Wow I thought my Leghorn laid a big one the other day. That's a quarter in my hand next to it.

I got my first tiny egg on the first day this summer that it reached 80+ degrees.

I am getting the most consistent production from my leghorns. They lay large to extra large white eggs almost every day. They don't seem to like the cold though. If you are in a northern state you may want to insulate and heat your coop. My leghorns shut down the egg production from early...

This was overnight accumulation. I am now done with this spot for the season, it's close to a mile in and I can no longer get a game retrieval vehicle in.

Whoever supplies TSC with their chicks stinks at sexing them! I bought 12 Amberlinks that were supposed to be 90% female......7 were roo's!

If I am high jacking the thread I'm sorry. I'm not very good at these forum things, besides it looks like just about anything has been fair game to discuss. I have one of my smaller hens (size not age) getting her head pecked mercilessly. It never gets a chance to heal. When I introduced my...
