    How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

    We've been getting six (from six hens) on most days, and got six today. We got five yesterday, with the one that didn't lay yesterday producing the first egg of the day.

    Wondering what breeds I have

    ^^^ I see. Does sound striking. Stevie has considerably more than Jenny. His underside is darker too.

    Wondering what breeds I have

    Leakage? The other colors mixed in? Whatever their origins, I am happy with the mix. They are friendly and curious. Plus, the eggs are delicious. The black chickens have gray legs, all the others are yellow.

    Wondering what breeds I have

    Hello everyone. It's been a fantastic journey thus far, with just a few hiccups along the way. A little background. I acquired ten chicks from a friend who incubated the eggs for her students with Autism (several are non-verbal, and none get to go to a regular ed science class) at two and a half...

    3 month old hen crowing???

    You could upload it to youtube and copy a link here. Or click the film strip above between the image and smily face icons and "insert video." More and more I believe everyone is correct, that "Jenny" is a rooster. Do rooster cluck? S/he is the only one making any real noise at the moment...

    3 month old hen crowing???

    Also, it's not a regular crow, kind of gurgling and softer/lower in volume.

    3 month old hen crowing???

    Okay, my chicks will be three months old in a couple days, and my Alfa hen Jenny has started crowing. I know that hens often crow too, but is this normal? There are 8 others in the run, including Bert our rooster ( and Frank on his own because they would have killed him), so it's not because...

    Injured (pecked and picked on) chick, and a question about correcting twisted toes...

    They are on 20% starter, organic, their second bag after the medicated starter they had originally. I had been giving them mealworms too, but I will stop that, at least for a while. They have enough space, and are pecking/scratching at the ground, digging holes and laying/taking dirt baths. They...

    Injured (pecked and picked on) chick, and a question about correcting twisted toes...

    Hello, seems nine of the chicks have ganged up on one of them, removed the feathers from his saddle and from parts of his sides, drew blood from tail feathers too. About 90% sure he is a rooster, there five weeks and two days old now, so it's still hard to tell. His hackle feathers are pointed...

    Thanks. Not my grass in the last pic though, it's Puddin Fluff's. The chick in the upper right corner looks just like my Cleo did a couple of weeks ago. We let our token Las Vegas lawn die off years ago. Have raised beds for veggies now.

    BTW Puddin Fluff, Cleo looked exactly like the chicks in your pic (upper right side, looks like they have eyeliner on) when she was a week old.

    New guy from Las Vegas

    Thanks for the warm welcome. I'm hoping only the two are roosters. Should know more in a few weeks. They are a lot of fun, and super friendly. Waddles, got it. The top portion is a comb though, right? Off to build a feeder and collect the parts I need for the waterer. The water nipples are...

    New guy from Las Vegas

    I'm Robert, and as stated in the title, I'm the new guy from Las Vegas. I'm a middle school social studies teacher, geek and general animal lover. My chicks are a little over four weeks old, growing like, well, chicks I imagine. I've had them for two weeks. A friend and coworker incubated...
