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...

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!

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...

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...

ok we have 7 pullets who are 5 months old now. 3 Rhode island reds and 4 ISA browns. We feed them a mixture of pellets and cracked corn and also oyster shells. I am AMAZED by the things people tell us. Like since they free range all day we dont need to feed them anything. REALLY???? I...

It makes me Happy and I LOVE it but why do they follow me? Its so cute. I can just walk around the yard and they all just run after me. Our chickens don't really like to be touched a lot and hate being picked up so its funny to me that they love to be next to us. They are not afraid of us but...

I crocheted this adorable but horrible little guy. LOL I

Our 9 week old Rhode Island Red pullet, Buffalo, has a twisted toe. Im not sure how long its been that way but it doesnt seem to cause her pain. I can touch it and bend it and its sturdy, not floppy or anything. She runs fine and doesnt seem to have any issue at all. Just wondering if theres...

We got some small meal worms to see if the chicks would like them. They are about 7 weeks now. OMG they went nuts. They were small enough that they could easily and quickly swallow them. Just thoguht id check and make sure they were safe and healthy?

I posted pics back in May when they were just little chicks. The farm store we got them had teens working there who didnt seem to know a lot and they had a few breeds and these sweet girls are supposed to be ISA browns. They are getting a bit bigger then the rhode island reds we have of the...

Hi Im Dawn and I'm from northwest IN. In march we bought 3 Rhode Island red chicks and 3 buff orpington. We were smitten from day one. Our daughters 11 and 12 years old were in love as well. When they were 6 weeks old we put them outside in the awesome pen and coop my boyfriend built for...
