Quote: well, we have red stars, dominiques, delawares and Austrolorps so it was one of them and yes, it was a very tasty double yolker

Quote: this is a very cool idea. I'll keep it in mind for the next gollywhopper!

Quote: I meant to say thats looks like the size of my one of my bantam chickens. Lord if they ever laid something that big I'd pass out i figured that's what you meant! there was nothing different about the shell it was just massive and 2 full sized yolks. It's delicious

Quote: I havent cracked it open yet, but I am hungry. I'm going to go make an omelet and report back double yolker!

HILARIOUS!

found this in the nests this morning here it is next to an average sized egg My jaw dropped open when I saw it but all the girls are just dandy (no one is walking sideways or anything LOL). We get a big egg here and there but never THIS BIG

Quote: I thought you had it but the pic of the campine chicks is much different then what these looked like. here's an above shot from the day we found them

also, they are NOISY! i swear these three make more racket then when we had 17 chicks in the house.

Quote: i'm not sure, they seem smaller then our hens were at this stage but our hens are all heavy breeds so I'm not sure how to judge that.. plus I really dont know how old these are

A few weeks ago someone dumped baby chicks in our yard. 3 managed to survive and now I'm wondering what kind of chicks they are This is Sunny i *think* Sunny is a girl. the other 2 are very protective of Sunny and Sunny is a very shy chick. Sunny is also more on the "frail" side when...

thanks everyone. I got some great advice today from ntvheart on twitter. She recommended putting a stuffed animal in with them. The loudest chick, while still loud, is not crying as much and has snuggled up under the ear of the dog beanie baby:lol:

some pics from today these four are SO LOUD> Way louder then my other chicks were at this age. I only managed to get a few broken up hours of sleep. The incessant peeping kept me up! All four fared well. i went out today to hunt around again for the 5th but I'm thinking it's gone

the 3 on the right are Dom eggs, the other three are either red star, Delaware or Australorp, I havent sleuthed that out for sure yet

here are my Dominique eggs
