    Mean Chickens - Thin egg shells!

    I have three wonderful chickens (EEs) that just turned a year old. Their names are Alice, Betty, and Princess Henrietta. They've been together all their lives and, until recently, were as happy as can be. Their eggs were wonderful and they all got along famously. Just today, however, I noticed...

    New Egg Layer - What to Feed??

    5 weeks old and fully developed

    How can you tell if your chicks are bantams? My girls are only 5 weeks old, but they're fully developed and they're not very big. Will they get bigger in the next couple of weeks?

    Newbie from Rosenberg, Texas

    I'm new to chickens (except when I was a young girl--many, many years ago)! I got my 5 girls (Ameraucanas) right before Mother's day (which makes them only 4 weeks old) and am totally smitten with their good looks and winsome ways! I bought Ameraucanas because of their ability to get along well...
