    I average 2 olive and 2 blue eggs each day. I only have 1 Cream Legbar pullet so that means one of the EE's is laying blue. Susan

    I have a few EE's laying olive eggs with a Crested Cream Legbar roo (they lay blue). I also have an EE laying blue.

    Is it okay for chickens to eat whole apples or should they be cored so they don't eat the seeds?

    I cleaned out all the poop and put in fresh shavings before I shut them in for the night. The heated water is outside here also. It was 5 here this morning (Saturday morning it was -5, and yesterday 54).

    Lots of condensation in the coop when I got home from work. Trying to air it out before I close them up for the "deep chill" tonight :-(

    2 roo's have some black. Putting on Vaseline and will go to LSB tomorrow and get bag balm. Our coop is a 9 x 9 shed we converted with 20+chickens to keep it warm. The roo's are acting fine but I read when it turns black it is gangrene?

    So on the topic of frostbite - what options are there if they get frostbite on their combs? I read if it turns black it needs to be surgically removed since it's gangrene. I don't know if any vets in CT do that?

    There was also a recent story in CT about a coop going up in flames because of a heater :-( I'd never use a clamp-on light in a coop - have had the chickens knock the lights securely attached to the ceiling (the outer covering has come off). Not sure what you are using. I was watching an...

    My roosters haven been fighting the cold this winter - they are cream leg bars with larger combs. I didn't think of that when I bought them locally. The breeds I bought originally have small combs and have been fine. Susan

    Has anyone here raised turkeys for meat? I'm contemplating it for next year.

    We added lights and went from a low of 8 eggs to up to 2 dozen a day! I think they're set to go on from 5:30-8:00am and then 4:00-9:30pm. Did you open that first egg yet? Sorta looks like a double-yoker. Susan

    I'm in Beacon Falls, though I'm originally from Easton and my parents are still there. Anyone else on here from Woodbridge other than Apdeb? On my way to work in New Haven I pass 2 houses in Woodbridge that have started selling eggs - not far from Apdeb's house. Susan

    Coyotes have been seen at the Seymour end of our road by a woman who also has chickens. We're also close to the Bethany line. I'm going to put the motion lights on tonight but I think eventually they would get used to them - the raccoons did. I read somewhere about that red laser light...
