    First Egg Countdown

    Quote: I came home for lunch and my BO was in the nest box laying her first egg! She'll be 22 weeks on Tuesday, so 21 1/2 weeks about. Took her sweet time since she's been squatting for three weeks now! All you have to do is stand next to her and she'll squat for you!

    How old was your EE when she laid her first egg?

    Mine was my first layer at 20 weeks. She laid every other day the first week and ever since then has laid 3-4 days in a row before taking a day off! I didn't think she would be such a good layer.

    using golf balls for nesting boxes?

    Quote: Our one laying hen did the same thing! It was so cute to see her tuck the plastic easter egg under her with her beak.

    Yard bugs

    Everytime I pick up their waterer to fill it up there are usually a few earwigs underneath it. They love eating them!

    First Egg Countdown

    Yippee! Our first egg, laid by Opal the EE. She is two days shy of 20 weeks. She started squatting just a few days ago and yesterday I saw her going in and out of the nest box a few times. Yesterday I also gave them tuna and bought some crickets at the pet store for them. Must have done the...

    First Egg Countdown

    I can't remember if I posted in this thread or not! I have four 18 1/2 week old pullets and I'm happy to report that today the Buff Orpington started squatting! They've also been chowing down oyster shell like it's skittles. I figure that's a good sign that they're craving calcium. I also have...

    which breeds are the friendilst

    Another vote for Buff Orpingtons! We have a BO, a Speckled Sussex, and EE, and a GLW. After the Orpington, the SS is the next most friendly.

    What age does the peeping turn to clucking?

    My EE started clucking first at 10 weeks. At 11 weeks now the BO is clucking and the SS clucks half the time. The other two are still peeping and are 9 weeks old.

    Teenagers eat more than full grown chickens?

    Thanks for the replies! I'm having trouble with the darn dog. I like to let the chickens out into the yard to free range during the day. If I leave the door to their coop open the dog goes in and has a chicken poop and apparently chicken feed buffet. I don't want to lock them out of the coop in...

    Teenagers eat more than full grown chickens?

    My chicks are 8 and 10 weeks old now, there are four LFs and one bantam cochin. I've heard that a fully grown hen will eat a pound of feed a week. Well my five chickens are eating about a pound a day! Is this normal? I have caught my dog chowing down on their feed a few times, is it likely that...

    At what age is the pecking order pretty much figured out?

    Quote: Our buff orp is the head hen too! I thought it was because she's so big.

    Protecting my flock! *-WARNING GRAPHIC IMAGES-*

    Where I live you can actually get in trouble for saving possum babies. The newspaper did an article a couple years ago on a woman who was getting the babies out of roadkill possum's pouches and raising them up and releasing them. She got fined from animal control after the article came out for...

    Spring 2011 RAISE-A-LONG!

    My chickies are four and six weeks old now. We finally got the coop done and this evening when my fiance gets off work we're going to move it from the garage to the yard. It's still in the 40's here at night, so for now the chicks are going to be out in the coop during the day and inside the...
