I checked Hawk but didn't see Bobcat or Coyotes on the list - we actually don't know what took our chick - Robin was 10 months old, we always let them free range in our urban backyard, and yesterday, Sunday morning, few minutes after I let them out of the locked coop for the night, we heard this...

Very sad today as we lost a chick, all that's left are trail of her feathers... We actually heard frantic and alarming noises from the flock early in the morning, just a minute or two after I let them out, and when I came out to check, I only saw rippling's in the pool water and trail of water...

My girls started to lay right after New Year's Day, literally! They were hatched last May so I waited for a VERY long time for the first eggs, and we got 7 out of the 4 Hens on that first day of laying! Go figure! Our Buff Orpington found a special place to lay her eggs, so we can tell she has...

OK, we bought our 4 chicks from a local country store in May, and they were supposed to be 5 days old, and born on May 19th. After 7.5 months of no eggs, and not even certain at times if we have any rooster among them, and hearing egg songs since October on and off, I was ready to install a...

Our 4 hens are 6 months old too and no eggs.... maybe they were sterilized while hatching or before we got them (at 5 days old), or the food we fed them were bad and inhibit production of eggs... Our friend who got 5 hens from the same store at the same time, no eggs there either.... And we...

My hens (4, 2 RIR, 1 Australorp, and 1 BO) are over 6 months old and still no eggs. Comb/wattle been developed (the RIR and Australorp) for maybe 2 months now. They sang the egg song a couple of times a few weeks back but still nothing. The days are getting quite short here but the Country store...

Beautiful! How old are they? Ours 3 days to 6 months old and nothing still! They even sing the egg song like 10 days ago and then stopped that too! Now I start to suspect they fly over the fence to lay their eggs somewhere else?!!

My 4 hens are 5 days short of 6 months old, with red comb and face for over a month now but still no eggs! We let them out of the coop in the morning and lock them back in after dark. Yesterday, my daughter saw one of them fly onto the fence between our neighbor and our yard, so now I suspect...

Hi KingKongChicken and Marcy 54, Thank you both for your notes - it's always exciting to see someone else's opinion as we are so new to chickens :) I realized that I am way too obsessed with these chicks, waiting for their eggs, and trying to find out whether they are girls or boys.... so I...

And I shouldn't leave Robbin out - here she is, with Heaven photo-bombing in the front -

MB, Thanks for all the notes - here are some closer up pictures that I hope would be helpful - This is Red and here's Heaven Red from a different angle Closer up of the tail of Red Sunny

Here are some pictures from this morning, they are all 5 months and 9 days old. Red is the one that likes to chase down and try to peck on our feet as her way of greeting us, she is the RIR that has brighter comb/wattle. Robbin is the other red. Heaven is the black Australorp, and Sunny is the...

Thank you guys so much for all the notes! For some reason I began to feel "safe" that none of them were roos but maybe it's still early to be really sure. We got all four chicks of ours from a country store not far from us, and were told they were all 5 days old at the time. When they were...

I have not seen any squatting but surprise surprise, our buff orpington, who has still very small and pink wattle and comb, suddenly started to sing the egg song this afternoon! The whole gang (4 total) were just wondering together, picking on things in the yard to eat, and suddenly this one...

Maybe they are even sisters :) Hope ours will "catch up" soon

Ours, 4 total 1 BO, 1 Black Australorp, 2 RIR, were hatched on May 19th, we got them from a Country Store in Escondido, and the Australorp and one of the RIR have very red and well developed wattle and comb, but the BO and the other RIR are still not there yet... I also hope we will see our...

And you live close to us! We are in San Marcos. How old is your BO?

Congratulations! That's so exciting and the egg looks perfect! I wish we will get ours soon, too! Our BO is still far away from laying, I think, she is over 5 months old, but wattle and comb still small and pink... But two others (same age) might be close...

We got ours when they were 5 days old, and they sure have brought a lot of fun for us. We were out on vacation for 10 days, and the surprising behavior happened the day I got back, so maybe her way to say "never leave us behind" :) It's funny, the same RIR always chase and wants to peck on...

Our first flock, four girls (2 RIR, 1 Australorp, and 1 BO) were hatched on May 19th, so they are over 5 months old, with the Australorp and one of the RIR have bright red comb and wattles but still no eggs. The red RIR seems to be pretty aggressive toward people, or maybe just me. I am not sure...
