I'm not at all sure. I know I have one RIR, one gray bantam roo, and four white Leghorns. But the others are still unidentified as of now. There are two all black ones that are bigger than the rest, and one cream/tan colored one with a furry tuft on her head, and one two-toned dark brown with a...

I didnt get into this to make money, that's for sure. Everyone has chickens around here at well, so they give eggs away by the dozen. They have already given me hours of entertainment, and I'm enjoying raising them. But I would like to have enough eggs to feed me and the dogs, and to give to my...

OMG!!! I laughed so hard I almost peed myself! Thank you for that!

Thank you!

Everyone says, "When they have their feathers..." Well, I have a bunch of different breeds and several different ages, so I'm confused. I dont want to put them out too early, but they are getting hard to handle indoors. Any more specific information? The oldest two have their wing feathers, but...
