They did start to turn pale when it got cooler, although we haven't truly had winter here in KS. They have not molted and have not been wormed.

Everything seems normal. Everyone is eating well, pooping well and their laying has slowed like I expected. No mites or other bugs. The flock will be a year old in March.

Most of my hens have bright red combs and wattles, but a few are a dull pink. What's going on?

Thank you, everyone, for your great advice!

I have read from many sources not to let your flock be subject to drafts, but that they need lots of fresh air. Our coop is situated with the door and windows (covered with hardware cloth) on the East and West sides of the coop. The wind here in Kansas, which everyone knows is blowing a lot of...

Good job! You have a lot more guts than I have! We are in the country, so we are allowed to have roosters. Out of 12 "pullets" we ended up with on roo, named "Tulip" because we thought he was a girl. He's quite large now and very handsome; I'm thinking he's Fair material! Anyway, he will...

Quote: Most of mine are a tinted pink color to a medium brown.

I 'll remember that - thanks!

Quote: I don't have one yet, but I found one on EBay for about $40. I would really like to get started decorating eggs! Thanks for your reply!

My hens all lay like that when they are enjoying their dust bath. They take turns bathing, probably based on pecking order.

Definitely a hen - I have 11 of them! The feet certainly look hennish; my BR Roo has HUGE feet and he's half again as big as your Lola.

What kind of air compressor do you use? Would one for airbrushing work?

My chickens got a new Flock-Block. They love to peck at it and roost on it!

I like shooting. My husband just bought me a DPMS AR-15 (an M4gery because it doesn't have the switch to full-auto). I also love to knit and have devotions with my dear friends from church.

Beautiful birds! I raised 6 Silver Laced until they were old enough to patrol our co-op garden. We had no hoppers and now have 6 lovely, hearty birds!

Got a .22? I suggest you sneak up on him and shoot him in the head. There are too many good roosters to entertain bad ones. Make sure you lop off his head afterward and hang him upside down for awhile.

...when you're visiting friends with chickens, you find yourself automatically checking the food and water!

I appreciate that use use proper grammar and spelling! Not doing so is an insult to the reader. Keep up the good work!

Quote: My chickens have never had live mealworms, anyway! I think just an oatmeal container with oatmeal or cornmeal would be perfect! Please let me know how much you want for them!

My hens just started laying and we are now getting 4 per day. Eventually I would like to build a clientele and sell my eggs. I just don't know what to charge for the eggs! Large brown eggs go for $3.18 per dozen at the store. I think farm fresh eggs are better than storebought and $3.50 to...
