By the way, this is my fourth set of six chickens in the last five years and I have never had a double yolk egg from any of those previous chickens, even when they were pullets.

I have a question for seasoned chicken farmers. I am just a hobby farmer because I have a tractor chicken coop and I can only have up to six chickens at a time, which is fine with me. I have six chickens right now and four of them are just starting to lay. They are about 20 weeks old so they are...

Three years ago I was waiting as you, and the first breed to lay was my Golden Sexlink at 20 weeks old. And she lays the largest egg eventually of all my chicken breeds. Young pullets lay smaller eggs than full grown. Therefore, when I needed new girls in March, I got two baby Golden Sexlinks...

Some breeds don't lay until later. Be patient and you will see eggs. With that many chickens, I don't know how you will know who layed what.

My Barred Rock lays a beautiful light brown egg. My Golden Sexlink lays a brown speckled egg. My Rhode Island Red lays a brown egg, and my Ameraucana lays a light light green/grey egg.

Today I noticed that when my EE was laying an egg she was cackling and our one and only rooster was cackling along with her. Why does the rooster join in her song?

Here is a picture of the kind of eggs I get most days. The white looking one is actually slightly green and is from Stella, my Ameraucana; the light brown is from Smoky, our Bardrock; the brown speckled one (top left) is from Lulu, our Golden Sexlink; and finally, the other brown one is from...

Thank you so much for the "squat" clue. I'm a first-time chicken owner and my Americauna started to squat when I would reach for her and I thought she wanted me to pet her (which I did). She had her first egg at 20 weeks old and has been giving us one every other day now. We are at egg 6. Do...

I have an 18 week old Barred Rock that hasn't laid anything yet. How old was yours when she laid her first egg?

Bogtown Chick: Thanks for all your information. My chicks are now 18 and 15 weeks old. One of the 15 week old chicks is a Golden Sexlink and I read on this website that they can lay their first egg at 17 weeks. So I'm excitedly awaiting that first egg and I check the egg box every morning...

Do Golden Sexlink chicks lay at 17 weeks? I thought they didn't lay until they were six or seven months.

I am a new chicken owner and the four chicks I have are all pets. I have two chicks that are about 8 weeks old and two that are about 5 weeks old. I have had them all in the garage since they were babies (2 days and 2 weeks old) in two separate cages due to their age difference which were...

I'm a brand new chicken owner. I have two babies that are 5 weeks old and two that are 2 weeks old. I keep both groups in separate cages in my garage and keep the temperature about 80. The youngest ones are under the bruder light. They are next to each other for two weeks now and I think...
