I have a pair of sweet ISA Brown girls. They are perfect except they sleep in their nest boxes all the time. 😑 I use a cat box scooper to get the poop and dirty pine shavings out, but it’s hard to get in there everyday. My solution is sticking disposable foil/tin baking pans in there! They...

I have 3 little EE hens. First year with chickens and loving it! We’re almost through winter and I have my first issue. I have 1 bully who likes to feather pick the one that I thought was the boss. I have a saddle and blu-kote on the one getting picked, and going to try making up some homemade...

I got my 3 hens at 15 weeks old this last August. They are currently almost 40 weeks. My EE/Salmon Faverolle = lays 1 light brown egg 5-6 days per week. Started around 28 weeks. My EE/Ameracauna = lays 1 blue/green egg every other day; we’ll say 4 per week. Started around 34 weeks. EE/Houdan...

I thought my 9 month old Easter Egger, Little Jerry Sienfeld, was getting pecked by her 2 sisters because she had a sudden bare spot on her back, and I saw them pecking out her new growth, little jerks. After lots of research on BYC I realized she was moulting and THATS why they were picking...

I get A LOT of questions about our 3 little backyard city chickens making it through this sub-zero WI winter. Here are a couple pictures of our gals in their prefab Farmhouse coop. Hopefully it helps someone doing research! It is a typical online coop for 6-8 hens, but I wouldn’t keep more...

Here are some pics of my 3 Easter egger girls (our first chickens)! My husband and I have been using tips from this community and hoping for the best during week 2 of sub-zero temps in an unheated, pre-fab coop. So far so good! Here is what I’ve been doing: 1. My black Easter egger started...

I have 3 gals in my little backyard flock. Love them! Got them in August and was told they were 12 weeks old. They are each 3 different breeds mixed with Easter egger, making them all Easter eggers? I’m trying to figure out what breed my brown one is. The farm had Polish and Houdan (with the...

Hi friends! Finally picked up my first 3 hens 3 weeks ago for my back yard flock. I picked 3 Easter Eggers that were each a different color. They are 17 weeks today. I hope they start laying in the next few weeks! The white one has 5 toes and is supposedly mixed with Salmon Favorelle or...

Hi Folks, First ever coop here - we have 3 Easter Egger pullets on hold until we finish our fence going around this coop. I know bigger is better, but we went as big as we could for the space we have. Will 3 EE's be okay? They'll be out of the coop during the day inside the fence (30x15 ft...

New chicken friend here. Been lurking for awhile and finally ready to post my new coop! No chickens yet, but we're hoping to get 2-3 Easter Eggers. If after a year, we're really enjoying the art of city hens, we will build/invest in a larger, more appropriate coop. For now, though, do you...

Hello friends! Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? - New to chickens here. Grew up in Northern Wisconsin around a lot of farms. Was a Peace Corps Volunteer in Honduras, and learned some about chickens while living there for 2.5 years. Currently living in a suburb of...
