    5 year old hens

    I haven't had an egg since Sept. 2015 and in going through pictures just realized that my hens were chicks in April of 2011. I didn't realize how fast time had passed but it has. Should I even expect anymore eggs? They will continue to live their lives in our backyard as they have but I'd...

    Help with diagnosis, spots on comb

    One of my hens, 20 month old austrolorp suddenly started getting white almost puss filled looking spots on her comb and waddles. I fear that I know what this is but just wanted to get a collective diagnosis. None of my other 8 hens show symptoms and this quickly appeared. I checked them...

    Georgetown Texas

    Egg Hoarding?

    Am I the only one that feels the need to keep massive amounts of eggs on hand? Looking at my second fridge one would think I'm preparing for the apocalypse and using eggs as my only rations. I've managed to get a few of the friends buying eggs, mainly to pay for food. I sold 3 dozen this week...

    Georgetown Texas

    I'm sure I'm not the only one. Just wanted to post this since I believe its about to be voted on by the council. http://urbanfarming.georgetown.org/ I still think that a proper form of showing the benefits of a backyard flock would be for members to send eggs to the city managers office...

    Gender please, pic heavy

    Still torn on some of the pics Ive seen of GLW hens with larger than normal head gear. I have 3, and Ill label the pics as Fat comb, thin comb and point comb. Also need to inquire about the Australorp that looks nothing like a Spangled Orloff it was sold as The Wyandottes were all hatched...

    Question on sneezing

    I've read a few hundred posts and before I convince myself the sky is falling figured Id ask. I have 7 week old chicks that just moved to the outside coop last week. The coop has dirt floor, reclaimed part of my yard which happened to be the manicured flowerbeds. My chicks sneezed...

    Its like a sonogram all over again

    Boy or girl I'm thinking that out of my 3 GLW and 3 Partridge I have 3 roosters and 3 pullets, hope I'm wrong so I'm looking for some help. The Wyandotte should all be right at 6 weeks if the feed store gave me accurate info. The other one, still unsure of breed, should be right at 4. I've...

    It grew

    How is it that the actual size is always more than the dimensions in your head. I measured the space that I had and told myself OK 4W x 5T x 8L will be enough for my 6 hens. Took a crash course in google sketchup and got to work. I started building and thought you know I have the length why...

    New chicks and another breed gender Q

    I grew up on a ranch and my grandmother had several chickens. Now that I have children I want to give them the same opportunity I had as a child. My wife originally veto'd the bill, after seeing easter chicks at the feed store and getting the guilt trip from the daughter she caved. When I...
