Haven't been on here in over a month. Busy with school and then just relaxing before I started back to school yesterday. Hope everyone is doing good. I have all 6 hens laying now and begins the wait on my barred rocks and easter eggers, sometime in October, I'm hoping.
I started up a new...
My RIRs have just started laying last week and they clear all the hay out the nesting boxes as well. I haven't had any broken eggs from them, but Ms. Piggy, my BA, has had cracked eggs everyday because she goes in there right after the RIRs are done. I just think her eggs are not as hard yet. I...
Mine have been laying in the late afternoon, but they don't free range. I want to start letting them out, but was waiting for them to all start laying first.
I finally got my first egg today! It was about time, all my girls are 29 weeks.

It's nice out this way. I'm about 45 minutes south from Camp Lejeune. Sounds like a really great opportunity. I had a midwife for my first delivery at Womack Army Hospital back in 1999. Good luck with finding a new vehicle, we had the same thing happen to us about three months ago.
They are in a run. They have never been out of there. I have fake eggs in the nesting boxes and they go up in the nesting boxes all the time. I have the run and coop secured so nothing can get in or out. I worry alot about predators, so we check for anything that might be loose or out of the...
I was thinking the same. I guess I'll just wait and see what happens. I can handle one roo, any more and I'll have to start getting rid of them. Thanks
Hi everyone! I can't believe my babies are 3 weeks old now. I do believe that I was sent at least one barred rock roo, even though I ordered all females. Here are some pictures...
