    Looking for breed ID help

    Probably half of them are under a year old. The others are over a year. To be honest, I'm not sure what they are specifically being fed. The farm owners take care of their feed. I just take it out of the feed bin and give it to them and let the farm guy know when they are getting low. I do...

    Looking for breed ID help

    I have been getting some very large brown eggs. Varying shades from a light tan to almost a dark caramel brown. I have been getting several lately with multiple yolks. A lot of double yolks and even a four yolker! Is that normal?

The flock belongs to the owner of the farm we live on but due to health reasons she is unable to care for them any longer. She is currently not on the farm for me to ask about breeds so I'm looking...

    No, hedgies don't throw quills. They will however ball up and puff their spikes up and making huffing noises that sound like a coffee pot brewing. Lol

    The runs are not enclosed. Just a fenced in area around the coop. I didn't really pay attention to what she did last winter with them since I wasn't responsible for them. I plan to make sure I shovel out space in the runs during the winter snows. I do close them in the coop in the evenings...

    New to the world of chicken keeping

    I've already come to the conclusion that when we have our own place I HAVE to have chickens! I've already been sketching out coop ideas. I'd love to redo the coops and yards here, but I have to talk to the farm owner first.

    I will definitely add more clutter to their runs. We have a lot of spare wood we normally use for our firepit, but will happily share with the birds. I've seen a few posts about making benches and swings with them. I am looking to try my hand at a couple of those soon. Is there anything I...

    New to the world of chicken keeping

    Hey everyone. I am relatively new to having chickens. I live on a small family farm (we don't actually do the farming, just live in the little house/rental property the farm owners have) in Southern Wisconsin. The lady who owns the farm has recently had some health issues and is no longer...
