We have two hens that lay "brown" eggs. Keep in mind, we are novice chicken owners in Sacramento, CA ... Any idea which hen is laying the speckled eggs?? I assume it's Peach but can't confirm.
"Stella" (7 months old when pic was taken
"Stella" (6 1/2 months old when pic was taken) our Barred Rock hen is really freindly. As soon as I walk outside she comes running as fast as she can and sits down next to me waiting for her scratch..
Thank You. Since I am a "rookie" at raising chickens.. I have a question you might be able to answer. Sacramento winters are generally mild but this year we have had a few nights dip to 33 + or - degrees. Should I be warming the coop or are my “children” fine?
Quick introduction: About a year ago City of Sacramento approved residents to own up to 3 chickens (no roosters) within city limits. So, with my two sons (8 & 13) we went down to the local feed store and picked up 2 day old Petunia, Stella & Peach. Eight months later, we have eggs!
