    Wooot, 11 Chicks!

    I got my first set of chicks back in April on Easter weekend. I've had such fun with them and I adore them! But then around Sunday, Sept 25th I noticed one of my Hen's disappeared. I had suspected that she'd been hiding eggs from me but I could never find them, so I figured maybe some sort of...

    Wow. Big first Egg?

    I don't have any kind of incubator right now so I'm not too concerned with hatching, but definitely for the future. It kinda crossed my mind that it was a double yolker, but I'll break it open and see what I get. I have a Marans rooster. Thanks for posting!

    Wow. Big first Egg?

    I got my first egg last Sunday, I was super excited and I told everyone DON'T EAT IT! Yesterday was the sixth egg/day so I figured I wouldn't have another egg today unless one of the other hens decided to start laying. I collected the mail, checked on the chickens and woah. I pulled out this...

    Morning suprise? Horror?

    Haha if that's only half as big as she'll get, I'm glad I scooted her closer to the neighbors house With the help of a very long broom of course! The thing that freaked me out the most was that I walked past her about 5 times, and I only had about 2 feet available to clear her web with my...

    Morning suprise? Horror?

    After a restless night of attempt sleep, the sun finally rose slowly above the horizon. The sound of my sweet banty roo, crowing atop the car roused me. Time to feed the critters! 1. Banty Roo caught and returned temporarily to the subpar chicken pen. Check 2. Chickens fed and watered. Check...

    What color Maran?

    Thank you all for the info It given me a lot more knowledge on what to do with her if I decided to selectively breed her. I'm still really new to chickens, but so far marans seem to be the breed that's caught my eye. @le neige - I bought her from Wilburs Feed & Seed, from what I understand...

    What color Maran?

    Thank you for the welcome and the response! I'm located near Chico, CA. I actually wasn't going to buy her, but she stood out so much from all the other black chicks that I couldn't resist. I managed to get a better picture of her though, and of her leg feathers. I tried to get her into the...
