    HeiHei hatched her third batch of eggs.

    HeiHei is officially a grandma. I have an olive egger roo who fertilized eggs from my flock. This is her first time hatching eggs from our own chickens. So exciting! She hatched 3 of her own babies for the first time. And the other 4 are from chickens that she raised herself. So she just became...

    Tiny silkie egg.

    My silkie has been laying eggs for about two weeks now. Today she laid a tiny little egg. Looked like an all white quail egg. I haven't cracked it yet to see if there was a yolk. 🤣

    Not so free-ranging.

    Hi all, When I had my chickens in Northern California, I allowed my 4 hens to roam free in my backyard. For about 4 months, until a hawk swooped in and ate half of my white crested black polish. I came home from work devastated. Since then, I only let them out when I'm home from work. About 2...

    Welsummer laying blue eggs?

    Hi all! I have, what I thought was, a welsummer that I bought from someone. As she got bigger, I've noticed that the color and pattern doesn't quite match welsummers I've seen in pictures. This morning, there was a large brown egg that I know for sure was from my RIR. Then an hour later I go...

    Bantam laying darker eggs as she continues laying?

    Hi all! I was wondering if a hen can start laying darker eggs. One of my bantams started laying last week and it was a white egg. Then she laid a second and third egg and it was creamy white. Then a fourth and fifth and it was almost light brown. It's the row on top from left to right. I'm not...

    One of my bantams laid a blue egg!

    Hi all! I'm so excited to announce that one of my bantams laid her first egg! And it's bluish/green. I don't know what kind of bantam she is because my friend gave her to me as a chick and he didn't know what they were. Can anyone identify what she is? Thanks!

    Penguin laid her first egg!

    My barred rock, Penguin, laid her first egg today! She has been checking out the coop the past month, then the nesting boxes the past two weeks. Last week she started squatting. Today she was very vocal inside the coop. So I checked on her and she was in a nesting box. I checked on her about 5...

    My new chicken home!

    After a week and a half, I finally finished my coop and run. Built all this for just under $700. 7x10 ft run that's 7-8 ft high. Coop is 3x7 2 ft from the ground.

    Chicks hatching!

    My first sex link hatched exactly 21 days. One of the leghorn was the first who started, but stopped. My cuckoo maran (Zebra) started pecking at and tossing the sex link chick, so I had to remove it and give it to my game fowl (HeiHei). She took it in and is being such a good mom. So I decided...

    Two of my hens have been broody. My cuckoo marans for 3 weeks and game fowl for about2 months. I didn't want to keep pushing them out of the coop so I decided to get 6 fertile eggs. I put 3 sexlink and 1 brahma under my cuckoo marans and 2 leghorns under my game fowl. They pushed them under...

    My chicks and home made chicken coop.

    Here are my 7 week old cuckoo maran, deleware and white crested black polish. And the chicken coop I built using a broken book shelf, crates and chicken wire. The cuckoo and deleware are almost as big as HeiHei. Polish is still tiny.

    What breed is she?

    I found this little girl last week and had been raising her. She laid a white egg 6 days ago and hasn't laid another one since. She's very friendly. I can't find pictures to show me what she is.
