This is great news for us! :-) I have been raising chickens here for the past two years, and have always worried about getting turned in.. Of course, I still have over the limit, but now at least I wouldnt need to get rid of them all.. I was looking more into it, but wasnt able to find any...

I have a RIR hen, and 2 BO hens that have been laying consistantly and egg a day for at least the last three weeks. All of sudden they have stopped laying. The birds are at my parents in laws house currently, and my sister in law has been taking care of them, and I thought maybe it was just she...

Quote: Yep, this is true. Sienna didnt start laying till recently. Honestly, when I first saw the pics, I saw the head, and said roo, but the tail feathers are off.. These are both of my RIR, Onyx, my Roo, in the middle.. Ben patient. I thought she would never lay as well, but its all in...

So, I have finally decided to go "outlaw" (chickens are illegal in Gilroy, Ca. city limits...) and will be moving my girls from their home at my parents in law house, to our backyard. In doing so, I will have to get rid of Onyx, our RIR roo. After much consideration, we are going to do it...

Quote: I thought that at first too, but both eggs have been larger.. (The smaller eggs are from a couple days ago..) I guess time will tell.

Dont post much on here, but got some of the largest eggs we have gotten since my girls have been laying.. They have been laying now for about 3 weeks, and I have been getting a constant 2 a day, from three girls. Dont quite know if that only from two birds, or if they are taking turns each day...

Quote: Ya.. I was amazed how closed minded, and out right rude some of them were..

Got some more pics in the light today. Only really had time to build the door today, to much going on. Saturday I plan to make a lot of headway, as long as my wife will let me work.. :-) And of course, cant forget the birds. :-) Onyx (on top), and Sienna..

Well, its been hard finding time this past week, with it getting dark so early, but have made a lot of progress on it.. Day (night) One: Day Two. Forgot the camera till a little later.. Got the rest of the studs up for the walls, the roof on, and half of the roost box built.. Made a lot of...

I made a miniature one of these using a 3 gallon bucket and a planter base that was on clearance at Home Depot. It works great, and I haven't seen as much waste as the old feeder I was using. I have heard that you can use them as waterer's too, and I think there is a page on it here.. here it...

Awesome, thank you all!

I was recently gifted the money to finally build the coop that i want by my parents!! I borrowed this design, and made a few of my own modifications.. https://www.backyardchickens.com/web/viewblog.php?id=32956 Im going to shrink it some, making it 8'x4', and gunna put the nesting box on the...

The feed store that we ought these from labeled them as Ameracauna's, but didnt know even an approximate age.. Any thoughts?? (There is no bedding there, but it was on its way inside.. )

Morgan Hill here, with the birds residing in San Martin (only about 10 minutes from us..) at the in-laws. We live in a townhouse, so cant have them here..

I fed mine yogurt for the first time the other day, and they were wiping their beaks on each other to get it off.. It was pretty funny..

Well, I went and got some yogurt for the birds today, as a treat.. They didnt know what to do with it at first.. Aurora, my RIR Hen was the only one that would take it on the outside of the coop.. (It looks dirty, cause I was trying to get them to taste it, so I added some scratch..) Once I...

Quote: We are 30 minutes south of San Jose.. Birds are located about 10 minutes further south from us, at my wifes parents house.. They have 5 acres, and have a herd of dairy goats, so the birds fit right in The coop was a free rabbit hutch that I found on Craigslist, that I added walls to...

Bay Area.. :-) and yes, its very addicting. Unfortunately we are keeping them at my wifes parents house, as they have the room, out in the country..
