Thank you....all this input from those of you that have done this longer than I has been extremely helpful. I definitely need to make so changes for my girls! Enjoy your day....it's beautiful in the high 60's in the Charleston today.

I really understand, I have 12 ladies and they will be all different colors. My first has been the olive egg but can,t wait to see the others. I wanted them to be different for my grand children. This has been a lot of fun.

I know exactly how you feel. I got my first egg in December. Only one chicken has started laying. I'm about going blind each day trying to see if any of the others have started. My first to lay is an Olive Egger named Blackie. My grandchildren love to go in and collect her egg. Enjoy all...

Wyorp Rock, CTKen, Junebuggena.........many thanks for all your valuable info on feed. I have some changes to make. My 11 are just before laying and one additional one who is older is already laying. I can't free range them because of 3 dogs I have that want to make them dinner. I have a 10...

thank you so much for taking the time to help me. I had a feeling I was overdoing but I was going by suggestions by people at the stores that probably didn't have the experience but were trying to help. Would you be allowed to tell me the name of a brand and type feed you would suggest? I...

I have been using that same lamp when our temps drop but our temperatures are no way near as cold as what you guys get. Chickens are a lot of fun and enjoyment. I love walking out in the morning and all are waiting for me, of course, they know I usually bringing greens or something good.

Thank you for taking the time to answer my question. I enjoyed reading your answer....you should be an author....I can just see those chicks fighting the woodpeckers off right now. Thanks again.

Thank you bbroadhead for all that info. I'm going to have to check into the solar light. That is a good idea. Like I said before, this is my first year to ever try chickens. I have found them to be very stress relieving. My grand children are having so much fun naming them and looking for...

I am so glad you asked this question. I actually live in Charleston, SC and our temps are no where near as cold as yours or others mentioned here. I'm new to chickens and being the "mother hen" I have been running 2 heat lamps when it drops below 45 just to get the ladies warm. The...

Thank you! I was afraid it was a sign of lack of something that I needed to know about. Still got a lot to learn.

I have an Olive Egger that is about 3 years old but I just got her. She has had two eggs...yesterday's was a beautiful olive color (I was so thrilled...my first egg) but todays is olive also but with a blue ring around the smaller part of the egg. Do you know what would cause this? Any advice...
