    Crazy weird double egg.

    I have a batch of buff orps about 6 months old give or take. I found my first egg today but it is weird. Two eggs in one attached together end to end with paper thin shell. Anyone else ever see this?

    Chickens and running.

    Besides my wife and kids my next three favorite things are food, chickens and running (sometimes food and chickens are one in the same). Half marathons, 14k, 5k, 8 milers, road races, trail races, etc. Training for my first marathon now. Any other chicken lovers who love to run as well?

    Red stars don't mess around!

    I had always heard that the RSL's would lay early but this is crazy. They just started laying at under 14 weeks. I am a believer. They are not as pretty as some of my others but when it comes to egg laying they don't mess around.

    Dead rooster.

    I have 50 chickens and don't you know the one that decides to die is my only rooster. Found him under the coop about 6 pm. It has been 100 deg. here today. I guess it was the heat no signs of a struggle. He was a Buff orp. Was just starting to grow on me too. Bummer!

    Which coop gets the barred rocks?

    I have 27 red stars in a coop all hens 6 weeks old, 6 buff orps in another coop 10 weeks old one is a roo. I recently acquired 5 barred rocks 3 day old all hens (supposedly). In a couple of months I will have to decide which coop gets the barred rocks. Both coops and run have ample room. Any...

    Roo?

    Bought 6 "pullets" from my local farm store a couple of weeks ago. I think they were a month old when I bought them. They are all about the same size but one has a comb that is much larger and much more red in color. All six are Buff Orps. I am thinking one of my girls is a boy. Does anyone who...
