Jan. 24,2010
My Green Egger splash hen laid her first eggs this week!!
The eggs are a soft aqua color.
Nov. 2009 New hens! A Green Egger and a Serama
***Green Egger,named "JELLY" is a (Silky x Naked Neck) x (Amercauna),slate legs, black skin. Lays a mint green egg...
Thanks ya'll!
There's still much to learn about chickens, even though I've had them over a year.
New challenges constantly pop up.
Honestly, w/out BYC I don't know how I could keep the hens alive!
Oh great! Thanks to everyone for your responses.
One more crazy question.
A few times I was able to check for the eggs before dark.
I found the Serama hen sitting on the green egg the other hen had laid.
When I retrieve that egg it is extremely hot from the Serama's body heat.
I guess...
How do you change the time of day hens lay their eggs?
It's been around 100 degrees lately, and 2 of my 3 hens have started laying after 12pm.
Since those eggs are in the heat all day by the time I come home from work, I 've had to throw them out for 3 weeks now.
Note: Usually, they would...
Ok, I read the rules for Predators and Pests, and have corrected the title of the thread by adding "GRAPHIC".
That was my mistake, and I'm sorry.
I don't think I violated any other rules.
My intention was not to offend anyone nor to try to force anyone to...
I didn't know what kind of snake it was (nor did I care), when I killed it.
It's the same as the photos of Corn Snakes on the identification sites for my area.
At almost 3 ft. long (it's constricted quite a bit in the pics.),
it can still inflict a bite.
I understand their place in the...
Look at this Corn Snake I killed near an old pool pump.
I was pulling up a gigantic dandelion when I saw it's tail move. I ran and got a shovel and killed it. I have never killed a snake this big before... totally gross. I fed it to the chickens.
Normally, when I pull dandelions I am careful...
I love this idea.
My 4 hens are in 2 seperate coops/runs, so I need a much smaller version.
What could I use that's smaller than the rain barrel?
Also, how is that pvc pipe attached to the barrel?
How is that nipple attached to the pipe?
THANKS!
Awesome coop.
I like the green, maybe a light green w/ barn red & white trim.

I've always loved this coop on the BYC medium page.
Bill makes great playhouses, and you can have him make them larger to suit your needs.
He delivers too!
Much cheaper than buying a "coop".
Check my page to see my playhouse.

I bought one and put it in the little coop. It was frozen in the morning.
It was $40 at Petsmart (had about 5 of them, covered w/ dust). Petsmart refunded my money, no problem.
