Ok, the inside of your coop is decorated SO CUTE!!! Thank you for sharing all your pics! Your flock is big and diverse - I love it!! Our coop is “cute” but it is our first one (was relatively “cheap” - ha, no pun intended!) so it’s definitely going to be replaced with something more substantial...
@aart @Chickassan Thank you both! Wow! Ok - so glad I asked. I’ll significantly reduce the amount of veggies and fruit I offer and will only give it to them every few days (maybe twice a week).
@ChickenGirl555 Thank you very much for sharing your integration story. I just read it and it is so helpful. We have two polish hens (10 mos old and started laying back in September- but stopped laying in October because they started to molt AND the days were getting shorter) who are very loving...
Hello!
These are our two 10 month old polish hens, Sally (golden laced) and Loretta (silver laced). They’re our first foray into backyard chickening!!! Lol
We’ve loved every minute with these SILLY girls and are planning to add another 2 or 3 to our flock this spring.
I really enjoyed seeing...
HAHA! I do not think you're crazy at all. I LOVE IT. We decorated our coop for Christmas (picture attached) and had it and pics of our two polish chickens (Loretta & Sally) on our Christmas cards this year. Everyone loved them. I'm sure your girls appreciate the extra love you give them - and...
Thank you very much, this was very reassuring. We are fine getting no eggs, as they are really just a bonus for us - we wanted the girls just as pets mainly. I just wanted to make sure they should still NOT be laying and that the feed we were still giving them was ok. We give them a bounty of...
Question about egg laying. I'm fairly new to having chickens (will be 1 year in March). We have 2 polish hens. They started laying in September 2018 and stopped laying in October 2018. We figured it was because the days had started to get shorter and/or they were molting. When should we expect...
Meet Sally (gold laced) and Loretta (silver laced). These are our 7 month old hens that we are just so in love with. They just started laying about 3 weeks ago and we are now ridiculously proud chicken parents.
WOW - those eggs are beautiful - so colorful. Love it!!! We just started getting to "collect eggs" in the past 3 weeks too so I totally get your excitement - I can't wait to go look every day and I still take pictures of EVERY SINGLE ONE!!! LOL Enjoy those yummy eggs!
Thank you very much! Yes, the run is where the pine shavings are wet - the coop itself is pretty much fine. We are going to put in a couple of underground drains to try to divert some of the water. We will ditch all the wet pine shavings that are in there now - it is still raining today so it's...
Hello Everyone,
I'm still trying to figure out how to navigate this site. I just asked a question in another forum but have no idea where to find my answer, if anyone replies. UGH! Hopefully I'll figure it out. Anyhoot, when I originally posted about our 3 new Polish Laced babies, I thought we...
