Thank you for posting that link. I also am being annexed into Kirkland. The brochure that came out with the new regulations for annexed areas does not say anything about animals whatsoever. I am not going to call them and alert them to the fact that I have many chickens. I am afraid that if they...

I have about 20 chicks, all of whom are healthy except for 2 who are not. One has labored breathing but does not pant through her beak. I can see her neck puff up each time she breathes. The other one is slightly wheezy and sometimes clicks and is sometimes panting a little. Both chicks are...

She looks exactly like our Silver Phoenix. Is she young? Ours has a bigger tail. Ours is named Tofu, because she is my daughter's and my daughter is a vegetarian. She lays the most eggs of any hen when her small size is considered. She gets broody fairly regularly and is very tame and sweet.

I can certainly see your point. We actually live in unincorporated King County and there are horses and other chickens in our neighborhood, and also a rooster down the street that no one complains about. So we are in a more rural area, but definitely not out in the country. I just don't want to...

Thanks. I am planning to keep him in the garage at night long-term to keep him from bothering the neighbors.

I have a 3-month old Barred Cochin Bantam rooster who sleeps in the garage with 2 other roosters who he is growing up with. He is the head rooster. We adore him. The roosters get along fine so far. We have 6 hens of assorted sizes of the same age, who are in a little coop/run outside waiting to...

[/img] Please adopt my rooster, Cute Baby. He is about 11 weeks old. Barred Cochin Bantam. He crows too much for our urban neighborhood. Free to good home. Very cute rooster. Seattle area.

I e-mailed them. I hope they will follow through. We are currently raising 6 straight run bantams from the local feed store, 5 of which are roosters that I will have to find homes for!! It is really more expensive to raise a bunch of roosters than to pay more up front for pullets. It is...

7 weeks old, purchased at the feed store, batch of mixed straight run bantams, so we guessed at her breed. So far, if this is a rooster, we got 1 pullet out of 8 chicks purchased!! Not too good. How do you get bantam pullets without raising all of these roosters? I can try to post a picture of...

Anyone experienced with this breed want to guess? "She" does not act like a rooster so far.

Your chick looks just like what we have and it was sold as an Austra White, a cross between a White Leghorn and a Black Australorp.

We bought 2 Austra Whites at our local feed store. The woman who works there said she has one that is 5 years old and has just started laying eggs again this year and is laying about 3 or 4 a week. She really likes them and recommends them. The chicks we got only have a couple of spots of black...

Just to make a liar out of me, she layed an egg today!! It is a pretty light blue.

I have 3 EE and 2 have been laying for several weeks. The 3rd one is doing exactly what you describe. She is now 27+ weeks old. I am also very curious about the egg color. One of the ones that is laying has a blue-green egg, often very oversized with a double yolk, and the other one has an army...

When you get an extra dozen, I would highly recommend a homemade angel food cake, which takes 12 whites. I cooked the yolks up for the dogs and fed them to them over a few days.

I posted a similar question about Delawares and I got zero responses. I can't imagine that I am the only one who has Delawares!! I have determined that one lays plain medium brown eggs and the other one lays noticably dark brown eggs that often have dark speckles on one end. The eggs are very...

I thought they didn't molt until they were 18 months old? Is that correct?

Today, for the first time, I have one more light brown egg than I can account for with certainty. We have 9 hens, 2 of whom are Delawares. I know that at least one of them is laying a very dark brown egg, terra-cotta shade to it with speckles. What color eggs do your Delawares lay? I am trying...

Thanks!! We usually call her "Eck" for short.

Maybe many of you have witnessed this before, but I was wondering how the eggs were getting covered with a fine dark dust at one end. Mystery solved. I saw my pullet EC (for Excellent Chicken) lay an egg today, and as it came out a fine dust settled on the last part of the egg to emerge. I guess...
