A couple days ago I was surprised with 2 Easter eggs! And then got 2 more yesterday! I've not-so-patiently waited for my Easter eggers to start laying for the last 24 weeks and it's finally happening🤣 I could not contain my excitement lol
So as some of you know, back in February I got 6 orpingtons and 6 olive eggers from Tractor Supply. Out of the 6 olive eggers, one of them was very different from the other 5. I thought maybe Smoky was just a different mix of olive egger but now I'm not so sure. The reason being, for the past 3...
So I went out to the chicken coop probably about an hour and a half ago. While I was out there, I checked for eggs (there were none) and cleaned out their water container... I noticed one of my olive egger pullets acting funny... she was being very vocal and going back and forth from the water...
So the obvious brown egg was laid 2 days ago and this lavender looking egg I found today. I almost didn't see it because it blended in kinda well with the pine shavings. As far as I know, I have only 1 chicken out of 20 that's laying eggs but they have been consistently brown. Hopefully you can...
We put nesting boxes up last week, coincidently the same day she laid her first egg. But, she is laying her eggs underneath the nesting boxes. The nesting boxes are lower than the roosting bars but still off the ground. We used 12×12 milk crates. I put nesting box pads down and put pine shavings...
Yall, I'm so so so excited!! One of our lavendar orpingtons laid an egg this morning! (my son found it, it was hiding😅) It's our first ever egg and I couldn't be more happy. I can't wait for the weeks to come and hopefully will see more eggs in the near future😍💚 it's so funny though because i...
The reason I'm asking for help on gender is because my buffs are much more different from my lavendars. My lavendars, you can clearly tell who is a pullet and who is a cockerel. The pullets have very small, pale combs, and my cockerel has a large bright red comb like my buffs do and also much...
So I have 24 chickens, I know I have at least 2 cockerels. I will have to take a picture of the other 2 to show yall, if yall could help me figure out if they are cockerels too or pullets. Anyway, this one cockerel who is a buff orpington, has been a bit aggressive towards me. Everyday when I...
Sooo a little over 6 weeks ago we got 3 Lavender Orpingtons, 3 Buff Orpingtons, and 6 Olive Eggers... my question is, did we actually get olive eggers or something different cause idk anymore lol 5 of them are that black and white color and then there's Smokey, who is grey.... I am pretty new to...
Ok so, my FIL brought us some chickens today, all I know is that they are female and 6 weeks old... when my FIL called the guy to ask what breed they are, he basically said he didn't know and that he keeps them caged to make them fat... they are looking pretty rough and when we put them in the...
Yall... we went in to TSC yesterday to just start buying supplies we needed to get baby chickens... well, we went to see what chickens they had and they had a huge selection of different breeds and had the chicks that we wanted so we got them while we were there lol... can you guess what breeds...
Hello everyone, these chickens adopted us... not sure where they came from but they've been here for almost a month and we've been feeding them and well, they never left.😅 I think both of them are roosters but I'm pretty sure at least one of them are because it crows in the morning/evening (the...
