    Took all Spring/Summer and the coop is finally done!

    I've read about this before but never really pictured my girls doing this. Until they actually did. I was out there trying to take a picture of the two cockerels I need to find homes for when they started making sounds I'd never heard before. It was kinda creepy and they were all huddled...

    How common is it for EE to lay white egg?

    I don't even want to try and imagine the genetics involved in my much loved EE's but was wondering if others have seen this. Is the white egg gene dominant? She's a bit different as she's the first EE we've had with a sort of floppy comb. All the rest had rose combs. Thanks.

    Free RIR Rooster in Central New Jersey

    I'm 99% sure I have a rooster (4 weeks old) and would like to place him before the crowing starts or shortly after just to make sure he's a he.

    Another one From New Jersey...

    Hello, Been a lurker since last year when I thought we would be getting chickens. Turns out we had to wait until this year. We now have 10 chicks in the brooder (RIR, BO, BR and EE) that are happy and curious. We moved into our house with a large backyard last summer and the first thing I...
