My pullets are 15 weeks old and some are starting to get bright red/bigger combs and waddles. (Mainly my cinnamon queen a couple silver laced wyandotte.) They normally free range all day, but as they get closer to time to lay their first eggs, I would like to know! Should I keep them in the...
This is the crazy story about my first egg ever,so sit back and relax
The whole story started in April when I incubated 12 eggs where 4 of them were heavy bloom,so kinda surprise egg if they were hens they were supposed to lay pink-ish eggs
(there is a photo of the eggs I got and they were...
Hi all!
So as you can see from the title, one of my 5 saphire gem hens just layed her FIRST EGG! I can't believe it! I really thought it would be much later- like when they were 6 months old, however unless TSC was wrong we got out 1-2 day old chicks in the very beginning of march so they are...
So my five little silkie girls have started squatting as of a week or two. I was quite suprised, as they are only 5 1/2 months or so. I can't be sure of who pooped the beautiful nugget, but i know it was one of them. Lulu (my duccle) lays rounder, creamier eggs.

So today my dog, Gimli, and I were chilling out with the chickens and awhile ago I had put golf balls in the nest box to give the gals an idea where to lay once that got to that point. I was watching the chickens and Gimli loves playing fetch with balls so he decided the golf balls would be the...
I am probably more excited than I should be but I just noticed my 5.5 month old Easter Egger, Wrennie, has just assumed the Sumo Squat when I moved my arm over her to pet her. She is the sweetest chicken who just loves to be close to me and will often be happy just hanging out in my lap. So...
I'm so darn exited I've got to tell someone...my Miss Martha, black Australorp hen laid her first and second eggs today! I'd given up on her and Miss Dixie Chick, Americauna. I thought my husband was joking and he thought I bought another fake egg. Then I went to get my phone, wanted to document...
Yesterday, my chick layed her first egg! It was one one tiny brown egg, but I am so proud. She´s been signing the egg laying song, and I was so proud! I love, her and she´s awesome!! We let her free range and she tries to perch on the cats! :thumbsup:love:lau:lau:lau:lau:lau:lau:lau:lau:lau:lau...
One of the three pullets we added to our flock this spring had her first egg, one with a beautiful shape and color.
