We bought them as Ameraucanas from the local farm store. Are they supposed to have blue legs? They have a sort of green color legs. I don't really care cause i love the snot out of them. Just curious. Sweetest babies EVER! They are getting big fat beards and cheeks too. Ignore the little...

I know shes layed. We had 7 hens and were getting 7 eggs a day for a while. Ive seen her in the box and collected her egg. And these spurs are a really new thing. And her waddles have gotten longer. What the heck????

First off yes my girls are true ISAs from Zeeland. They will be three years old in May. One died last year and so now we have 3 isas and 3 RIRs. In year I to 2 we would get an average of 6 eggs a day every day. Now going into year 3 it's two most days. I'm guessing the isas are done at this...

We have ISA browns and Rhode island Reds. I don't know if they are big or small compared to other breeds but the ISAs are so sweet and friendly. The reds can be but they dont seem to want to be touched most of the time. The ISAs will jump up in your lap if you have something yummy for them...

We have had 7 chickens for 5 months. With start up and cost for coop and food I would say we have spent at least a couple hundred.

Holy cow I cant believe the thick lining on our eggs as compared to the store bought eggs! Just wondering does this make for easier peeling when hard cooked or does it make it worse? I do want to try steaming them because we love hard boiled but hate trying to peel them!

this is the COOLEST thing EVER!

The last of My ISAs (4 in all) layed her first egg today! 1st one has been laying for 17 days with one egg every single day. 2nd has layed an egg each day for the last 3. 3rd had 1st yesterday and second today. And them today my little Nugget. I would never have dreamed she was ready. Shes...

We have 7 chickens all hatched around may 10th. As far as I have seen only one is laying. She's an ISA and has layed every day for 12 days. I've seen her lay at least 5 of those and I have yet to have more then one egg a day. I have at least 3 other chickens who are as developed as her and I'm...

I've gotten a single egg every day since last wed. I thought it was a rhode island at first. But Saturday Sunday and today I've watched one of the ISAs, Dumpling laying the egg. Is it possible that she's been laying every day since her 1st egg? I didn't think they layed so frequently at first...

That is soooo cute!! I love it!!

Before my family got the idea to try and raise chickens, we knew nothing. Well maybe a little as my boyfriend grew up on a farm. However the difference between what his dad did there and what we need to do for our backyard flock is quite large! So much of what I know and now feel confident...

YAY!!! I suspect this came from our RIR Buffalo who I posted about saturday. I found it in the window well of the basement window where they like to hang out!. Im such a dork Im so excited"" I texted my boyfriend but he hasnt seen it yet! I think I will keep them penned up until i get home form...

I guess I was saying higher protein then coffee grounds lol.

We are pretty sure they are real ISAs. Their pellets are 16% protein which is what we were told was good for them

Well those were two different people. The guy who feeds garbage lives in Ohio. I dont know him we just talked to him at a party at a mutual friends. And the guy with the hens in the small kennel ended up butchering his I guess This was a few years ago.I think mostly he realized they were alot of...

wow thats awesome Those are good sized eggs! Congrats! I'm expecting like jelly bean sized ones at first so I wont be disappointed!

Our Rhode Island reds and ISA browns are all 20 weeks now and no eggs. I have two whos combs tripled in size and I'm hoping they start soon! Then 2 whos combs are getting there but I still have 3 who barley even have combs at all. I'm guessing like people they all develop at their own rates. I...

Ours tend to all sleep huddled up in a pile on the floor even before it got cold at night. But they do get in their boxes at some point because theres always butt imprints in them. My bf is sure they will lay in the boxes but I'm almost sure I'm going to find the first eggs on the floor!

LOL thank god mine arent the only ones LOL I thought maybe I had emotionally damaged them! They never peck at us though. Except to try to eat the fuzz trim on my boots or the strings form my hoodies LOL!
