    Rats attracted to alfalfa?

    Hi! My girls love it when I put a small flake of alfalfa in their run for them to dig through. I rake it up and clean it out after a couple of days. I don’t have a huge rat problem. I caught one last month and have seen no evidence since. Just wondering if the alfalfa will attract rats? I make...

    Feasting on Ranunculus and anenome leafs

    This is my first winter with chickens. My girls are 9 months old. They are feasting on my anemone and ranunculus sprouts!! We let them freerange for about an hour a day so they have access to a variety of backyard goodies, grass, clover, weeds, lavender, bugs, ... so they have a lot to choose...

    Olive Egger

    She Layed!!! And she did not disappoint! Here is her first green eggs next to one from our RIR and Buff Orpington. She must be a barred Rock mix, her egg is longer, similar to a barred rock shape. Also, I emailed D2D Farms and they said their olive Eggers are a Barred RockXEaster Egger mix...

    Lone Bantam not yet laying

    Hi, here is a picture of our RIR and her mini-me (Bantam) for perspective. We free range for a couple of hours a day, but I'm pretty sure she's not sneaking off to lay. There have been a couple of days where we couldn't let them out of the run and she showed no indication of laying. Maybe...

    Lone Bantam not yet laying

    I thought lordosis was the technical term for “squatting”. My other hens started squatting about a week before they began laying. Here’s a picture of comb and waddle

    Lone Bantam not yet laying

    Hello. I didn’t know what I was doing when I was getting my chicks. I felt rushed and the lady said “how about a bantam?” And I said “sure”. So to start I had a RIR, Buff Orpington, and bantam RIR. They were a happy little flock, then I got an olive egger and barred rock pullets. Our bantam RIR...

    Olive Egger

    Thank you for your response. I can tell you have a lot of chicken knowledge :) I'm a chicken novice, by 'crest' do you mean comb? Her comb is very slight/small. I'm going to google "hen crest" I'm surprised at how pronounced her back and white barring is. She looks like she could be my...

    Olive Egger

    Hi! I ordered Sophie our olive-egger pullet from Dare 2 Dream farms. I’m so curious what she could be a mix of. Her gray and white semi-barred coloring and deep orange eyes make me think cuckoo Maran but I’m not sure what other breed I see in her. Any ideas? She’s next to our Barred Rock in one...

    Calling All Buff Orpington Lovers!

    My Buffy pullet was rude to me until about 18 weeks. Now she follows me around the yard and jumps in my lap. So, they get more lovey as they mature.
