    Do pullets smell like eggs before they lay?

    This is actually a serious question. I realize most folks don't sniff thier birds often but surely I'm not the the only parent with a chicken cuddling kid. Does the scent of a chicken change when they are getting ready to lay? Because my son is right, our white leghorn smell different from the...

    Do pullets smell like eggs before they lay?

    My son was playing with our hens yesterday and noticed that while most of them smell like their feed our leghorn smells like eggs. Since animals tend to smell like what's going on inside them my guess is this means she's getting ready to lay. Anyone else notice this? Whatever it means it...

    surrealist chicken coop

    The wiki answer is short and sweet but its pretty incomplete. Steampunk is also an art and lifestyle movement. I do a steampunk club night and I have an explanation on the club's website, with four videos that really help answer the question and are pretty entertaining. If, after you watch the...

    Do you change the shavings?

    By law you need to clean your coop once a week in San Diego. I let hay in the run go but the shavings I clean about once a week.

    Would you pay $500.00 for this? UPDATE WITH PICS - POST #23!

    I think you'd be hard pressed to build a coop like that for less than $300. Its a darn fancy coop for the money. If you aren't that into building things. Go for it.

    San Diegian starting a new urban homestead.

    I just looked them up. Right now I've got one Rhode Island Red, two Ameracunas, two White Leghorns, and a Buff Orpington. Basically, I figured I'd try out every breed my favorite nursery had and figure out what I liked over the next few years.

I have blog about...
