    Review by '' on item 'Wyandotte'

    I had a lot higher hopes for my blue laced red... She was late to deliver eggs, has already gone broody twice in two months since starting to lay. She is obnoxiously loud all day, hates to be held, and is very skittish and can be very mean sometimes. The only Pro is that she is nice and big...

    Review by '' on item 'Orpington'

    I have 3 chickens total so I only have comparisons between the 3. My Buff "Cashew" is very sweet, loves to be held, will eat out of your hand, and lays almost every day. She is not the mother hen, but is a very close 2nd. Egg size could be bigger, but she is consistent with one almost every...

    Borrowing a rooster for temporary fertilization?

    I appreciate the insight, and those were things I didn't consider or wasn't aware of. I probably won't take this route if I wanted chicks, but it would be neat to experience the entire process from start to finish.

    Borrowing a rooster for temporary fertilization?

    Thank you so much (Ridgerunner and Fred) for the information. That was exactly what I was looking for. To Gryeyes... I cannot keep Roos in my suburban area.

    Borrowing a rooster for temporary fertilization?

    New egg question here.. I have 3 teenage hens Buff Orphington, Blue laced red Wynadotte, and a Golden sex-link, and have no real plans to breed chicks. However in the future should I want to, I'm not completely familiar with the process. Is it possible to borrow someone's rooster for a...

    Attaches nicely to my coop for a little extra run room. I only have 3 hens so this seems to be sufficient in addition to their space in the coop. Makes for easy moving around the yard for new areas to scratch.

    Review by '' on item 'Golden Sex Link'

    I have a Buff Orphington, Blue Laced Red Wyandotte, and a sex-link (Spicy). In the beginning she was more on the wild and aggressive side (hence Spicy), but is now the best hen in the bunch. The other two are skiddish and don't like to be held (contrary to reviews), but she knows the routine...

    Hen seems to have hard time picking up food.

    Definitely not blind. I think her beak might be too long and need filing. I've been reading people having to do this. It would make sense for what I'm seeing too. Thanks for the input!!

    Hen seems to have hard time picking up food.

    One of my 5 week old hens totally misses the target when picking up food from my hand. I've watched and she seems to do the same on the ground. The other 2 (same age) can pluck a meal worm from my fingers in one shot, but she's lucky to get it in a few tries. She is growing fine, but she...

    Hello From the OC California.

    First time Chicken owner. Having fun so far. I have 3... A blue laced red wyndotte, a golden sex-link, and a buff orphington. They are about 5-6 weeks old. The buff was introduced to the other two a few days ago and the smaller wyndotte pecked her a lot. She finally got fed up with it, and...
