    One Sapphire Gem lays HUGE eggs!

    With these new ads I can't see my typing. I was going to say wow, these are huge!! Our latest Cornish cross chicken egg was 4.4 ounces, 125 grams! Half an ounce larger than our last 3.9 oz monster egg, both doubles. Not digging these ads,vreally can't see my own typing, and can't add monster...

    Extra large jumbo eggs

    Our average egg was 2.2 ounces, then our Cornish cross chickens started laying 2.7 ounce, massive (we thought) eggs. One laid a double, and it's 3.8 ounces, almost 108 grams. It doesn't fit in an egg carton (the 2.7 ouncers fit but you can't close the lid).

    Official BYC Poll: What Kind Of Relationship Do Your Dogs & Chickens Have?

    She gets excited around them and is really holding back to try and behave in this pic. We put the babies on top of her on the couch and porch (closely supervised) to train her. She has saved our rooster Fancy Face from a dog by barking, but is otherwise a sissy and stays behind me when I go out...

    Does Egg Laying 'rub off' on younger hens

    We have several generations or tribes like most of you might. While our sole egg-layer (at the time) Maybell was busy with her 1st brood, our RIR Rosemary, who we bought at the store 24 weeks earlier decided to lay. I thought this was average to late age but chalked it up to her surviving a...

    Rescued chicks from a feed store

    Well I got 3 barred rock and 3 CX weeks-old chicks free with the 2 babies I bought. The store was so desperate to get them out that they told me "buy 1, get 6 or more free", and they really only had the height space of their body height in the little stacked trays they keep, so yeah, it was bad...

    Rescued chicks from a feed store

    Cornish Cross makes sense with the bare feather patches and they feel very meaty when I pick them up. Yeah, legs are very thick too. I think we have a winner.

    Rescued chicks from a feed store

    My husband and daughter vetoed that idea since we already named them. Ha, one is named Mercy. Not sure I could do the freezer deed unless we were pretty hungry or to put them out of misery....so, we'll see what happens.
