    Prairie Bluebell Egger

    Thanks for the input. Others agree, which is a great relief. I did not have rooster plan.

    Prairie Bluebell Egger

    Sorry, I did end up doing that. I did not mean to hijack the post. Since someone was able to tell me what I thought was a PBB wasn't, it spurned the thought about the other bird.

    She's a mutt, but a mutt of what?

    I would like to tap into the awesomeness of knowledge in this community. We bought our first 4 chickens as roughly year olds hens, less than a year ago. 2 of them were mutts. The lady said one was a leghorn mix. I am loving having chickens and soaking up chicken knowledge. We are up to 7...

    Boy or Girl?

    I kept wondering why my Buff Orpington never started to look like it was transitioning into an adult Buff Orpington. After learning that TSC mislabeled my Prairie Bluebell, which I figured out was not one after she laid a white egg, I started to think maybe they did not give me an Orpington...

    Prairie Bluebell Egger

    Thank you. I looked at some pictures and she does look like a Silver Leghorn. Tractor Supply must have mislabeled. I also just figured out that the Buff Orpington pullet I thought I bought was Rhode Island Red. I kept thinking when is this bird going to start looking like the pictures I have...

    Prairie Bluebell Egger

    UPDATE TO POST: Not sure how likely it is that a Prairie Bluebell could lay a white egg. She started laying this week, and both eggs are white. At Tractor supply they had 3 breeds in the trough. She is definitely not the other 2. So either Tractor Supply labeled them wrong or PBB don't...

    Prairie Bluebell Egger

    We have 1 Prairie Bluebell that we got at Tractor Supply. She is right at 5 months. Like you, I haven't found much online about them. She is our only experience with her breed. As she has grown her coloration has changed greatly. I could have convinced people each stage was a different...

    Please help with questions regarding lice & housing. I feel so awful.

    I found the same thing to be true for us. I was new to chickens earlier this year. We have not experienced lice, but we got mites and did not realize how bad they were until they were real bad. The DE was not helping, the permethrin made the difference. I think DE is good to keep them at bay...

    Have 3 that won't roost in coop, what temp is too cold?

    Thank you everyone for your advice. Our freezing temperature have passed for this week. I am sure there are plenty more to come. We put up canvas tarp on the northern exposure and the big girls seemed to do okay. We figure we would rather risk a potential stress of cold temperatures over the...

    Have 3 that won't roost in coop, what temp is too cold?

    That part of the coop has 3 birds. The coup is roughly 42x42. The nesting boxes are sticking out from the coop and not part of that square footage. The picture of the two bars in the coop is taken from inside one of the nesting boxes. The three birds are friendly with each other. The #1...

    Have 3 that won't roost in coop, what temp is too cold?

    I see lots of great advice here and always start my search here with any new questions. I can't find the all of the answer to my current question. This is my first winter with chickens. I have three that roost in the rafters of their run. They have from day one, last March. They do not go...
