Ok guys!....I have a question. Do any of your chickens lay eggs with random black spots on the yolk? It's only one spot on the yolk of each egg and it isn't every day but we've cracked several eggs that had a small black "spot" that I try to scrape off (and I do because I won't eat anything I...

We've changed from straw to "Playground sand"! I read on several forums that the corse sand is too sharp and can damage their intestinal tract if they eat any of it! The "Playground sand has been great and it so much easier to keep clean! That's been our experience so far! ~David

I'm truly surprised that your chickens don't go in instinctively! Our 4 chooks go in every night like clockwork and all we have to do is shut and lock the door! It's so cute that they put themselves to bed every night! If we had one of the timer doors we wouldn't even have to come home at...

Amy Beth?...the Produce manager said that too many people are too afraid to ask for the scraps! He said they just have to throw them away! It's a waste! We're going back there more often! You have to explain that it's for your chickens! I hope you can take advantage of this perk! ~David and Wendy

Okay....my post didn't seem to work so I changed some of it and "OF COURSE" the first one posted!...Sorry guys for the redundant posts! ~David and Wendy

I'm sure all of you already know it but we didn't until today! While shopping at our local Albertsons grocery store we bought some veggies for our Chooks! The Produce manager heard us talking and said "are you looking for produce for your chickens?". He said that they have veggies that don't...

We're excited because our Australorp "Molly" has laid 4 eggs in the last 4 days and 3 of them had double yolks! We got home from a trip to Newport Beach/Anaheim (our old home before Tracy) and my wife Wendy picked up one of our Chooks before bed and gave her a hug! Ruthie (the Chook)...

Since BigDaddysMom said that she likes putting a face with the name of a poster...Wendy and I put our old faces on our profile picture for a while! We still like posting the Chooks pictures that give us the most pleasure but for now we'll post our faces so you know who you're talking to! While...

Zooweemama (Amy Beth), Wendy and I am also so sorry for the loss of your Canine "Family member"! They really aren't a "Pet" they are a special part of your Family! They are the part that never complains, forgives all your faults and Loves you unconditionally! I've always felt that when a person...

Ron!...we just researched "Plymouth Rocks" and we think that we absolutely do have them! They fit every diescription that is on the internet describing them! Thank ALL of you guys for your help and we now know that we most certainly have "Plymouth Rock Hens"!...lol~David and Wendy

By they way Guys I want to Thank You ALL for your input as Wendy and I really appreciate your help! You guys are GREAT! We'll post any pictures that you need to inform you better of our situation!Thanks again!

Okay guys here are my 20 week old White Chickens! The Black Australorp behind them is a little over a year old and they were purchased from a Farm Supply store that is Family owned and a "Friend of the Family" had her chicks there and she said they were "Leghorns" She said they are Great for up...

Thanks for responding guys but now unless the year old Australorp is lay 2 to 3 eggs a day my "HUGE WHITE LEGHORNS" are laying the small eggs! I'll take a picture for you all to see them and post it soon! They are 20 weeks old this weekend but they are definately larger than the year old...

Well Deb! Our Black Australorp lays an egg a day and our White leghorns are the only other chickens we have! We've JUST found another (3rd) egg out in our garden and unless our Australope is laying 2 eggs a day it HAS to be one of our White Leghorns! We bought the 4 chicks from a local Farm...

Hey Guys!, I know many of you are mainly into eggs for raising chicks but our 4 hens eggs are only for our consumption! Our year old Australorp has been laying for many months but yesterday and today we've discovered a smaller egg next to the larger eggs! Our 3 White Leghorns are only 20 weeks...

We use mainly chopped straw with some pine chips (a very small amount in the coop only)! We like the straw because it's easy to rake out and we have a small "bowl" area behind our Rhododendron's at the very back of our yard where we dump it for compost! We thought at first that it would build...

Ok Wishing4Wings, you've just made my decision for me! We only have 4 Chooks ( 1 Australorp and 3 White Leghorns )! The Australorp is 1 year old and has one wing clipped but my Leghorns are only 16 weeks old! The 3 young ones are actually larger than the older hen! I've thought about clipping...

Thank You Zooweemama and Ron! I appreciate your help! We want to set up a 3 drawer grow box like has been posted on this site but we didn't know where to buy 'Live" mealworms for it! It's so nice to have people here to help you! We really appreciate it! ~David and Wendy
