    How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

    Yay!! We got our first egg today! This morning at around 10:15, there was quite a commotion in the run and when my son went out to check that everyone was ok, he found this beautiful red egg in one of the egg boxes. We're not sure, but think it was laid by Cinnamon, who is the most visually...

    How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

    Some day, my girls will start to lay eggs. Today wasn't that day. Good thing I love them as pets and getting eggs is only a bonus for me.

    New Hampshire hens or Delaware hens

    I just responded to another of your posts, but thought I should mention here that my (accidental) Delaware is a total sweetheart. Honeysuckle is gentle and mostly calm, although she's a bit on the adventurous side (she was the first one that I saw of our flock to spend time on the swing, even...

    What chicken breed best gets along with Brahmas and Orpingtons

    Are you planning a small flock, or a bigger one? That may make a difference when it comes to how they all get along. I personally have a small flock, only five girls in total. At the beginning of September, I purchased four babies: a buff Orpington, an Easter Egger, a brown sex link and a...

    What breed do you think Nugget is?

    Oh, I'm not expecting any eggs from my new girls until maybe May. Thanks for the help!

    Please let me babies all be pullets!

    Ok, it's been a while since I last posted. I'm no longer worried that Honey is a he but I'd still like to have an idea of her breed (since she's not the brown sex-link she was sold as). Here's an updated pic, as well as a cute snap with two of her flock mates (Cinnamon, the actual sex-link...

    What breed do you think Nugget is?

    Ooh, so that means we can expect some colorful eggs? So exciting! All we've had so far are brown Orpington eggs, so variety will be great.

    What breed do you think Nugget is?

    Nuggets is about 6 months old, is not yet laying eggs, but has the cutest fluffy face. Any idea what breed she might be?

    Honey hurt her leg

    My girls had bands on their legs as babies since they all looked pretty much the same. Since then, things have changed greatly! I need to get pics of them all so I can show them off. I'd do it now but the sun's already down and it's too dark. Honeysuckle is white with gray speckles. She was...

    Honey hurt her leg

    Here's a follow up pic of Honey's leg. Yes, it still has a bit of a scab on it, but it has filled in the gouge completely. Her limp is almost imperceptible now, and while she still tends to stand on her right leg with the left foot elevated, I've noticed the others do the same (favoring one...

    Honey hurt her leg

    So, I coated Honey's sore with petroleum jelly and wrapped gauze around it then used some medical tape to hold it in place. The tape I used is a bright poison green (since that's what I had) and has had the effect that everyone is leaving her leg completely alone (I was worried it would attract...

    Honey hurt her leg

    What do you recommend I use to wrap it? I have some cotton gauze that would probably be fine but I'm still quite new to things and don't want to make things worse accidentally. Being able to see the bone is part of why I wonder if she picks at herself at night since it wasn't like that...

    Honey hurt her leg

    Honey (nearly 4 months old) used to have a plastic leg band on but about a week ago, it got caught and scraped up her leg as seen in the attached picture. We obviously immediately removed the band and I cleaned the sore as well as I could using sterile saline solution. I didn't know what else...

    Please let me babies all be pullets!

    Oh I hope so! We're not zoned for roos and I'd hate to have to get rid of one of these sweet chicklings.

    Please let me babies all be pullets!

    If he/she isn't a sex link, what might he/she be? What does a picture need to show to give you a good idea? Can you tell I'm new at this?

    Please let me babies all be pullets!

    Yep, that stupid picture didn't work. Here's some more.

    Please let me babies all be pullets!

    We got four chicks from our local Cal-Ranch store 7 weeks ago. There's supposed to be a buff Orpington, an Americauna, and two brown Sex-links. As they've grown, I can tell that Caramel is definitely a Buff Orpington (we've had two of them previously). Nugget is the Americauna. My biggest...

    Just lost my first chicken

    Hurray! We got new babies today. They're only 2 weeks old so we can't introduce them to Marmalade yet, but we have plans on how to do that in a month or so. The picture isn't very good because of the heat lamp but I'll try to post a better one when it's not dark outside. Nugget is the...
