I have two Light Brahmas, hens of course, named Biscuit and Gravy...

Great idea on the cards...I will do! I am also hoping that my poster from Manna Pro will be in before my presentation. It has chicken breeds all over it. I am so excited about this!

Thank you so much! I think I am going to print the entire thing off and give each child a page to color. I can't tell you how excited I am about doing this...I think it's really important to educate the children. My chicken experience has been so beneficial for my niece...and me! Eventually...

Hi! In a few weeks, I have offered to do "chicken presentation" at my niece's school...I am so excited. I am going to bring one of my laying hens and a chick to show the children...as well as samples of food, supplements, treats, etc. I am also going to bring photos. I printed off the...

Hi all! Great thread...love all the pics. I'm new to the Light Brahmas, but am really enjoying them! They are incredibly sweet and a lot of fun. I obtained them from our local Rural King and wasn't sure how things would turn out. I did a lot of research on them prior to purchasing and they...

I had an Ameraucana that was damaging the egg on the pointed end. She wasn't eating the egg...thank goodness...once they start eating it, it's nearly impossible to break. I had to trim the pointed end off of her beak...just the tip. She had this weird hooked beak that would be damaging to...

Ahhh...someone in the same boat as myself...sorry bout your luck! I too have an EE that is not laying...frustrating. Although she is only 7 months old, I thought for sure she might be laying by now. Her litter mate started a couple of weeks ago. Face is red...scratching around in the nest...

Hello Rebel! I'm from Southern Indiana...Evansville to be exact...welcome!

Hi and thanks for doing this!!! Can you please add me to the list...Evansville, IN.

My name is Robin and for about a year now, I have been a city chicken farmer...is there such a thing?!?! My girls reside in a chicken tractor that we move around the backyard. Currently, I have four hens...a Red Star Sex Link, named Ruby, a black Silkie mix, named Camile, and two Ameraucanas...

Check out my BYC page!!!

So sorry to hear of your loss. We lost one earlier this year as well. I am a newbie to this as well and was stunned by it. She was about 3 months old and when we looked inside the coop she was just sitting there with her "shoulders" up, kind of hunched over. She would move around and eat and...

Anybody had any problems with the EEs damaging their eggs as they're laying them? Midnight, my black Ameraucana, was pecking her egg...apparently as she was laying it...it was always in the same spot...the pointed end...first end out. As chicks, we noticed that their beaks are more curved and...

I use DE and have been really pleased with it. I don't add it to their food, but I do put it in a cheese-type sprinkler jar and sprinkle it in their coop, throughout their shavings. I used to have a real problem with ants, of course...the chickens weren't interested in eating them, but the DE...

That is a great photo! It's an incredible experience to say the least! I had a Silkie hen go broody in the spring...haven't got a roo so I didn't have any fertile eggs. Some friends gave me 13 to try and hatch. She was so vigilant...even my little banty went broody and decided to join in the...

They got some mealworms, of course...and I also gave them some leftover ham...yikes!

3/4...One more EE to start laying...she is taking forever!!!

Also, make sure to trim the wings before you turn them out of the coop to free-range...only trim one wing on one side. Best wishes!!!

Hi Nicole, Wish I had ur problem...lol! I have two Ameraucanas...one is solid black and the other is blonde with white. The blonde one isn't laying yet, but should be any time. The solid black one is laying and she is laying the pinky/peachy eggs...I was hoping for the blue/green ones!!! I...
