    Not sure if easter Eggert

    It'll be nice for them. So far we have 1 brown leghorn, 1 RIR, 4 production reds, Now we got the 4 EE's and 2 Barred Rocks. Everybody got names... just hard to tell the Productions apart... still doesn't stop the kids from calling them whatever they want

    Not sure if easter Eggert

    I thought so, I'm actually happy I can tell them apart since my kids named them. It's difficult to tell our 4 production reds apart. I just hope we get some blue or green eggs. It's a little annoying they are falsely advertising their birds. Thanks for the quick response! I truly appreciate it!

My chickens have three nesting boxes and prefer the one furthest from the window. I...

    Sitting in nest but not laying

    If she is laying on the ceramic eggs it is possible she is becoming broody. One other option is inserting a gloved finger into her vest to check if she has an egg stuck. Is she acting fine otherwise? Eating drinking running around?

    Chicks Keep Dying! HELP

    From the looks of it, it seems like the heat lamp it too close. It is very possible that they are over heating. Before I got my thermometer I found that I was keeping my brooder too warm causing some of my first ever chicks to become lethargic. Raising the headlamp on a stick and directing it...
