3, usually followed by a double hiker. I have 2 Wyandottes, 2 Brahmas (I think one isn't laying quite...

    Is she a he? ....Also questioning breed

    My birds are right around 6 months old. I thought this one was a partridge wyandotte. But as 'she' has matured the penciling on the feathers has greatly faded and she has gotten quite reddish. She also has a much larger comb than my other Wyandottes. Her tail is also significantly longer by...

    Any guess on the breeds of my chicks?

    When I picked up my chicks from Theisen's farm store 3 days ago they were simply labeled as assorted heavy breed pullets. So anyone want to take a guess at their breeds? I've taken my best uneducated guesses! Here is a group shot so you can see their body markings. At first i thought maybe...
