I wonder what the thinking was that you 'need a rooster'. Because you certainly don't need one for your hens to lay eggs. If I wasn't breeding chickens, I wouldn't bother keeping one.

Ha Ha the person NEEDED to give one away.

BTW I posted the feathersite link for those who are new to raising chickens. I bet the oldies already are aware of the site as a wonderful source of information and amusement

Too many at his house so giving them away ............. "oh, okay..." I don't keep a rooster - not because of neighbors or HOA or anything like that - just my preference.

Sooo.... I left a magazine on a lawn chair and my chickens dicided to shred it and eat some of it. Well actually most of it. Really weird because this is the first thim I have seen them do this. So far chickens are fine,but should I discard the next few days of eggs?

It sure has been cold here in AZ the last few weeks. I'm running extra light, and getting around 9/10 lately.
But man is it cold. I've just about destroyed 2 cords of wood already, and might have to buy some more.

Happy New Year to you too!

Ours didn't get a special breakfast, but they got fried rice as a treat for dinner last night.

Is anyone in this group in the Reddit backyard chickens page? There is someone in Phoenix looking to rehome their whole flock b/c of a move:

I posted and suggested the AZ thread but who knows...when we moved from AZ to GA we moved our flock with us, but that takes a special kind of crazy.

Hello, I have both Welsummer and Black Copper Marans pullers, and for the last few days I have been getting some chocolate colored eggs with black spots all over them. I know that Marans have the dark colors, but the welsummers have the sports. Does anyone have any ideo on who has been laying?
