    Does a chicken's egg always look the same?

    I'm trying to figure out if one or two of my Welsummers laid these eggs. They are all fairly consistent in color and pattern except the speckly one on the bottom right. It is also smaller than the others. That's my second Welsummer's 1st egg right?

    All signs pointed to my sweet Pidgeotto being a rooster, but I kept hoping he was just a really big and bold hen. He crowed in my face this morning when I opened the coop :(. 2 out of 3 chicks being male is some bad luck. I know some hens will crow, anyone want to give me some hope?

    AI freak out

    I am probably just worrying too much but I came back after 5 days away (they had a chicken-sitter) to see my 3.5yr old sex link in rough shape.

    Crazy Chicken Lady in the making

    Hi everyone! I got my 3 adult red sexlink chickens from a coworker that had a large flock. They are just about 3 years old so they are slowing down laying. I would love to add a few more chickens and I'm very interested in heritage breeds. I am on the look out for some heritage chicks this...
