However, I’ve researched the difference between silver leghorns and phoenixes, and I’m wondering if I have a phoenix because my girl has slate legs instead of yellow legs. She lays small cream eggs, has white earlobes and pale skin, and has a black beak...

    Difference between Crévecœur and Silver Leghorn eggs

    Hi, I recently got a Crévecœur and a Silver Leghorn. I've read that both of them lay white medium-sized eggs, so is there any way I could tell their eggs apart? I know my Silver Leghorn's egg is tinted, my Crévecœur hasn't started laying though. Thanks for any help in advance! :)

    Hi, I got home from a two week vacation and my BR had plucked out lots of feathers from my OE's neck. My OE lost about 600 grams. She's super light (1.4 kilos) super weak (always falling asleep and her left leg isn't very strong) and her eye sight is terrible. If I give her food in a bowl half...

    Hen exhausted eggs?

    Hi, my BLP died recently. When pondering the cause, it seems she died from being egg bound. I have read on some websites that chickens can ‘exhaust’ their laying, and since polishes don’t lay much I wonder if that’s what happened. She was supposed to lay 2-3 eggs a week but she only took break...
