Hello, I am Melissa and I am making this post because I have seen many threads here asking how to winterize the chicken run and I want to tell/show you how I do it here in South East/ South Central Kansas area. I have read many ways from plexiglass sheets to tarps. Well, for me having 4 hens...

Well, my final pullet Dot(possibly changing to Polly) has finally started laying, and wouldn't ya know it I think she just might be an olive egger. Her egg is darker than the others and has the same color inside shell as outside while the others have a light blue inside. Infact the pullet...

Dash laid such a pretty blue egg this morning.....I know it was her as I went to check on eggs and there were none, so I sat in my chair by the run to watch the girls a while and she was the only one to go in the coop, then when she came out I checked again and there was this very pretty blue...

My 5/6 month old Easter Egger pullet, Gladys, laid her first egg today!!! These tiny eggs are so cute, though Gladys's egg is just slightly smaller than my old hen Henryetta's egg. These few months I have raised her it was fun wondering what color egg she would lay.....would it be blue...

Hi, we are Dot and DASH and Mom got us at Atwood's a couple months ago out if their Easter Egger Pullet bin..... obviously we are both pullets but we don't have those dark green legs like Mom was told was a sure sign of an Easter Egger chicken. So we are wondering are we EE's or some other...

I got 2 Easter Egger chicks in February from Orschlen's....supposed to be both pullets, well Hazel turned out to be a Hank. So Hank needs a home, as I do not need nor want a Rooster. Hank is also attacks my other 2 younger chicks. So Handsome Hank needs a new home. He is a 4/5 month old...

First let me say I know it is a bit early to know 100% but the older my first 2 Easter Egger chicks get the more I think the dark one I named Hazel may be a Hank. These 2 chicks are around 9 or 10 weeks. I got them at my local Orschlen's. Seems 'Hazel' is getting a more and more bright red...

First time chick Mom, so I am clueless and need all advice I can get...... One of my 6 to 7 week old Aruacauna chicks was found pecked to the bone on her head about 30 minutes ago. The other baby was hiding in nest box. Don't know if the other baby did it or the old hen. Can she be saved...

Call me crazy but I am new to having chickens, and with fall and winter coming soon I knew I would need something other than a simple pet taxi to shut my rescue chicken Henryetta up in. I did lots of research on those prefab coop kits and even had a couple picked out but I just couldn't place...

There I was not even thinking of chickens at this point when someone was desperate to find a home for a chicken they found wandering around a hospital parking lot the whole weekend. I had a old chainlink dog kennel that I got last year to make a small chicken run but have no coop yet.....but I...

A friend suggested I join so I could gather info about possibly setting up a small backyard coop & run for maybe 4 chickens so that I can have eggs. As a kid my folks had meat chickens but I never really dealt with any of that, but I have always thought as an adult to have just a couple...
