Yes I've heard that all animals act wierd before an earthquake. We are apparently the only animals left on the planet that are mostly clueless about this sort of thing.

Hi Steff! Our vacation was amazing! We met some wonderful folks and really enjoyed the trip! There are some vacation pics here https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=253930&p=428 if anyone would like to take a look. We had a relaxing trip, as planned, with plenty of...
Boy can I empathize with the Morning Glory issue! Here in Reno they don't take over so they work really well but I planted them in San Jose and not only did they take over but they kept coming back stronger and more spread out for a couple of years! It took a lot of back labor to get those...

Yes, I keep hearing how bad flip flops are for us but I just love mine! I even wear them when it's freezing out once in awhile (always sorry when I do though ). They are just so darn easy to slip on and off! But...

I've never tried hatching a double yolker but from what I've read they don't develop correctly. They are fine to sell as eating eggs though. My customers get such a kick out of opening an egg and seeing 2 yolks!

Thanks Sunny And Jeremy! I hope that is true about the Wheatons...the darker one seems to have a double row of comb, with bumps all up it and the other has a single raised comb, so I'm afraid the one might be a dude. The Buff I am almost positive is a dude (wide comb, double row) and...

YEA!!!
Finally! Yes he let me know yesterday that she had finally laid an egg. How exciting!!!

Yep, Jeremy's right! Looks like 2 wheaten pullets!
As for size, the silvers are a smaller variety so your baby is perfectly normal. Don't know about...

I agree with Kim on the silvers. Looks like a pair. Cosette looks like a girl to me too but give it a few more days. You will know for sure in a week! Course I'm always in denial about which ones are boys vs girls so I'm not the best person to depend on for answers regarding gender...

Ok give me a couple of minutes to upload some of my pics...
Silver boys...
Silver girls (although the boys and girls both look like this to start).
A wheaten pair. The boys are much darker by 3 and a half weeks. These pics were taken today so they are around 4 weeks old. Blue...

Hi Caitlin. I need to thin my flock a little and I do have blue/green egg layers. I have a black ameraucana hen that lays a pretty blue egg that needs a home. She has a clean face so I can't use her in my breeding program plus I have a couple of EEs that could be rehomed. They are...

BUMMER!!! I just had the tests yesterday but I had no surprises. Everything I thought I was allergic to was there. OMG the first 5 minutes after applying the serums I thought I was going to lose it! I would have paid a fortune for a back scratcher!!!
I had allergy shots about...

My FBCMs hatched a day later than my Ameraucanas and my EEs. One hatched a day and a half later. Also they don't like temp fluctuations at this stage so I just left the other babies in the incubator over night while I was waiting for my FBCMs to make an appearance. Out of 8 eggs that...

My 20 year old too! He had a Barney doll that he took everywhere with him! He asked me now how I could have let him out of the house with that thing! He has no idea!!! I hated Barney but couldn't get that doll away from him! A friend of mine finally said "Sunny it's ok if you hate...

How cute is that!!! And I love the name! My 19 yr old 6 ft 4 in. son loved Barney when he was little and insisted on wearing purple every day. He gives me no end of grief over that now. But it wasn't my choice at the time!

Thanks!
I love having the babies outside too, as much as I like having them close to us inside... sleeping at night is much easier without constant peeping.
I bet! We have turned the spare bedroom into a nursery...
