    That chicken on Modern Family episode

    It probably was a store bought egg. I can see why they would go with a white egg - they are more easily recognized and show up better on screen. It still bothers this nerd though.

    That chicken on Modern Family episode

    The eggs in the episode didn't match the hen. They kept showing a white egg, and that chicken was definitely a brown layer!

    Welsummer or Easter Egger?

    My grandfather was named Doris... And my grandmother is Willie!

    Silence Is Not Golden Here

    My little chicken nuggets like to spend the day outside of their brooder... They use the coop as a run while the big chickens are out in the run.

    Silence Is Not Golden Here

    I've decided that he's going to freezer camp when the turkey does in two weeks... I'd like to separate him and fatten him up before then. He's low in the pecking order, so he doesn't get a lot of food. I would put him the kennel, but I'm using it as a brooder for the chicks right now.

    Silence Is Not Golden Here

    Sadly, the cockerels aren't gonna get the chance to become roosters. Unless I have to get rid of Miles, my SLW roo, who keeps going after my son. Then I may keep one cockerel if he proves he can do the job.

    Chicken filleted her side under wing

    I'd bandage it to keep the skin in place since it's hanging so it'll grow back together. If it was just a hole, I'd suggest leaving it open. One of my pullets had a dog bite on her neck with a quarter sized chunk of skin missing, and it grew back together. Took 2 weeks of her being in the house...

    Silence Is Not Golden Here

    They are one week old straight run Red Rangers. Some are already feathering out faster than the others, so I'm thinking I have a least a couple of pullets. I do plan on raising the cockerels for meat and I'll give the pullets a chance to prove that they are layers. The 12 week mark is the...

    Silence Is Not Golden Here

    Yep. They were a quarter apiece. I was looking at bird seed (for treats) when one of the managers asked an employee if they still had them and if they did, sell them for a quarter each to whomever would buy them all... I said that I would take them (I managed not to jump up and down going ooh...

    Also, I went into tsc unaccompanied... And walked out with 20 red rangers that I got for $5... They are the laziest chicks, too. They mostly just sit around the food dishes in the brooder.

    One of my roos may be on the waiting list for freezer camp. He keeps trying to go after little G when his back is turned...

    Has anyone had missing birds returning?

    I've had two chickens on three separate occasions come back. Tasha was missing for over night once but came back in the morning for breakfast. And another time I couldn't catch her after she escaped the run and she got under the back deck. Again, she came running for breakfast. I thought Kathryn...

    Silence Is Not Golden Here

    My top roo, Tuvok, usually keeps his distance from me... Except when I wear my black flats into the run. Then he must kill them.

    Silence Is Not Golden Here

    Update: it was not Kes on the ground, but Naomi (I have 3 mostly white EE's) and the possum didn't injure her. Also, Crusher is healing up pretty well. I'm putting antibiotic ointment on her everyday, and the wound is healing up. And no maggots! She should be able to rejoin the flock Tuesday at...

    Silence Is Not Golden Here

    Ok y'all, 2 eggciting things happened tonight (sorry, not sorry). 1) There was a possum in the coop tonight! I was late going to shut them up/put them to bed, and when I got there my EE Kes was not on the roost. She was sitting next to the wire wall. I looked around with my flashlight and there...

    Giant cochin

    Yep. He has committed the ultimate sin of pecking me and drawing blood - granted it was a night and he was on the roost. I was trying to check hens and he decided that I wasn't. That resulted in him not getting to stay on the roost and me chasing him and "pecking" him with a stick... For the...

    Giant cochin

    I also have an EE cockerel, but his hormones haven't kicked in yet, so he doesn't harass the hens yet. But I have a feeling that he's still gonna be higher in the pecking order than the SLW... Especially if the SLW ends up in the soup pot...

    Giant cochin

    My bantam Cochin roo is the hens favorite (have 3 roos total, and he's my one and only bantam). He let's the girls know where there are tasty snacks, escorts them to the nesting box, and is very gentle when breeding them... And keeps the SLW roo who is 3x his size away from them (the SLW is not...
