    We got our first egg today... Happy Easter!!!!

Within the past week she got super vocal (way more than she already was) and anytime they were in the yard roaming she never left my side. Today for a few hours she was in and out of the nest all day squawking and...

    We got our first egg today... Happy Easter!!!!

    So after about 30 mins of "Tik" our Barred Rock, squawking and clucking, digging around in the nest box, we got our very first ever egg around 2:30pm'ish. Now the other five girls better start laying soon ;-) It was really amazing though, as Tik was in the nest making all that noise and...

    Help!! Americana or EE... Or other possibility

    So we got her based soley on the fact my wife like that she looked "hawk"ish. So no feelings will get hurt. I've read tons of Americana and EE threads and there's definitely some passion among owners. We were told she is an Americana, but after reading here and 1000 pics I can determine for...

    Expansion time/ Remodel. Check out my thoughts...

    So currently or 6 girls are in a 300sqft 7ft tall, amazingly built ( if I do say so myself), covered run with a coop that sits off the ground 2ft inside the run. Although the coop really doesn't take up floor space since its off the ground it feels tight when I'm in there with my girls, as they...

    Is this Blue Red Laced Wyanndotte M/F :-/

    This is horrible news, that I was 80% sure I already knew and was kinda hoping mine was an exception, ha. Guess not, and now he has to go back to the farm to make more little backyard chickens, and swapped for a hen. We just went through this with a Delaware we had like 3 wks ago, ugh. Seriously...

    Is this Blue Red Laced Wyanndotte M/F :-/

    Is she a boy or girl, your thoughts ???? So she's 17wks and she just looks slightly different then our other 4 Wyanndottes. Just not as fluffy, same height, just slightly narrower and slightly different (possibly) feathers... She hasn't shown any signs at all that she is remotely interested in...

    Middle of Iowa, will have Chickens soon

    I can not get my 2 1/2yo away from our hens for nothing. She's in the coop with them, chases them up the yard, they chase her back down the yard. She feeds them anything she can get her hands on, and helps turn over pavers and walkway stones for them to feast on the bugs hiding under them. When...
