A BIG THANK YOU for all your help........ I won't know if my last Chicken is a Welsummer or partridge rock until she lays eggs. Though looking at all the information and other pictures she is very close to those two breeds.
spending a lot of time on the internet trying to find out gender and breed........
We call her La Beck and she is the one so far giving us eggs, July 13 one egg every other day this week an egg everyday. She is supper friendly and if I'm sitting outside she wants to be by my side. It makes it...
I'm still new at this.........and I have been getting a lot of advice which I'm not sure is right from friends and neighbors. One friend told me that my chickens won't lay the first year and if I do get one egg around Sept.- Oct. months. Then I have a neighbor who is also new at BYC raising plus...
So here is Stage 2 of the Chicken Coop: A lot of the materials my boyfriend is using are leftovers from jobs sites that would be tossed in the trash. Since we only have 3 chickens and I want the coop portable enough to move around the yard, however Robert is having a hard time trying to make it...
Since I picked up three little chicken pullets up last week, my boyfriend has all kinds of ideas swirling around his head in making the chicken coop. So far all the plans he found on the internet are for small coops, which he has to rethink his plans now. We both have been doing a lot of...

So Big R has pullets but they can't guaranty gender or breed of the chicks. If I go that route how can I tell the gender or breed on them, because I live in the city limits and I can't have a rooster. I thought to be 100% sure of what I was getting was to drive up to Denver to a chicken...
Thank you.....all as for the pictures may be one day it might be turned into a coop, however that is what my boyfriend built me a shed for all my junk to go in. Though my boyfriend will be building my chicken coop for me, and I'll know it will be built to last.
Thank you all for all the good information.
I have been doing a lot of reading about chickens even on top of my homework from College too. I was so glad to come across this site and wonderful people taking time to help me. Just looking for good egg layers that are friendly around my 3 year old...
Thank you.....
Where we live in the City, so hopefully we will own 3-4 RIR's. I wish we lived in the country to have about that many of chickens and goats. Again Thank You.
Hello....
I grew up with my mother owning a chicken farm, however I was very young when she sold her farm around 4 years old. Now that I have my own son who is 3 years old I want to feel good about giving him fresh eggs that are not genetically altered eggs. I have been getting my fresh eggs...
