Hey, folks, I have 14 hens, all born right near the end of March: 5 Buff Orpingtons, 4 Easter Eggers (sold as Auracanas!), 3 Rhode Island Reds, and 2 Black Australorps. One easter egger has been laying olive colored eggs nearly every day for the last three weeks, and today I found a brown egg...

Hey, folks, So we've been waiting, waiting for our first eggs. Near the end of March, we got a bunch of baby chicks: 5 Buff Orpingtons, three Rhode Island Reds, two Black Australorps, and four Araucanas, which have since been re-identified as Easter Eggers. Waited and waited. Finally, one of...

Can't attest to the verity of this one, but I found it fascinating: Anchovies are the reason chicken is so abundant in America. "You see, back in the 1920s and 30s, chicken breast cost as much as steak. Meanwhile a bunch of fishermen off the coast of South America were catching tons and tons...

Hey, folks. Just got my first chickens. I'm keeping a log of my coop build, and created it as a 'member page.' Is there something I need to do to make it visible, or get it listed somewhere? Sorry for the silly question, but I've only been on the site a few days. Anyway, here it is if you're...

Hey, folks, So I just brought home our first chicks: five Buff Orpington, four Black Australorps, and three Araucanas. They are just what was available at the farm supply, and were sold as sexed, not straight run. But now, doing my research here, I've read that true Araucanas are pretty rare...
