..........definately odd, to say the least. Weve gotten them in weird shapes, sizes and colors, as I am sure most have and weve also gotten a couple with dark bands around them that were raised(no it didn't wash off ).
Then this morning I got the weirdest egg I 've seen yet: it has no shell at...

This is one of the better built coops I've seen!!<---better than a lot of people do their own houses......'bird-mouth' cut outs and notches and all......real corners and vinyl flooring......I am one of the people that get the chicks first, then worry about the coop, etc...., haha---I think most...

Thanks sammi! Yes. I 've been trying to help her eat and I am going to try your warm water/yolk method..... She has been eating most of the day but really is starting to bang up the side of her face trying so hard....
She definately has spirit!
Well, the girls got 90% of my day today...........cleaned the coop good and changed out all of their pellets and scratch with new fresh...... I got aviacharge2000 and followed directions from you guys plus added it to the coop's waterer as per instructions.....that seems to be some awesome stuff...
Oh.........not a Silkie. I believe she's a Sex Link. We have RIR's, laced or barred Rocks(sp?), I dont even remember the others right now........... She's of med size, golden color, 100% personality, always the first one to great you at their pen-----which is why I figure she may have gotten...
Wow!! You guys are AWESOME!!! I was gone all day(b-day thing) and just now got home to come in here to see if there were any responses...... WOW!
So we get home and I have my SO drop me off down at the coops, she thinks I am nuts , so I can bring our hen up here to the house as weve been doing...
One of our favorite hens has a twisted neck........poor girl......
We noticed about a week ago that she was twisting her head to the right and was having balancing problems......now she walks in right circles, pecks at food/water kind of sideways. Weve been bringing her in at night and she...
and down here on the South End of Key Peninsula it seems there are more fires going now than usual--blatenly. The fire dept wont enforce the PSCA rules out here.......at anytime during the year it seems. But then again, the last time the store was robbed it took the sherriff's dept over an hour...
8 from 11 ladies.........seems to be the average this winter.
This, on the other hand, is not average.......
.......all I can say for her is.......OUCH!!!
........yeah, I am curious too. It's not a matter if I want them in the rain or not...... I want what is best for them. My girls stand out in the rain too, though the wind kept them in today. But I am worried that if they're soaked when they go in the house at night that they may...
......... If you are talking "laying hens" that are laying already, $20-$25 is not too much. Around here(Western WA) I regularly see laying hens for $20+ on CL. I just checked and there are 2 ads from today for laying hens: One has them for $20, the other $25......... 12 wks old girls are...
We will see if the paper cups work...in the oven now.......
..........well, the paper cups sure aren't needed It worked but got a bit sticky from the molasses..... and the ones that I just greased came right out nice. The girls were in Heaven!!! Today was nasty as expected and was the first...
Our son was convinced it was his dinner..................I told him, "Grab a bowl...," as I was mixing it. He was standing there waiting for me to dish him up and said it looked like bird food............
We will see if the paper cups work...in the oven now.......
I used 1 cup cooked...
DH had to also buy "special" tools (not sure if it was really necessary) like a new drill and drill bits, lots of screws....
This was a funny comment!! I had to get a few tools when I built our coop. I got a new nail gun that shoots from 2" to 3 1/3" sinkers, a new wormdrive SkillSaw, and a...
