    prayer warriors (following Jesus Christ, everyone welcome)

    I received the gift 50 years ago come August! I have been thru some very difficult times in the years since (a daughter who is a recovering--not recovered--drug & alcohol addict in a tumultuous marriage, a son who knows the Lord but spent 6 years in prison & now temporarily living with me as...

    Anyone just feel like a failure sometimes?

    I'm feeling like that right now. Eggatha, my 5 yr old RIR adopted from my daughter, laid a couple paper thin eggs, a couple with white band abt 3 wks ago. I cut back on treats & greens from my garden & put out more Oyster shell in a feeder & things improved. Today, another thin shell egg. Last...

    Cinnamon Swirl eggs!!!

    Aunt Angus, I have 2 welsummers that just started laying. One has laid eggs like that, long & slender. I thought it was Chicken Little , the runt of the 10 my daughter-in-law bought & I adopted 2 of because she has been slower than her sister in everything & these eggs have appeared just in the...

    Will my welsumers ever lay??

    Hmm, it does sound like Eggatha maybe laid the 2nd egg after all. Thanks, I never heard they could lay 2 in one day but if any hen could, she could! She is such a good faithful layer, even laid an egg the day after her sister & long-term companion was gotten by the raccoon. Well, maybe the...

    Will my welsumers ever lay??

    My 2 welsumers are 30 weeks old & have 4 yr old sister, an RIR. My. RIR has laid an egg every day since I adopted her from my daughter a yr ago. The 3 integrated fairly well (RIR is alpha hen!). I think one of the newbies laid an egg couple wks ago unless Eggatha laid 2 in one day, one 2.56 oz...

    Some pullers not laying after 22 weeks

    I got my 2 welsumers 4/2, one laid one egg next to her 4-yr-oold sister's 3 wks ago. Then we went from 70 degree days to 2 hard freezes (15 deg & 11 deg in 2 days) & neither has laid an egg since. Today ended day,ight savings so days short & cold. Will they lay b4 spring??

    Why do my chickens dine on dandelions?

    Your comment about the store that sells dandelion greens reminds me of when I moved to watertown MA from Utah & discovered the grocery store in Cambridge near Harvard sold fresh violet flowers & fiddleheads in the produce dept. I'm back in UT now & eat my own dandelions as do my chickens but oh...

    White banded egg

    Still don't know how to post a photo (maybe tomorrow w/son's help) but it looks EXACTLY like the illustration in BYC's discussion on egg problems.

    White banded egg

    My 4 yr old RIR Eggatha is beginning to reluctantly accept the 12 week old Welsumers who have joined her in the chicken run but chases them away from the feeders if she notices them. They sleep separately, Eggatha in a converted doghouse, th other 2 in henhouse. She has slept in both in the...

    Uh oh, I obviously still don't know how to enter my comment the right way w/o picking up these other comments etc. Help! I can raise chickens but not comprehend modern inventions.

    Mine are or have been Eggatha, Eggnes, Chicken Noodle & Chicken Little (the runt). Eggnes was lost to a raccoon in the winter & is sadly missed.

    Introducing old to new

    Hmmm, things to think about. I switched my RIR to the pet playpen this a.m. & the chicks to the run, still adjacent, & everyone seems happy. Maybe I should just continue that arrangement for a week or 2 b4 getting them all togethers. I like the idea of sprinkling grains along the adjoining...

    Introducing old to new

    Thanks Finnie, that makes sense. They are well acquainted now thru watching each other thru the fence & have stopped running back & forth squawking madly so I guess they're not scared. All will be well.

    Introducing old to new

    Great advice, thanks! Eggatha the RIR has been in the temp quarters b4 we built the run so she won't care. That should make for a peaceful intro. Meantime my 2 cats crouch outside the chicken run watching, watching--and running away in terror if a chicken gets near them!

    Introducing old to new

    My 2 welsummer chicks are now 8+ weeks old. For a week they have spent days in a wire pet playpen adjacent to their 2 yr old RIR sister's chicken run. At night I carry them to the henhouse within the run next to sisters adapted doghouse & lock them in. They have been observing each other thru...
