Here's my funky egg for today Not sure which one of my girls layed it, but possibly one of my Golden Seabrights. Who knows, lol.

gryeyes - thank you for the pic uploading instructions - I edited my last post to include the photos

Ok, so after reading this thread a while back, I thought it might be neat to try hatching some grocery store eggs. I have never hatched baby chicks nor have I even held a baby chick in my hands. I aquired my hens about 1-1/2 years ago after they were already laying. My Wheaten Old English...

If you don't like to shop there don't shop there - if you do like to shop there - then continue shopping there. Or if you're like my man - had a union job and refused to shop at the "Dreadful WallyWorld" for moral reasons - then his hours get cut........pay gets cut........new baby needs...

All of them but #6 looks like my Australorp. Just my two cents

she could have some game hen in her. Her back end looks a little bit like the butt end of my Wheaton Old English Game Hen. I don't think your girls is a full game hen - I don't think - not that I'm an expert or anything. Those are some really long legs, hahaha You might have to wait until...

I am always concerned about my cat getting my 4 hens when they free-range. I let the hens out every evening for about an hour and I just let them put themselves to bed at dusk. My cat is an older girl and is starting to show signs of slowing down, but she still brings me presents like mice...

Hello there - from Citrus Heights (Sacramento County). I just found this thread I am fortunate enough to live on a little over 12,000 sq/ft so I qualify on that end - but there is no way in He!! I am paying $4,500 for a stupid permit. That kinda defeats the purpose of having a few hens for...

It's the weirdest thing. I have tomato horn worms every stinkin' year. This is the first year I've had chickens - and I have not seen one single horn worm on any of my 10 tomato plants. The girls don't have access to my veggies so it can't be that they are getting the worms before I see them...

Oh - yes - and welcome to BYC - I am new to all this, but it has quickly become addicting - I think I check this site out more than Facebook, hehe.

I have three hens in the city. All I do is is clean out the poop from the coop every few days along with a little bit of the pine shavings with it. I just put it in my compost pile. I have an ongoing compost pile of yard wast and kitchen scraps. If you didn't want to go that route, I'm sure...

Ok, Ok - I'm going to be that one person that spoils the rain hate fest Here in Sacramento, CA we have had nice mild weather for while now. This is the first year in quite a few that we have actually had a Spring. Normally we go from Winter straight into Summer. Not this year. My garden is...

It makes me sad to know that I probably caused all of this by taking her friends away. The only reason I did was because they were given to me for free and the owner had no idea how old they were for sure or what they were or even if they were laying. I chose to give back the two that weren't...

I have a 1 year old bantam laying hen "Rosemary" that I recently got about a month ago. She came with two of her little pullet friends that she had bonded with and Rosemary was definitely at the top of the pecking order. I introduced two new (big) RIR hens to the flock, which the three bantams...

I too am worried about letting my hens out. They are already laying, though I've only had them about a month (they are about 9 months and 1 is over a year). I have a completely fenced yard but I keep them in a tractor pen because I'm afraid they will fly out and into the lovely trees in the...

After watching the PBS special the other night - I was wondering about the exact same thing. I made my kids watch it too and they were appalled at the living conditions of the battery hens and the way that the hour old chicks are treated. They now understand my obsession about raising our own...

That is awesome!! Way to go!!

I very sorry that you had to go through this. This is the firt time I have posted on this site. I am totally new to the whole chicken thing and I had no idea about MG and what it can do. I thank you for making this video so that newbies like me learn a good lesson early on, and again, I am...
