    Is this egg from the Olive Egger?

    Thank you! I think you are right and it’s too different layers. However, I have not gotten any other green egg since 5 days ago now, but I got another blue egg today. I also have a camera on the run and I saw the OE spending a lot of time inside the coop followed by an egg song (although another...

    Is this egg from the Olive Egger?

    I have a mixed flock of 6 pullets. The 24 week olive egger started laying last week. She laid 4 eggs of similar color without a skip, and then skipped two days until today, when I found a much more bluish egg (see photos). Could this egg still be from the olive egger? The other pullet I have...

    Safe for chickens to eat celandine poppy?

    I let the chicken out in the yard today for the first time (they are 14 weeks and they live in a fenced-in coop with run). They went crazy for this plant and I cannot find clear information about its toxicity to chickens. Some of the chickens ate several full leaves before I could put them back...

    Thank you @Ted Brown and @rosemarythyme. I feel more confident to finally start adding the windows!

    Max coop ventilation for winter months?

    Thank you so much! Right now I have 2.7 square feet of ventilation plus the chicken door, that can stay open since it will have a secure run. Do you mean opening the wall here? (see photo with rectangle in red). What do you think about adding ventilation to the sides at the top (next photo...

    Max coop ventilation for winter months?

    I am in Kentucky too (Lexington). I was wondering if the permanent ventilation at the top of my coop is enough? The coop is 4 x 6 and it will host 6 chickens. I also plan to cut holes for windows at the front and sides, that I can open in summer months. I cannot make sense what is the right...

    temp/humidity monitoring

    I like monitoring conditions too 😊 I would like to measure continuous temperature and humidity, with a device connected to wifi so I can access the data from my phone. Does anyone have experience with that and recommend any device?

    Thank you! That gives me some peace of mind, since I cannot keep a rooster.

    Sexing my Dominique

    I have a 5-week old Dominique. She started to develop some red coloring in the comb. Can anyone tell already if this is a pullet or cockerel? She also started making what seem like silent crows, but I read in another post that can be normal sometimes in pullets… Any thoughts? I am new to raising...

    Isabella Leghorns

    I have a 5-week old Isabella leghorn and I love her! She is the first one to come to me and most adventurous since day 1. I am just not sure if it might be a cockerel. I hope not! I bought her as a sexed pullet. But she has always been the most brave, dominant, and has a very standing pose. I do...

    Do female chicks silent crow?

    My 5-week Dominique started doing what seems a silent crow. She was supposedly sexed as a pullet. I am reading from the other comments that this could be common in pullets sometimes? I am new to raising chickens and I do not have other Dominiques to compare to. Do you think this is a pullet? The...
