Like everyone else her, I’m blown away. What I would love to see is one of the chickens Laying an egg on that pile. I mean, what the hell are they thinking? Do they lay on the edge? Do they walk around on them carefully and find a spot? Do they sorta plan it and tell each other they’re heading...
I have 7 chickens— one of each of the following: cuckoo blue bar, Plymouth Rock, Easter egger, Swedish flower hen, cream legbar, frost white legbar, and a red star.
I had a speckled Sussex but it ended up being a rooster so I had to find him a new home.
I really love the Swedish flower hen...
Well. I’m blown away. I just spent the last half hour looking at pictures of them online. I don’t know how I haven’t seen them before. Totally incredible looking bird— and the fact you say they are so great and friendly. Wow. I’m super happy for you— and I think the OP should try to find these...
Do these are what those super cute chicks became??
Damn. I don’t have enough room in my yard for more... but these... whoa. And I see that you later said they lay white eggs. And I totally want some white eggs.
My little lady started very almost black. She’s the black one— the chipmunk is a cream legbar, the yellow is a frost legbar, and the orange is a red star:)
You thought those saddle feathers were a little narrow?
Hmmmm. This breed is super yummy in my opinion. Cold-hardy and all a little different looking. AND so friendly and sweet. I only have one but I’d like to have more.
Hi Everyone.
Lara here-- you may remember Charlotte who became Charlie... And now I have Daisy and I'm hoping I don't have to change her name, because I don't have a good option for a male version of "Daisy". Dagmar? Duke? Dystopic Damian? Dark Lord?
Daisy is just over 11 weeks old.
Thanks...
Hi there! Yay to chickens in New Jersey:) Inga laid her first egg at about 21 weeks old:) It was a little small-- about 33 grams. Now she's laying eggs that are about 50 grams each. I'm not sure if the shorter days may make your girl take a little more time to lay. Who knows? I wonder how many...
