It works if you copy everything but the end img tag and paste it into the URL field.

She can fix it by editing her post and adding the start image tag:

Here's what we got in the last 2 days!! 11 eggs! I can't believe it. WoooHoooo!

If I'm doing something right, I have no idea what it is. (8 out of 13 hens/pullets are laying.) I certainly don't think the weather is the cause. It feels like -20'F out there right now & the temp is still dropping.

The green one is especially GREEN & also big for a 1st egg!




Go Easter-Orp! (Her mama = EE & daddy = lavender Orpington)

I'm hoping I did this right. Wanting to see if anyone could tell the sex of our 5 Easter Egger chicks. They were 3 weeks old on Monday. I know young but we already have one that has a comb that is already 3 distinct rows and reddening...There are 3 that are the lighter chipmunk coloring and 2 darker brown chipmunk coloring. One of the lighter is the one we suspect of being a Roo... Any one else have opinions?

cockerel
The chick right up front is a cockerel, and already has some 'rooster' red coming in.

Good eye. I couldn't tell much at a glance, but when enlarged, I think Junebuggena's guesses are correct. Yes if you can see 3 rows & a slight pink at 3 weeks old, then definitely a male.

I once had a female EE with 3 rows. Not the standard comb; it was x-wide & flat. Not much color to it at 6 weeks old. I gave her away as an unknown gender & she ended up being a great layer for her new family.
