Regarding the meeting on Monday June 11, 2012 and City Council threatening to ban all chickens if media gets involved. I'm not sure who told you this, but they are misguided. Media has been involved. In fact, there is an article in this week's local paper, the Salem Times Register, about it...

This has been a rough year for our hens. First, in the Spring, we thought one of them was going broody. All the others were fine, but she just wasn't & acted broody but refused to sit on eggs. She just wanted to sit. Then, we had a REALLY hot Summer. First we lost the "broody" (not broody)...

I just got done submitting an email to them via whitehouse.gov as well. I applauded them for the things they have done, and told them that I hoped these things would continue. I mentioned some of the positive things that could be accomplished by keeping a small flock of chickens at the White...

YES!! There it is, THANK YOU!!! Shannon, our soon-to-be 5 year old, is the one holding it. He has been especially excited about the arrival of the blue eggs, as has his little brother. Congrats on your new egg as well!:clap

Since I can't figure out how to add a photo onto here , just going to give y'all a link: http://flickr.com/photos/funkymamataney/3154115083/in/set-72157606753521348/ ~On 12/29 we got our first blue egg!! And here is a link for my blog that has a photo of our very first egg (from LadyBird, our...

We don't have a light in our coop either. Our gals are still in the beginning stages of egg laying (in just the last 4 days we've gone from 1 out of 6 laying to now 3!!!). Our reason for not adding light only has to do with that it isn't practical for us. Our coop is only about 4' tall or...

Congrats!! That's AWESOME!!!

Congrats on your first egg!! There really isn't anything as exciting as spotting that first one is their? I think our chickens must be in cahoots with yours. We've had one (a Buff Orpington) of our 6 laying for a couple months now. Went out on Christmas Eve to find that our Dark Brahma...

Thank you both for your responses. The weather here is finally beginning to dry up some, so I will give her a bit longer to see if that helps clear up her rear. If not I guess we'll try washing and if that fails, trimming. She is one of the birds laying though, I figured that much for...

We've been having lots of rain here lately in SW VA, without things getting a chance to really dry out on days without rain. (I'm really bummed we're not getting any snow, but that's another rant ) My husband noticed that our Dark Brahma's rear end had a nice coating of poo on it. It looked...

This is by far the coolest thread. Just happened to stumble upon it as well and am now DYING to see more pics of it!!! KUDOS!!

Our biddies all sleep in the nest boxes as well. They always have. We just go out there in the morning and make sure the boxes aren't covered in poo. We only have one gal laying (though 3 of our non-laying hens are now 8 months old, and the other two are 6 months old), so, so far at least...

We live in Southwest VA where it does get cold in the winter but can also be really mild. The days lately, for example, have been in the mid 60's with nights falling into the 40's. We originally planned our chicken tractor to be able to be moved from the coop to various spots in the yard in the...

Ok, sorry for the double question here, but I have three 7 month old biddies who haven't decided to start laying yet. Two are Partridge Cochins, one is a Dark Brahma. Is this normal?? Also, my one layer, a Buff Orpington of the same age hasn't laid in almost a week where she was laying almost...
