    Chicken in hyperdrive - multiple eggs!

    Less of a question more a share. I have three chickens, they lay different shade/colour of egg so it's pretty easy to tell who laid what. I collect the eggs every morning. Yesterday I went out and there was 4 eggs. Tandoori had treated us to an extra. Today I went out and there was 5 eggs...

    Just want to say thanks and to keep being your awesome selves!

    I want to say a big thank you to this community. I am a complete newbie when it comes to chickens. Wanted them for years but only took the plunge, May gone. I'll be completely honest, I didn't do enough research. I made a lot of mistakes in a short period of time but thankfully it has all...

    Is this dry fowl pox?

    Hi all, I'm fairly new to having chickens and would love your opinion. The darkness on her comb has been growing slowly over the past 6 weeks. Honestly I thought it was dirt at first but no, definitely the comb discoloured. She's in excellent form, great appetite, loads of energy. None of...

    One chicken, Four soft shells, 48 hours.

    Our little lady Tikka has not had the best two days. In a 48 hour period we have gotten FOUR soft shelled eggs from her. The first I would consider shell less, second was completely soft rubber like, third was more solid on top and bottom with a soft rubber band in between and the final had a...

    One of the girls doesn't like the new nest box.

    We've build a new coop for my three girls and all is going well except that one of the them won't use the nesting box. She lays on the floor of the coop. Prior to the new coop, we had one of those store bought doll house type coops and she had no issues using the nesting box in there. I've left...

    First double yoker.

    Two of the three girls, Tandoori and Tuscan have been laying consistently for nearly two weeks, so proud of them. I've been tracking the weights and they've gone from a starting weight of about 50g all the way to 60-62g BUT yesterday Tuscan laid a 84g egg and when I cracked it today it was a...

    Mesh help! Goldilocks situation, too hot, too cold and none perfect.

    Im in a bit of a predicament. Currently building a new coop and run for the girls Ideally I want to buy 13x13mm 16 gauge weld mesh. (I'm in Ireland, I think this is 1/2" hardwire cloth in the states, but please correct me if I'm wrong) but I cannot source it anywhere. So my choices; 13x13mm 19...

    Our first egg! We're so proud.

    Happy Sunday everyone! It's a been a lovely sunny day in Ireland (nice change) and our Daisybelle decided to lay her first egg. We had no idea it was coming, no indication until today. None of the usual behaviours I've read about online, no swatting, wattle and comb are still pink, no nesting...

    Pullet coughing

    We got three pullets a week ago. They've settled in well. But one of the chickens arrived with a sporadic cough, she doesn't seem bothered by it other than shaking her head. The other two have not developed it. Managed to capture a video. All three are eating, drinking and sunbathing...

    Hi everyone, first time chicken owner.

    Hi everyone, complete newbie here. We just welcomed three ladies into our home last Friday. So we're now a household of two hoomans, two cats and three chickens. We've made so many mistakes so far, I'm so embarrassed to say but doing everything in our power to rectify them. We stupidly bought a...
