Beautiful pics!!!

Eugenie Beatrice

Farmer friends of ours have a 10 year old daughter in charge of the chickens, and she does very well with her egg business. They just started the timer on their light for 5:30 a.m.; they swear by it.

Thank you everyone on the replies. Now I need to go look up what a sex link is!

We started raising chicks when my boyfriend purchased a dozen chicks in April of this year from Tractor Supply. He wasn't sure what they all were, and neither am I. All our eggs are brown, but I haven't figured out who is laying them yet. We get 7 a day from these 10 that we still have from the...

I have been interested to know this also. I have too many though to tell who is laying what. I thought they would all lay at the same time (age) but I get 7 eggs a day from 13 chickens. Well 10 to be exact since 3 are younger than the rest and not old enough.

I have seen/heard various thoughts on this. I'm anxious to see how our chickens (and eggs) fare. We built our coop with vents in the eaves - cold will definitely come in, but we had heard that was healthier for the chickens to have vents than to be cooped up with none.

I didn't see this until now, but I concur, nothing better than a fresh egg! It was so exciting when we got our first egg this summer! Currently we get about 7 a day from our 13 hens.

This is probably like the blind leading the blind, since I am so new, but I noticed that happen several times, and eventually it stopped happening. You should have seen some of them! Very bizarre, some with a very uneven shell (like rings around it). Glad that stopped! I also don't know why...

Yes, my boyfriend ran an extension cord out to our coop and installed a light on a timer, to turn on at 5:30 a.m. None had started molting or gone broody so I think we're good?

My silkies never get picked on, they're beautiful, and fun to watch. Very soft. I had often read they were super friendly, but I have found mine to not be very social, whereas others will come up to me and are easily picked up, the silkies almost have to be chased into a corner before they will...

Thank you everyone for the hello's. Wow, I had no idea that so many people would take the time to comment! Thanks again, neat community.

Neat! Thanks for posting!

My boyfriend surprised me with so many chicks (and two ducklings) at the same time, I couldn't dream of naming them all, and couldn't tell them apart! Now, they are slowly getting personalities and that makes it easier. So I have a Napoleon -- he's a banty rooster who is definitely in charge of...

Hello from Perinton, NY. Just starting out with chickens for the first time ever, and live in the suburbs. Luckily, I have a man in the house who liked the idea and has done the majority of the tough stuff (I'm still in physical therapy for shoulder surgery, but besides that, he has all the...
