Ya.. I kinda wanna save it lol.. But I don't know how besides like pokin a hole and suckin the stuff out.. Kinda gross to me though lol... I agree though.. "Hey Ladies....Look at MyYyYY egg!! BEAT THAT HA!" they must say to eachother..

Or is a Red Star a combo of breeds? Or what can you breed with a red star hen to get more red stars?...Besides a red star rooster...If that makes sense..lol THANKS!!

Ya me too! I'm pretty excited...However, I did feel bad for her too.. She's only been laying for about a month so that had to hurt lol...It's so big the egg carton won't even close!

My silkie is really noisy. Everytime my red stars see me they make this really long baawwwwwwwwwwwkkk bawk bawk.. But that silkie just clucks all the time..She hasn't started laying that I know of either.

That would be an interesting combo.

I saw a few "weird egg posts" so I thought I would add mine.. I few days ago one of my hens didn't lay an egg after reliably laying one egg a day. The next day I go out and find this HUGE egg that looks like it's been bonded in the middle. The one on the right is a normal size brown egg. Do...

Okie dokie!! Thanks... OO..One more....Has anyone ever heard of feeding chickens cabbage for some nutritional benefit? One of my dad's friend is an "old country boy" and he suggested this.

Well that's a lot of different opinions which I appreciate very much.. Still ddoesn't help me though, lol. I guess I will put golf balls there JIC. Thanks for all the input...I have two hens laying and I got three eggs today! WOO HOO! =-)

Well since they are already laying without problems, should I use golf balls or not?

I have chickens from 2-6 months all living together and two of my red stars have started laying...What's the best thing to feed all of them without causing problems?

I have several hens of different ages and types. My two older red stars have been laying two eggs a day for about a month now. My Dad keeps telling me I need to keep a "nest egg" in the coop so they know where to lay or they will start laying elsewhere since they are allowed to free range during...

I love my polish and my silkies. They are so comical.. You can be standing right next to a polish chicken and they won't even realize you're there for a little while. And then when they do realize there are feet next to them they get spooked.. SO funny.. And it might just be me, but my silkies...

I just got some the other day. Only two lil chickies.. I can't wait to see how they turn out. I got mine from a local breeder so I don't know how their coloring will be.

The lady I get my chickens from just got a new batch of americaunas last week. No problems. We live in FL... It's HOTTTT

I don't think it's necessary to clip the wings either. Being that young, they aren't going to go over fences or anything. I live on two acres and my chickens don't ever go out of the yard. If it is necessary for you to clip them, I would wait and see if you see one on top of a fence or something...

Yes, i think they will be fine. I went outside again before dark and there were several piles of poop on the paper. thanks everyone for your help.

Right after the last post I went outside and put some paper towels down and spread some feed over it. I just went back out to check on them again (it's been about an hour or so) and there is fresh poop on the paper. I think I'm in the clear... Do you think I should still make it smaller? I...

I guess I will have to put down some paper towels and see... The pen is too big to tell if they're pooping or not. I even considered bringing them in the house, but it's been in the 90's here so I don't even need a heat lamp outside where I'm keeping them inside our dog kennel. They are really...

I just bought two appenzeller spitzhauben chicks from a local breeder and was told they are 3-4 days old (sunday). They seem to be doing fine, but when I pick them up their crops are always empty. I've seen them peck around a bit and drink water, but not actually eat. I can tell where they've...

Update: I waited for a response to no avail. I added them in yesterday and kept my routine with the other older hens. I let my older chickens back into the coop last night about 7:30 and sat in there for a little while to watch them with the babies. My jersey hens seem to be the worst at picking...
