    I expect green shells but green yolks?

    No and I wish I had. I'll keep the camera in the kitchen to catch one. Although I have no clue how to include a picture in a post... For the last month, because I wasnt sure why this was happening, we have been wasting the eggs and keeping track of the ratio of how many yellow to green yolks...

    I expect green shells but green yolks?

    I was too "chicken" to try to eat the eggs that way though the vet said off colored eggs are often sold as B grade eggs to large food manufacturers. Our customer indicated her father ate one and didnt notice any difference in flavor. (brave soul!)

    This morning when I opened the door to my chicken coop... and there he stood. The biggest, meanest, and nastiest red fox with my favorite big, puffy, bunny slippers in his mouth! I ran for my sling shot! And beaned him right in the kisser. He yelped and barked as I reloaded one more bean. Then...

    3 dead chickens, only 1 left

    Hello Shady, What type of building are they in? Could something be getting inside through the floor, roof or walls of the building? Our first year of chickening...(if chickening is not a word it should be ) we started with 12 and dwindled no matter what we tried, down to 1. Fox, bobcat...

    Best filler material for nesting/egg boxes

    I was thinking a square of plywood with a support to stand on the back (kind of like a picture frame). I am hoping that this would be a temporary routine, only until they learn to sleep on the roosts. What do you think?

    Best filler material for nesting/egg boxes

    Ok so, I leaned a square of plywood across the box openings. The girls (and boy) MOVED the wood in order to sleep in the boxes. I will have to find something heavier, or resign myself to changing the bedding everyday. I am really tired of cleaning a dozen poopy eggs everyday.

    OOH good idea. THe roost you showed looks very much like what we have in the coop already. I'll try covering the boxes tomorrow night. Can't wait to see if it works. Im already comfy and dont feel like getting dressed to walk on the icy road to barn tonight! Thanks for the good idea.

    Best filler material for nesting/egg boxes

    We converted one of the stalls in our barn to be the "Winter coop" The boxes are way off the ground with a wide ladder of perches leading up to them. Even though there are perches and bedding on the floor, the chickens (and the Roo) will bunch up together to sleep hanging out of the boxes...

    Best filler material for nesting/egg boxes

    Hello I'm new to the forum as of today. My first few posts have been in response to games...not really serious chicken buisness... We've had chickens for 3 years now, all Easter Egg chickens (gotta love those blue and green eggs!) On the floor inside the coop we use shavings, and inside the...
