    Introducing pullets question

    I have 2 pullets who are 12 weeks old. I have two barred rock hens who are over 2 years old. We had three but one died so we bought two more. 4 weeks ago I created a fenced in area for our run with a temporary coop made out of an old tote. I removed the barrier this weekend. One of the...

    Making sure this isnt a roo

    This chicken is about 11 weeks old. It was sold as a red star at fleet farm who gets their chicks from hoovers. Their red stars are more red and black then red and white based on their website. https://hoovershatchery.com/Red-Star this chicken looks similar to their website. It doesn't have...

    Rustic Rock

    From what I've heard hoovers only sells them to stores and not through website. She's a pretty well natured bird and having chickens a few years am really interested in the cross. Mine looks like the sign at fleet farm with the whiter neck and head. I'm imagining a barred rooster over...

    Rustic Rock

    Hello, this is my 7 to 8 week old rustic rock bought from fleet farm which gets chicks from hoovers. It looks like a barred rock with much more white in front neck and head. We got it as I let each kid pick out one when one of ours died early summer. I'm pretty certain it's a pullet based on...

    How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

    I got three barred rocks the first week in June. In December 2 of the 3 were laying. In January 1 of three, my best layer kept laying through winter. Finally this week my last layer finally laid, and got two the last two days. Hopefully the one who took winter break will start again soon.

    Frozen Eggs?

    We finally had a really cold day today, and I got home from work to my typical 2 eggs. Happy they're laying in these short days, but the eggs were very cold, and potentially froze. If they freeze, is there any issues with using them? Storing them? Want to make sure as this could be a problem...

    How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

    All three are barred rocks. My first chickens and wanted them to be similar and wanted everything to be as consistent as possible. When I expand I plan on trying some new breeds potentially.

    How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

    For the first time 2!. Got three pullets at start of June. One started laying 6/7 days a week in October. The other two kind of stalled, and I was thinking it was seasonal. However, in last week, the smallest one, the one I thought would lay last, grew out her comb and waddles practically...
