Is it possible for a hen to lay two eggs in a day?!? Forgot to mention here that I found two eggs from our one-year-old GL Wyandotte yesterday afternoon in her usual nesting spot. She's the only one we've got who lays a tan egg, she's been laying in the same spot all summer, and I am 99.999999999% sure I collected her egg on Tuesday, so the only explanation is that she laid two in a day. She started laying back in the spring and I know she hasn't missed a single day of laying since at least early July, but two? Seems a bit much, poor dear. No wonder she's always eating, LOL!

So - sadly - as I was sitting with our new bunch of chicks I noticed that 2 have the "crooked beak" =( One baby isnt too bad its a slight difference, the other is a lil more so....So far that I see they are doing ok - the feeder & waterer is deep enough so they are getting food.

I'm wondering if the hatcheries are trying to pump these babies out too quickly - or was just a issue with their stuff. I know I read that it's more common than what people think, but our last bunch didnt have that, but this bunch does. Other sad part is its my moms Silkies that have it =(

Hello everyone!! It's been a busy summer for me and I haven't been around here much so I hope everyone here is doing well. I just had to come in and say that I got my first eggs this morning!!

4 eggs from 5 birds, all on the same day. It's like they synchronized their clocks or something LOL.

We have 3 sweet and lovely hand-raised 14 week old hens (an Americauna, a Welsummer, and a Speckled Sussex). With tremendous regret, we have to move cross-country and have purchased a home in an area that does not allow "non-domestic" animals. Do you have some suggestions as to where we can find our hens a new home in the Seattle area?

Thank you =)

So... I thought I'd share a kid picture where even CR *might* find something he could relate to.

Hi guys !
Well most of you know I ripped the quadracepts & all ligaments in the nasty left knee AGAIN....3 times now.
So, I have been laid up but still doing the bank paperwork and today I am almost ready...still need to get 2 blueprint copies, 2 mo bank statements and a few other do-bies to submit to the bank.
But building HIGH estimate seems to be $65K..not a bad mortgage at all.
That will be what we must qualify for, and then what we actually use to finish the house will be what is financed & become our mortgage.
Hope you are all doing great !!!

Chookies are domestic !
Alot of places call them "Farm Animals" though.
