    Olive Egger Fun

    I have a new olive egger that I got as a hatchling this year. My other olive egger and the other 2 that came in this batch are all much more grey. I know olive Eggers can be a variety of mixtures of different breeds, just wondering if anyone knows what mix I might be looking at?

    Tail Feathers and other questions

    I have bought chicks from a hatchery and hatched my own in the past, at different times. This is the first year I hatched my own and got some selected breeds from a hatchery. My hatchery chicks seem to be developing feathers (tail especially) more quickly than the ones we hatched (easter Eggers...

    Fairy Egg Layer

    My buff orpington hen, Linda, has never been a very good layer. She has laid a lot of soft shell eggs in her life, lol. Now that she's around 3 years old, she's laying fairy eggs. The funny thing is, the shells on the fairy eggs are strong and normal, there's just no yolk. I'm assuming she's...

    Hey guys, thought it would be fun to try to figure out what this chick might be. The egg came from a friend's farm and she's got quite a variety of breeds/mixes, so we have no idea what this little one is. Just hatched today out of a very light green egg. The one in the pink egg is coming along...

    Space questions

    I've read a pretty wide range of sq ft per chicken. I ordered the Omelet Eglu UP coop with the 9' run, and our chickens will be able to be out of the pen for a good bit of the day. Will this work as they grow into full sized ladies or did I screw up and should have sprung for the Cube? I'm not...
