Reading the description from My Pet Chicken, it sounds like bantam EEs lay green, blue, etc. egg colors just like their standard counterparts. Today I was checking out the new chicks at the feed store, and the employee told me Easter Egger bantams lay white eggs. He said lots of people say...

I already know what I have to do, she's not moving much at all, but it's a first for me. Sick to my stomach. My poor girl. And now I'm second guessing myself. She's up and walking a little, alert. Nothing appears broken when she walks, so I suppose it is just a question of internal damage. It...

My about 8-9 month probably old mixed breed hen has only missed 1 day since she started laying a few months back. Suddenly she hasn't laid for 4 days straight. I haven't noticed her losing any feathers, though the 3 younger hens (who haven't started laying yet, 3 months old) are losing feathers...

I have a couple hens (I'm pretty sure, the 2 roosters have already met the processor) and I'm wondering what breed they are? The old farmer sold them to me as a Buff Orpington and an Isa Brown, but he also sold me a Dom that ended up being a mixed breed roo. :) Appreciate any help! Tell me if I...

Since I'm here, may as well post some pics of my RIR too. Also about 6 weeks old. I understand it may be too early to tell, she just seems to have a more defined comb than my Orpington or Sex Link. Also, her comb is slightly pinker. Thanks!

Because I'm really getting worried that she is a he. She's about 6 weeks old. I also have an RIR I'm unsure on, but Tiana is the one that I've been undecided on from the beginning. What do you think? Hen or little roo? Dominique or something else?

This little Dominique is making me nervous. She is very assertive, runs out to check on problems when the other 3 hide, seems to be a leader, etc. I'm hoping she is just a strong willed hen, but I figured it was worth posting. I've seen some posts about sexing Doms by their head spot, but she...

Today is day two of our lovely itty bitties being home, and I have a couple questions. They peck at my rings a LOT. I don't wear a ton of them, just 2 silver bands, but they are definitely chick magnets. One of them in particular (a Dominique) goes after my hand as soon as I reach into the...

Hi everyone, My name is Rebecca. I have actually been lurking on these forums and reading this valuable website for years, but have never registered and posted before now, because I didn't have any hope of getting chickens. Now that my husband and I are buying our first house soon, we've...

Hello all. I found a few threads about PC laws in the archives, but I'm still awfully confused. My husband and I are house-hunting in Bay County right now, and don't want to buy a place that won't allow us to have a few chickens (and preferably hogs, but that is more flexible). We don't want...
