    Another first

    My birds are 20 weeks tomorrow. I've had one giving us eggs for the last 1 1/2 - 2 weeks. Today, another Rhode Island White came and hopped up onto my outdoors couch with me and start scratching at the cushions as if she was trying to build a nest. She then started cackling loudly for a few...

    Time in the Box?

    Funny, the later that I have keeps pretty quiet about things. But like you said, each is different

    Time in the Box?

    I figure as much. So far, I have just one out of my six laying. It'll be interesting to see how the others act.

    Time in the Box?

    Out of curiosity, how long will one of your girls sit in a nesting box? Do they sit for a while before laying or run in and run out?

    I can sex your pullets and cockerels!

    This is one we've been calling "Juanita". If Juanita is actually a Juan, we'd be making a choice about Juan's future real soon. But, if this is really a Juanita, she'll stick around. He/she is definitely very vocal, but I'm not sure I'd call the vocalizations a crow. I know that could be due to...

    New Layers!

    Well these birds are full of surprises. I let them out of the run and into the yard to enjoy some oatmeal my kids didn't finish. All but one came a runnin'. I peeked in the nest box and one of the RIWs was camped out in there. When I saw her a bit later I checked the box and a still-warm egg was...

    Lurker to Poster

    I've found a lot of helpful tips and pointers while lurking on this site for the last several months. We have 3 Rhode Island Whites and 3 Black Australorps. One of the BA's laid her first egg just a couple days ago at the ripe ol' age of 16.5 weeks. It's been fun getting to know these ladies and...

    New Layers!

    Greetings all, I've been lurking around the site since I started thinking about having a backyard flock. I have 3 Rhode Island Whites and 3 Black Australorps. They've been fun to watch grow. They truly have unique personalities. They were all hatched on or approximately March 5th. The three...
