    I see people post about being self sufficient...

    Quote: My chickens could free range hundreds up to thousands of acres if they wanted to. All of the properties around us back up to national forest land. But, they rarely go beyond 300 feet from the house. they have pasture land, horse and cow poop, hay and grain scraps from livestock feeders...

    insect eggs on eggs?

    Quote: And yes, they rubbed off very easily!! I should have taken a picture but I didn't want my DH to see it cause he's freaky about anything on or in his food. He saw worms in the brocolli plants and won't touch it now and he loved it before.

    insect eggs on eggs?

    Quote: Nope, they weren't extra calcium!! It was actually very tiny round cysts all laid smoothly side by side in a clump size of a quarter.

    insect eggs on eggs?

    A thought just hit me, worms wouldn't (couldn't ) lay egg cysts on eggs before they pass out of their body? I've never wormed my flock.

    insect eggs on eggs?

    Today I found a large patch of insect "eggs" on one of my eggs. I'm confused as to what they would be. The temps are 10 to 15 degrees, so it's not flies, but I do have house sparrows flying in and out of the hen house. Please don't tell me it is mites or lice cysts on the egg.

    cross between BO/BA

    I have some gorgeous chicks that were hatched Nov. 14th. Now help me figure if I have a "breed". I have a BA rooster, a BO rooster, and BA and BO hens. I know they crossed and some of the chicks have the most beautiful coloring to their feathers. Are they considered a sex-link?

    Yes, it does make you and the flock less stressed when the extra roos are gone, in whichever manner they go.

    What are some of the LEAST aggressive breeds of roosters???

    I have a 19 month old BA and he's great!! And a 10 month old BO that is learning to become a great roo also. They get along together very well and are very respectful to me.

    Bored chickens

    Hang a head of lettuce for them to peck at. I give mine a bat of hay either in or outside (depending on weather) for them to dig and eat through. They enjoy that.

    newly hatched chicks

    Thanks! I'm sure the 2 yellow chicks are BO purebreds. And several of the Black astralorps are easy to see. However, there are 3 that are crossbred, they have chipmunk coloring on their faces. (And please don't tell me that my little old english bantam rooster is the daddy!) But i noticed on...
