I was hoping it was the short days and nothing else. My 2 birds have never crowed, so I hope that Muffin (the EE) is not a roo. My laying hen, Moonpie, is dominant between the two. Moonpie started her laying rt before the day light savings changed over, and she has been a consistent layer. But...
I'm going to join this thread too- I got 2 chicks from a teacher who hatched them in her room, very tame girls... One turned out to be a Blk Australorp and the other looks like a EEgger. Both were hatched on May 21st this year. The Australorp has been laying for 2 months now. We steadily get 6...

I want to make sure they are growing ok - they seem to...
Hi, I am from San Diego, CA. They just revamped our chicken laws and we can now have some inside city limits!
Another teacher at my school hatched 7 eggs from the Farmer's Market chicken guy, and I offered to take 2. Brave, right?
I have very small yard so, I thought I'd start small and see how...
