Hi, glad things are going well for you, for the most part. Unfortunately it can be hard to figure out which hen is laying which egg. The best way to do it is to just be in there while they're laying, and see what egg comes out of what hen. :P
I'm sorry you've been having trouble with your birds. Posting a thread in the emergencies forum here is your best bet for getting help. Best of luck to you, and I hope your girls recover.
Hi @586victoria, thanks for checking in! My goodness, that is a lot of eggs! What on earth do you do with them all? Ooo, I like the recycled coops. Do you have any photos? I'd love to see them.
Your rooster is gorgeous! I hope he protects your flock from the hawk. Hope you enjoy your colored eggs! I love having a bunch of egg colors in my flock, it really makes it more interesting and fun.
Sounds exciting! I have a broody hen currently as well, and she's super persistent. Another is on the verge of becoming broody, and I'm hoping she holds off for another few days, because she lays beautiful blue eggs, and is so nasty when she's setting...Country life is interesting, for sure...
Hi, thanks for popping in! Spring sure can be brutal sometimes. I'm thankful that here in Washington it's mostly sorted itself out, and the hens sure are happy! Hope your weather warms up soon, and enjoy your new birds!
Nice to hear from you! I'm not sure what you're looking for in a breed of chicken, but some of my favorites for looks are Wyandottes and Speckled Sussex. Brahmas are also gorgeous, but can get huge! Be sure to post some photos if you end up getting chicks. We love chick pics around here. ;)
Thanks for stopping by! That barn looks perfect for a coop, though it'll probably need a few modifications. Icelandics are a great breed, and they're very tough little chickens. Hope to see you around more, and don't hesitate to ask for advice when you get your birds!
I'm so sorry for your loss. :hugs Your new boys sound pretty challenging. Honestly, I would get rid of those guys, either put them in the freezer or sell them to someone else to put in their freezer. Having to protect yourself every time you go out there is no fun. You may not want to get rid of...
