    Anybody use Purina Layena Free range?

    If so, how do you like it? I got it because it has Marigold in it which is supposed to make the egg yolks darker. My hens do free range all day and have access to feed all day, but their yolks are a light yellow still.

    Leghorn/Isbar

    Anyone have experience with Leghorns covered by an Isbar Rooster? My brother, a leghorn fanatic, had chicks half leghorn and half Isbar and they are now laying a really nice blueish green egg with the frequency of a Leghorn. Would a Lavender Ameraucana/Leghorn produce blue layers in similar...

    Is the egg fertilized?

    What do you guys think? We have a white Plymouth rock that should ideally be crowing by now if he were to be a rooster(6 months old). Although he looks like a chicken, he's been mounting one of the hens and this is her egg.

    Clearly not a Lavender Americauna??

    I got this one as a chick and it's now almost 4 months old. The gal sold them as Lavender americaunas. But he/She isn't really looking like one. That tail looks rather rooster. Yes? Thanks!

    Nest box impact absorber ?

    We shingled the nest box lid, that thing is very heavy. My son was checking for eggs, his fiftieth time today and dropped the lid on his finger and somehow ripped a chunk of meat off. Any ideas for some sort of slow close impact absorption method? Thanks

    White Rock hen or Rooster

    My MIL is insisting this is a Rooster. She's about 4-5 months old, no eggs or crowing. Just eating all of my food. These things have an appetite for sure. Anyways, Rooster? Thanks

    Can you tell the age of a chicken?

    This might not be the smartest of questions, but are you able to tell the age of a chicken at all? I got this barred rock hen, advertised as a 9 month old. She hasn't laid any eggs in the week we've had her. I'm starting to wonder if she's younger. Or super old lol. Please help.

    Shredder gene

    I'm back with another question. This pullet or roo is about 8 weeks old and is supposed to be a Lavender orp. Is that the shredded feather gene causing this feathering and always molting look?

    Spraddle leg in this chick

    She's a week old and I've never seen spraddle leg in a chick but yesterday It became much more evident she was dragging her left leg. We used bandaids under the zip ties to prevent friction. She keeps biting at the brace, making me nervous to go to bed. We have her separated with a weaker chick...
