    Cream legbar, our first egg!

    I was observing the squatting behavior for a few days and then yesterday noticed Lucy's vent looked a little different... Fast forward to today. She kept going back in the coop alone and putting nest straw around a favorite place even occasionally settling in for several minutes in the indent...

    How close do you think she is?

    My buff Orpington is 23 weeks and started squatting almost two weeks ago. Her sister laid a week after starting squatting. What's your guess on when she will lay? so excited! 😊

    Please, tell me they get quieter after they have laid their first half dozen eggs? I have nine hens 21.5 weeks old. White Leghorns. The first egg came with a lot of noise about two weeks ago. The daily quantity slowly increased with the noise. Yesterday I had seven eggs. And the racket has...

    One of the girls FINALLY did it!!

    She laid her first egg! I've hatched birds before but it's always SO EXCITING when you get your first egg. I honestly thought she was a rooster for a while due to her colors, and I thought another one of my hatched birds would be the first to lay. My rooster was breeding this one this morning...

    So Egg-citing!

    Long story short, came home to my first egg today!! So exciting! Due to the wildfires here in Oregon, the air quality has been abysmal and we brought the girls into the laundry room in a make shift container on Tuesday. Yesterday one of my girls was acting super weird and she just looked...

    Pekin laid her first egg, I have questions.

    I have two Pekin ducks. They are about 5 months old. Today I went to change their water and feed them and I found that one of them had laid an egg but it was broken in half. Is this normal for them to break their first egg. Could it have been the other duck that broke it?

    First Egg!

    At 19 weeks and 2 days our Cuckoo Marans laid her first little perfect pullet egg(first one ever for us)! She was going in and out of the nesting box yesterday afternoon so I knew it was soon. We have a mixed flock and she is not the first one I thought would lay! Found it in our under-run in...

    What symptoms do White Pekin ducks show when they are about to lay their first egg?

    I have two younger white pekin ducks, each about 4-4 1/2 months old. I am pretty sure they are both females, based on their quacks and feathers. One of the ducks the other day started dripping a clear-ish liquid from her bottom. Today she got in her kiddy pool and kept lifting her bottom up. You...

    First time out a DOUBLE!

    This is my first time raising chickens. I noticed that one of my 4 girls, Dexi, was getting kinda fluffy in the butt and her face was coloring nicely. She is only 124 days old today. Still, I put the nesting box on the coop this Sunday afternoon. Dexi started going in and trying it out for...

    Has anyone ever drained any of their hen's first eggs and saved it?

    I decided to drain my first egg from my current flock, spray a clear coat of spray-paint on it, and keep it. Has anyone else done anything like this? (Also I'm attaching a pic of said egg.)

    Hello! When I went to clean the henhouse today I found that half the henhouse was speckled with blood. There was blood all around the night roosting area, the walls and over the wood shavings between the roosting area and the pop door. One chicken was covered in blood speckles in its face and...
