    WTB: Black Copper Maran Pullet (about 12 weeks old)

    I am in Central FL and hope to round out our little flock with a Marans. I had one but it turned out to be a beautiful boy.

    Laying after hatching eggs

    My hen, Lady, went broody and we bought her some fertile eggs to hatch. How long after hatching will it be before she starts laying again? She is no longer with her chicks and we just wonder when we can expect eggs from her again? Thanks.

    How did I get an egg this big?

    So, I have 5 layers. My Jersey lays the largest egg and it's a nice dark rosy color (I can easily identify her eggs). Then my Dominicker lays the second largest and second darkest egg (so also not too hard to identify). The other 3 girls lay eggs that are a bit more of a medium size and...

    Chicks Hatched today

    Our little broody hen hatched her first chicks today. They are EEs from the same Dad and maybe the same mom. Any thoughts on their sex? Thanks. First time adding pics, hope it works!

    Help, almost time for eggs to hatch and I have questions!

We have 5 girls and Lady is on the bottom of the pecking order (she earned her name by being so very ladylike). We found that she was hiding in the nest box for a few days and while...

    Chicken Tunnel

    Several months ago I saw a Coop and Run with a chicken wire tunnel between the two. I can't find that picture now and was hoping someone knows what I am talking about and can point me in the right direction. We are just about finished with our coop and run and are putting in a tunnel between...

    Playing in the rain

    I am in FL and it has been really hot for several weeks. Each night, when I get home from work, my husband and I head out to the chickens and open their tractor into the additional run space (not predator proof so we have to be near when they are in it). We bring them snacks of breads, fruits...

    Using a kid's playhouse for a coop questions.

    Being new at this and really wanting to get the girls out into their permanent coop prior to laying, we have been looking for something we can easily convert to a nice coop. We were going to build but the heat in FL right now is not conducive to working all weekend for a month in the sun. We...
