Thank you. I ended up smashing 4 eggs and they were all rotten. I have a 5th I suspect might also be. I did not know my chicken was sitting on these eggs for the first week or so. There are other eggs in there with blood vessels formed. I even saw something move around! How cool. I can not...

So while I am very excited to be experiencing my first broody hen situation, I have no idea what I am looking for when it comes to bad eggs. I did not even realize my hen was sitting on eggs for a few days so I do not know how far along they are. There are about 10 eggs at various stages of...

Hamburgs are so pretty but it says they are flighty.

Yes I do plan to get EE's. I want to have a rainbow of colors in my egg cartons. Their personalities are friendly? I am also thinking about getting some Sussex.

Oh I am looking through the breed list and this is very helpful with what people think of them. Still would love your opinions on your favorites though.

I have had chickens for about a year now and am looking to expand into other breeds. At first my main objective was just for eggs. But boy, they have scratched their feathery little selves into my heart and I really appreciate them now. My mutt production breeds and Rhode Island Reds are great...

We went ahead and put it in. It's not very large and there are trees above it to shade it some. I figure if they are too hot in the summer they can just go outside and lay in the shade. I will post pics soon of how mine looks.

Good idea or not to put a sunroof on my chicken coop? My husband is working on it today and asked me if he should put a sun roof on it? What do you think? It's plexiglass 1' x 2' Thanks

So I have wanted chickens for years. After talking my husband into it, he told me he would build me one. Well, life gets in the way sometimes and we either never had the time or the money. So I ended up buying this little prefabricated coop along with three hens: Let me just say that...

Hi fellow hunters :) I love to hunt too. My husband is more into archery and I am more into rifle but now I have a crossbow so I go archery a few times a year (I can NOT pull back a compound....don't get me started). So far this year, no luck. Archery ends in a few weeks and then rifle will...

"Did you hear something?" "whawuzzzat?" Just shake it off Big Mama... "Echooooooo..." The chickens watch as my dog, Dozer, freaks out.... Thanks for looking at my pictures! I look forward to yours :)

Mine als did not like bell pepper... Or BOSS. I have seen people rave about black oil sunflower seeds so I went out to get some. They just look at it and move on. What??? Lol. Sometimes I make them scrambled eggs. I know, I spoil them. I put flax seed and crushed egg shell in the egg. They LOVE...

Hi! I'm pretty new too (and also from PA) I love that your daughter names the chickens after xmen!!! Sorry to hear a fox got one of your birds. I just got three red stars and I'm already attached...they are very much my pets as of right now.

I accidentily seen one of my chickens lay too! Everyday around the same time they lay and I go to let them out. (I leave them in the coop until they lay). Well, I went to check on them and two of them were in the nest box. One of them (Popcorn) squawked at me! What I am finding out is that...

Wow that is a huge egg! So if you feed them oats to promote larger eggs, is it because of the higher protein intake?

Hi everyone. New to this site and new to chickens. I am about an hour north of Pittsburgh. I am looking for breeders of black copper marans, easter eggers, and Ameruacanas (spelled wrong, sorry...on my phone) I would love to buy chicks (or started pullots) from someone local if possible...

Hi. I just got a coop with three chickens on Saturday and I love them already! I am trying to not be an overprotective mama and let them free range all by themselves (I have been acting as chicken security the last couple of days with supervised free ranging times due to the hawks I have...
