What are spitzhaubens? Pic please

DH was reading this over my shoulder and was convinced that "Spitzhauben" was German for "excrement occurs". I had to do a google translate for him to convince him otherwise. Lol silly boy.

I have three chickens: barred rock, Easter egger, and a buff Orpington. I got them all on April 7, 2013. They were a few days old the. Well the buff Orpington has yet to lay an egg. The other two have been laying for about a month now. Is this normal for the buff Orpington?

I don't have any Orpingtons, but everything I've read says around 6 months or 20 - 24 weeks if that helps.

Good morning folks

It's the beginning of a new week. It seems we are
having a warm fall but I don't mind since that means
a longer growing season......the green beans are still
producing.....haven't managed to get in peas yet but
I have hopes. I'm thinking of putting some tomato
clippings into some 5 gl buckets and putting those
into our little greenhouse for a winter crop.

hope everyone has a good day

Good Morning everyone!! I hope those of you who went to WCA had a great time (that is IF WCA is still up and running...is it year round? I couldn't remember)!! Chickens and ducks are doing well. I am SAD to report that since we have discovered the "nest" of our ducks...they have since moved on to a new location. BOO!! I have someone who wants ducklings and I can't give them any...LOL maybe next year - you know, once I get my incubator for Christmas!

Busy week planned for us as I am taking all 3 kiddos to the beach later on this week. It will be the 2nd time for the oldest (and myself) but a first time for the rest of them. VERY excited to see their reaction - I just wish daddy was able to come...stupid work (then again...VERY blessed by that work which allows me to have a chicken/duck addiction and stay at home with my babies)!!
If anyone nearby has kids (sorry, this is for the non-furry kind, the human ones) and is in need of items, there is a consignment sale at the Smithfield Livestock Arena this coming Saturday!! I'm hoping to go!!

Have a great day everyone!!
