    Breed?

    I need help....All of these chicks came from either blue, green or chocolate eggs. I'd love a breed assessment but also a sex guess :) This one I'm pretty sure is a pullet and is black with orange bits (like a gold laced wyendotte). No clue...The white with black splotches is a pullet I...

    Chicken Friends, Late last fall I had a hen start acting a tad bit broody. I'm now trying to come up with a game plan if this happens again since I think the likelyhood is strong. Have any of you purchased fertile eggs shipped through the mail and put them under a broody hen? Do any of you...

    Pullers or Roos? 8 week Olds :)

    From the pictures I'm guessing the black with gold and the reddish one were roos. Was I correct? I have a batch of mixed chicks I got yesterday so I'm hoping I've got the skills to guess! I'm going to need them :)

    I'm impressed with an 11 year old that is this into chickens. Anyway last year I got my entire flock from local farm stores. I got Easter Eggers/Americauna, Barred Rocks, Rhode Island Red, Astralorpe, Golden Sex link, Buff Orpington and wyandottes. I just called around. I picked them up at Del's...

    Hello All, I am interested in Olive Eggers, Cream Legbars and Cuckoo Marans. I only need two of each and can't seem to find a hatchery that is able to send six at the same time. If you live near the Spokane area and are planning to order some of these breeds Please let me know so that I can...

    How many eggs do you get weekly? What do you do with the extra eggs?

    I don't know if heat would delay laying. I think that breed can influence laying times. Mine (12) started laying between 19 weeks and 26 weeks. I have heard of some breeds not laying until they were as late as eight or nine months old. I would make sure the feed was good. Some grain, some green...

    How many eggs do you get weekly? What do you do with the extra eggs?

    I'm very pleased with the breeds I chose. 2 buff orpingtons (sweet, friendly, great egg layers) 2 RIR (friendly, a bit more bossy), 2 Australorpes (fairly standoffish, but great layers, the bosses of the run, 2 Barred rocks (friendly on par with the BO, great layers) 2 Wyendottes (friendly I...

    How many eggs do you get weekly? What do you do with the extra eggs?

    I get about fifty per week from my 12 hens. I give the extras away....mostly to my adult children. But I also take them to church...The church leaders almost always know someone who could use some eggs!

    What Chickens lay extra large eggs?

    My hens have only been laying for a few weeks. At what age is the maximum egg size reached? Also can anyone tell me what to expect reguarding the winter egg slow down. I have twelve hens and don't plan on light supplementation. Will it go down to none per day or three per day? Best guesses please!

    I am happy to report that my birds are all hens and laying albeit some with strange vocalizations. My next question is about maintaining egg numbers. I do not plan on butchering my hens. I know that their prime egg laying years are the first two. How long do chickens live? Is it better to add a...

    How do you feed OATS to chickens?

    I've seen a recommendation for about three cups of WHOLE oats for eight chickens per day. It was a winter recommendation I believe. But supposedly it is their favorite. Now to find a GMO free source of whole oats
