I have 4 hens and 1 rooster. My family lives in the city with a nice sized backyard. I have a cute little coop and let my little friends out to run the yard every day. I really enjoy my chickens. The problem is that my husband doesn't like the "landmines" all over the lawn and patio. Moreover...

Oh and they run free in the backyard eating bugs and plants all day too.

I have 4 hens that have been laying for about a month. I feed them layer chicken crumble, chicken scratch, and oyster shells. Occasionally I give them millworm as a treat. My husband made breakfast this morning and complained that he thought our eggs taste like dirt. Is it that because they are...

Any idea who layed the darkest egg?

Who layed the white egg? All my girls are finally now laying. I got four eggs today-- 3 brown and 1 white. Who layed the white one? I've looked up the breeds that everyone believes I have, but they should all be brown egg layers!!!

I love my babies!

I went back and bought three more!! This time I know I got two silkies and one more that looks like a lighter, smaller version of my redish/brown one. They're all getting wing feathers (except my silkies) and their colors are so pretty!!!

They are a day or two old. All I know is they have fuzzy legs, 4 toes and are too cute. Do you know what kind of bantams I have?
