    3 8-Month-Old Laying Hens Need a Home, Central Florida

    I'm in Southwest Orlando, basically at Apopka-Vineland Rd and Old Winter Garden Rd, so just a hop and a skip from you, FloridaGirl. Here's some pics from the rogues' gallery: Cinnamon (Gold Star / Red Sex-Link) on the left is an egg laying machine who gives me a large, thick-shelled brown...

    3 8-Month-Old Laying Hens Need a Home, Central Florida

    Due to our unplanned relocation, my three pet ladies need a new home. They are a Gold Star, a Barred Rock and a Black Australorp. Great girls, but I can't take them with me back to Canada!

    5 month old hen possessive of eggs.... Everybody's eggs!

    At first, I thought Chocolate, a (suspected) Black Australorp might be getting broody, but her behavior doesn't seem to match. She's my lowest producer, laying around 4 a week. Her coop mate Pepper, BR, lays 5-6 a week and her other buddy Cinnamon, Red Comet, lays 7/week, often with a double...

    I know that the "A Really Big Egg" is closed, But I've got to lobby for Cinnamon's production this morning... It weighs 97g (3.42 oz) That's 37% over the jumbo size threshold. (At least I get to give her accolades on a front page forum!) Cinnamon:

    Post your FIRST EGG pics!

    (BA) Chocolate's very first egg at 21.5 wks is on the right. I was starting to call her Choco-LATE cuz it's been 2 weeks since her Red Star "sister " of the same age dropped her first egg. The egg on the left is from Cinnamon today for comparison. There was one heck of drawn out egg song from...

    Is my Black Sex Link ACTUALLY a Black Sex Link

    That's what I was thinking. She's a very mellow girl. But hefty.

    Is my Black Sex Link ACTUALLY a Black Sex Link

    Here she is at 3 days: She's the one on the left. The top of her head was solid black. And, today, at around 17 weeks: The farm supply store sold her as a sex link, but she has just gone through her pullet moult and is still totally black all over. She's bigger than her red sex link...

    Need to fertilize my trees

    My girls have free run of my back yard for 6+ hours a day. I need to fertilize my 10-odd fruit trees for the first time since we got the chickens. I normally apply the slo-release fertilizer around the base of the trees and water it in, but it usually takes while for the granules to disappear...

    I have a yard full of Juvenile Delinquents!

    LOL, they sure are having fun. I neglected to say that I have trimmed their flight feathers, but I trimmed equally on both wings. I've had experience with birds getting hurt if they are panicked with only 1 wing trimmed and every now and then my dog feels like playing "scatter the chickens!"...

    I have a yard full of Juvenile Delinquents!

    My three girls are running amok! A 20 wk old BR and 2 16 wk old sex links, they find at least one new way to cause trouble every day. So far they've discovered that they can jump up to sit on the fence, decided that inside my house is worth braving the German Shepherd Dog at the threshold...

    Questions about graduating chicks to an open run full-time

    Uhmmm, I'm figuring the two littles are around 3 weeks old and the BR around 6-7 weeks. The guy at the store REALLY wanted to be helpful, but really couldn't handle more than one concept at a time, so when we asked "how old are they?" he said 4-5 weeks, but that really only applied to Pepper.
