    Egg colors!

    Im sure this has been asked a thousands times before BUT can eggs change from white to light/ brown? I have 4 laying hens and 1 of them used to very regularly lay white eggs. Either shes not laying and im not picking up eggs often enough or her eggs have turned brown just like the other girls...

    What age to put chicks in with grown chickens?

    I literally just integrated my 10wk olds with the 1 yr olds....did FANTASTIC. I was nervous but (like you) they had constant access to eachother via fencing. Always talking and checking in. Did just great! Very happy. Cant wait till EVERYONE is laying.

Out of 4 dogs 1 is chained up, 2 dont care at all about the chickens and the last one is the killer...

    when will their voices change?

    Id say it depends on breed a little but mine started when she was about 10-12 weeks. It's funny cause it slips out between peeps!

    Orginally thought these 2 were the same...what do you think?

    I know everyone on here has THIS same problem...'but if you want eggs you need a rooster'... really go tell that to my hens that lay me eggs every day with NO roo in sight. ive probably already educated about 20 people on how chickens work.

    Orginally thought these 2 were the same...what do you think?

    The top one gives me eggs regularly so id say she is def a female and the man that sold her to me said a brown leghorn, glad someone else picked up on that one. She is supposedly a year old. The 2nd one is only about 13-14 weeks old. Cant wait to see what she lays especially if shes an EE. I...

    I can not catch this squirrel, HELP!

    Ive tried to get husband to lie in wait on the roof and shoot it but we live in a neighborhood where that probably wouldnt go over too well lol. I really like the bucket idea, ive seen chipmunks drown them selves. Can I use regular sunflower seed oil? Thanks for all the help!

    I can not catch this squirrel, HELP!

    There is a squirrel that has been eating from my garden, cutting down a broccoli plant a day! I have a live trap out there with lots of yummy noms in it but he just passes it by and helps himself to my garden, the hens dont seem to mind this little visitor but I do. How can i get rid of him...

    Very LOUD hen

    Yes, ive heard that suggestd before. No i dont have a roo but ive had her 2 weeks and got her from a man who had a large flock, so i dont really know the situation she came from either. shes also pretty aggressive so that would make sense lol, thanks.
