We have seen mice in the chicken area in the past. We started storing their food in a metal trash can and the food is elevated but not hanging. I have notice this past week that there is food all over the coop floor, I filled the container yesterday and it looks like 90% has been dumped out...

Thank you, I'm hoping someone will be able to help guide me on what to do, I feel like there's 20 different directions I can/should/could go. We've never had anything like this happen. At first I thought the egg decline was protest about the new nesting boxes but obviously that wasn't the...

*if too graphic let me know and I'll delete from this board. I did post in injury/illness* I'm so upset for my girls. What is going on?! Everything was fine until about the last week. We brought a rooster back in, he was one we sold a couple of years ago. He's calm, doesn't breed the girls in...

Hi! Basically neighbors in a Texas way!

I Around here, anyone that's about two hours away is close!

I saw something awhile back but haven't followed it closely. We are out of the city limits, which is why I got a few chicks from Tractor Supply a few years ago and then ordered some online from cackle, then Ideal, chicken math at its finest! Lol There's a guy out your direction that's starting...

We're in Odessa

I try so hard not to pick favorites with chicks because when I do, they either turn out to be a cockerel (in a breed I don't need a cockerel from) or something happens to it. I haven't been able to keep a silkie safe yet... So, is my favorite chick out of 50 that was narrowed down to 15, a...

It's the first day all 16 girls have all laid!

We opened the C shaped egg, no yolk (my husband was disappointed, he really thought there would be two yolks). She appears to have taken today off so hopefully tomorrow she gives us a normal egg again!

We got our first 'weird' egg. I'm a little worried for the girl that laid it. I know it's normal for pullets to have a few kinks when they first start laying but the egg before this had a very bloody white, not just a blood spot. We only have two white egg layers (leghorns) so it should be easy...

LOVE your eggs!!!! So pretty!!!

Those are pretty! I guess if I really want darker ones I need to find a breeder. Not that it really matters, I was just hoping for darker for more variation in our egg basket.

Yours look darker but not drastically. Hopefully she's a good layer.

She's from Ideal. I'm really disappointed, it's not much darker than my sexlinks and will probably lighten some as the eggs get larger because she just started laying not long ago. Darn it! Lol

Egg color question! We have 2 leghorns, 1 barred rock, 2 sex-links, 1 RIR, 2 turkens, 7 Easter Eggers and 1 maran . Some are a year, the others are 6 months. Is the darker smaller egg in the front a Maran egg or a sex-link pullet egg? One picture it's next to I believe a Turken egg and then I...

We have Danes and 2 chihuahua mixes. The two little dogs don't pay any attention to the chickens and one of the Danes would probably ignore them but the others would love me forever if I let them in the run... I'm not sure if it's an option or not but to help avoid chickens getting out in the...

There's been a dead tree at our back porch for awhile, during a rare storm or two we've stressed it might fall and take our power line with it. It's not something at the top of the to do list for a fun weekend but finally, the Saturday before school starts, it had to be done. Madison had to...

I'm sure this has been shared before but it's so fitting!

I'm not sure what I did wrong uploading pictures from my phone, here's one that almost shows the group. There are 2 guineas (the 3rd got out on the first night and we haven't been able to find it) 2 Americaunas (or EE), a red sexlink, an Ideal 236 (I think that's the #) and I believe a New...
