Closing up the coops tonight, I noticed a totally shellless egg on the ground (no membrane at all, just yolk and albumen). I looked up on the roost above to see who it came from and this was what I saw. I'm less concerned about the mucky black stuff--it is the pink area with the white...

Both rooster and hens are Bev Davis line (eggs are 6 or darker). Prefer pickup, but will meet you if you are in the vicinity. I'm happy to look into shipping, but I haven't determined packaging pricing yet.

We found one of our newly-hatched BCM chicks flat on its little back this afternoon. It couldn't change position and clearly had no energy at all. We happened to have some Sav-A-Chick on hand, so we mixed up a batch and have been giving it to the chick in drops. It seems to almost be arching...

Check this out: One of our chickens laid this yesterday. I found it in a nesting box in the middle of a broken egg shell. Not sure whether this was laid separately after the first egg had broken and this is an "egg" unto itself, or if this is what was inside the first egg. I think it...

We are looking for a home for our lovely Black Copper Maran rooster. He has officially been kicked out of the flock by our more dominant BCM roo and now spends his days alone under our deck. It's making us sad to see him alone and don't want him to live in fear/being bullied. (yes, I realize I'm...

Bev Davis was connecting me with someone looking for a BCM Wheaten Roo. How do I know if my roo is Wheaten? I've never heard of this before and my research hasn't given me the answer I need!

Any thoughts about what might have made THIS happen??

The chicken coop is about 100 feet from the house, but isn't wired for electricity. We want to hang a 100-watt bulb in there now that the days are starting to get shorter. We also would like to put a heating pad under the waterer once the temperatures REALLY drop to prevent it from freezing...

These chicks have lived in a crate in our living room under a light since we got them. Over the past few days, they have seemed absolutely fidgety and ready to move out. They seem like they are ready for the outdoors and the big coop, but I want to make sure I don't shock them by moving them...

They were laying like champs, 9-12 eggs/day, until the past few days. Today, I've only gotten two eggs! Could it be because of the change in daylight already?

I have a flock of 12 Rhode Island Reds and these girls are totally mean to my one Cochin and two Black Copper Marans. So much so, that I have to let the RIRs out of the pen in order for the others to be able to eat or drink. They all roost peaceably together at night, but daytime is for...

We have two cochin chicks that are just a month old today. One is fine, but the other suddenly stopped eating or moving. She just stands or sits with her eyes closed. She'll drink a little, but otherwise just stands/sits there asleep. She'll let us pick her up without a struggle and...

These tiny beauties are living in a large tub in my closet under 24-hour light. They are growing beautifully but need more space. I'm wondering if they can co-habitate with our Dutch bunny when they're big enough to leave the closet tub. The bunny has a large homemade hutch with a good run...

This is a pic of our two Black Copper Marans. They are eight and ten weeks old. The ten-week old is clearly a roo, but we're starting to think (hope) the younger is a hen. Is this pic clear enough to get any opinions?
