Nope the other is definitely a hen, and there is no way the eggs are hiding. They stay in their coop and run always because of the hawks, I can't let them have free range after what happened to my other ones. They get egg layer and scratch feeds.

Ok first question.... After a year of not having chickens (my old flock of 3 was killed by predators) I decided last spring to get a couple more pullets. I ended up getting two 12 week old (or so I was told) hens, one silver laced wyondotte and one ameraucana. I was told they would start...

My buff orps that I got just had started laying when I bought them and they were about 7 mos old. Give it some more time, I'm sure it will be soon

Absolutely awesome..the coop and the chickens

I am one who will keep my hens until they pass on. There is no way that I could bring myself to eat my pets. I have 5 children and we eat a lot of chicken but my pets will never be at the dinner table. I do understand how others can do it, but I just don't have it in me. I'd much rather eat...

That must have been a real sight to see..I'm glad it found it's way out!

Some more.. Chester, Petey, Clucky, Titus

Poor thing! I could hardly bare to look at those pictures. If you're sure it was the Roo, I'd find him a new home. I hope she heals quickly.

Doolittle, Dudley, Nugget, Roo-dy, Doodle ...that's all I got so far

I don't have a roo, but I just got 3 buff orpington pullets-6 mos old and they are fantastic. They are so loveable and really like people. They come over to me and turn their heads like they are really listening to what I'm saying, it's so funny.

Oh and Lexus laid me an egg today. I caught her in the act She was the only one. I'm wondering if maybe she was the one who didn't lay one yesterday? Should I expect them to lay every other day or do Orps usually lay every day?

Quote: Thanks Jan! I appreciate you putting up with all my questions..chicken queen..lol.

Quote: Just to see what they would be labeled if they were bought in the store..i.e. medium, large etc. It's pretty much just for my curiousity, which is why I asked if they would get bigger as my girls got older. I've seen some whoppers on here.

That is one wacky egg..lol.

No, not yet. I just took a few quick ones. We've had some really crappy weather. Lots and lots of rain so as soon as the rain stops, I'll be snapping away

We actually got another one!!! The 2nd one is 1.7 oz. Will the eggs get bigger the older they get (since they just started laying) or will they always lay medium eggs?

I bought 3- 6 month old buff orpington pullets yesterday and didn't expect an egg since I figured they'd be stressed from the move...but I got 1 egg today!!!! I don't know who layed it but here it is. A 1.8 oz medium egg And here are my 3 little girls Mercedes Lexus and Audi: Lexus and...

Yaaaaaa! I bought my first 3 pullets yesterday, who I was told were laying, so I'm patiently waiting to see our first egg at my home

I have a quarter horse, I think my dh would die if I told him I wanted to buy a Friesian. They are GORGEOUS horses! You must be so excited. I can't wait to see pictures. My aunt and uncle bought a Friesian in utero, and Wraven is almost 1 yr now and getting ready to go to training. Such a...

They are beautiful!!!
