I posted not long ago about how our BO, Sassafras, started squatting. Well we visited the coop to find a present!! A small, yet perfect little brown egg. The first gift given to us rewarding us for all our hard work keeping our lovelies happy and healthy. Here is our proud hen and her "labor of...

We have 3 girls, and they are all around 20 weeks. Our Buff Orpington is the oldest, and yesterday she squatted for the first time for daddy!! She did it again today when I got to see it :) It really is an exciting and fantastic experience for a novice chicken family. We are curious now...

I was going to post this as well. If you choose to wash your eggs causing them to lose the bloom, then all you have to do is rub them in mineral oil and they will last on your counter or in dry storage for up to 9 months! Just remember to date the cartons. We haven't decided yet what we are...

This definitely helps, thank you! We will keep an eye on her as she matures. She may just end up being a small hen. We can't come to any conclusions just yet, she isn't even laying yet. Thank you so much for the picture! Sin City Chicks

Great pics! Is the second one a RIR? Out of curiosity, how old is she and do you know how much she weighs? I'm working on trying to figure out if my RIR girl is banty or not. Still new to all of this, lol. Sin City Chicks

We are thinking so too. Less than a pound at 4 months old, we are finding it difficult to believe she will blow up to 5 or 6 pounds when she is fully grown. We will know better next time when we are ready to build on our flock. Not that we don't love our girls with all our hearts, we were just...

Sassy, the BO, is quite a bit bigger than the other girls, but BO's are a slightly bigger breed with fluffy feathers anyway. But you can see that June Bug, my Australorp, is bigger than Wyoma, my RIR. Sorry about the pic, I don't have any of them standing on the ground because I can't seem to...

She is on my shoulder It just seems to me that at 4 months she should maybe be bigger? More than a pound, at least. Especially if she is going to start laying in a month or so...

Is there any way to tell if my 16 week old RIR is a bantam? I am new to chickens, so I only know what I have read and researched. From what I know, at full maturity she is supposed to weigh like 6 pounds. She doesn't even weigh a pound yet, and she is noticeably lighter than my Australorp...

Hey Ladies! I wish I could have made the meeting, but as I mentioned before, I am currently not working (last prospect didn't work out, boo) and I have been really busy with job hunting and interviews, as well as keeping my house, kids, and girls all in order. Once I get going with a new job...
