    Starlight Green Egger

    Cute chick! Yes, 2 breeds are mixed to make the green egg layer. Do you only have this one chick? Chickens are flock animals and do best in at least a set of 2.

    Experiences With Hoop Coops?

    I use a static hoop coop for my hens. My main concerns are to keep preditors out, keep the girls dry, and good ventilation. Here is the way mine is built: There is about 18 inches of chicken wire attached to the bottom wood frame & buried deep in the ground. The rounded part (hoop) is covered...

    Remember to Stay Kind.

    Thank you for the reminder 👍♥️ We have all most likely experienced our writing misinterpreted as well. Now I do my best to re-read what I have written, from the recievers end, and how I would perceive it in that position, before posting. Helps alot considering I have a very odd sense of humor.🤪

    Chicken Moving Egg from Nesting Box?

    Your nest box setup is cute! I have hens that want a dark covered nest to lay in. My nests are big full cube squares with a small hole cut on one side of front panel and a small " curtain" over opening. The top lifts for collecting eggs. Some times 4 girls will be in one box laying eggs...

    Minimum number of hens?

    The good thing about chicken math....it can be manipulated to accommodate your needs. So its just me & hubby and we own 16. C=Px8 BUT all my chickens are named which makes them family pets and NOT livestock. SO C=Px0 So technically we dont have any chickens! Which is perfect because our town...

    Winter molt???

    Thank you so much for calming my anxiety! I had a feeling she was going into a molt. Her feathers felt stiff, drab & ragged while the other girls feathers are super soft & shiny. I thought either a molt or sickness coming on. So glad it is just molt!
