    Crossed Beak

    I would not trim it at all. I tried to trim mine when she was young and it was bleeding and horrible, and it STILL stayed crosses, so no point to it to me. I guess if there is a part of it that is thin at the end you could trim a little off--kindof where it stops tapering thinner and gets more...

    My First Egg!! Finally!!! Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Congrats on your egg! You'll be just as excited to keep getting eggs day after day! The first egg is hard to wait for, but then knowing that you'll be getting eggs almost every day, or multiples each day is really cool!

    April 2010 Pullets- wanna wait with me?

    Quote: If they are like my 6, after the first layer sang the egg song, the others kicked in right away--within 1 week there are at least 4/6 laying!

    ? Easter Eggers ?

    The brown ones are from Barred Rocks, but the others are EE's--at least 2 of 4 are laying green/cream color eggs.

    Squatting? huh?

    Yep, getting close! One of my 2 BR's has laid 2 eggs so far, and her comb is about the size of your NHR. She started at 23 weeks though.

    when can i switch my babies over to layer ration?

    As for the 16-week olds, I would start NOW. My chickens didn't get switched until 22 weeks, and at 23 weeks started laying. The Layena from Purina Farms I give them has added calcium for making the egg shells. I think that helped get them going. With the broody hen--It will be fine. If...

    Still wondering

    My barred rocks did that for a few weeks--maybe 2-3. One just started laying on 9-27-10(Monday), and she has a much less developed comb than the other BR that hasn't started yet. She only started the egg song AFTER laying though. Then today I got one more egg from her, and another first from...

    Chicken goes to Amazing Heights!

    If you could get a video of that chicken flying up there, that would get some serious hits on youtube. I didn't think they could fly that high, especially without a running start.

    I've got new chicks!

    I just put the pictures on my desktop so I know where to look when I hit "browse". Then I go to "Uploads"(at the top in the blue bar", then click "browse" to find your picture--click on it to enter into the box for uploading.

    April 2010 Pullets- wanna wait with me?

    Quote: Well, my BR's have been pretty hefty for about a month now, maybe a little more. I was surprised how fat they got so quickly, and the one has had a big bright comb for a month too. The 2'nd BR's comb just grew noticeably this last week...maybe it was her who laid the egg. I just...
