Hello all, I am looking for blue egg chickens but I'm looking for production quality. I don't care about the looks I just want them to lay a lot of large blue eggs or as close to that as I can get. I've had Easter eggers in the past whose rates were three to four medium eggs a week. I'm looking...

The law has changed here. You can now have 4 chickens! Here is the page...https://www.lenexa.com/news/archived_news/bringing_chickens_home_to_roost

Donald was given to us and is full grown. The other three were from the mixed duck bin at TSC and still peep. The grey fuzzy one is smaller than the others.

Scooter (center) was the only small duck in a mixed bin at TSC. He is literally half the size of his companions now. Could he be a call duck? What other small breeds of duck are there?

I bought three ducks out of the mixed bin at TSC. A pekin, a khaki cambell (I think), and Scooter (middle in picture). Scooter was a bit smaller than the other two, and now he's half their size a week later. He doesn't seem distressed, but sits on his bum all the time (doesn't stand to eat, he...

Got them from a mixed tub at a local farm store. I'd love to know!

I'm looking to buy something that's calibrate-able and going to last me a good long while! I'd prefer something that reads to the tenths. What have you guys used successfully? Can you link me up? :p

I met my best friend and fellow chicken lover just after she had finished chemotherapy for her breast cancer. She was 26 when diagnosed. Despite having a really bad reaction to the chemo (her husband literally had to carry her out to the car after each session, and then carry her into the...

I had a chick hatch that got wrapped up in some extra goo/cordage which caused a slight hernia in the navel. After cutting it loose, I put it in a tupperware container lined with a wet washcloth inside the incubator, figuring it would correct on it's own. Then I left for thanksgiving. When I...

I hatched some chicks out for my father on Halloween. He insists that 5 of the 9 are male. His reason being the 5 act like roos in how they poof at each other, and they are getting waddles. Breeds are RIR Cock x RIR/Plymouth Rock/Black Sex Link Hens It makes sense with the numbers 5/4 but I...

I really like the idea of flocks where all the birds are the same color, but their eggs are not! So I'm putting together little lists. Because it's fun. Feel free to add any breeds & their egg color that I might have missed! Here is my first list: BLACK Chicken Flock: White Egg Layers...

I'm wanting to put together a little flock of black chickens that lay rainbow eggs but have had trouble finding a black chicken that lays blue eggs. Are there any??

These were supposed to be meat chickens. Instead the chicks turned into laying chooks of some type. I am not sure if they are all the same breed or not. The ladies are fabulous layers of dark to light brown eggs (pictured). Thanks for everyones imput!

Does anyone know of a breed that is a good layer of darker brown eggs with solid white feathers with a little yellow (might also be dirt!) around neck/head area? Trying to figure out the mystery chickens a friend was sent. EDIT: Photo of birds and eggs

Before I ever had the opportunity to raise chickens, I lived out my dreams through my father, who had a small flock that free ranged on his 2 acres of country land. We lived in a small apartment in the married student housing section of my husbands University campus. We had two small boys ages...

My father has a buff orpington. She is #2 boss lady in the chicken coop. She is skittish around people and not the nicest to the chooks beneath her. The rooster isn't interested in her, though he has a thing for the other 3 hens! She doesn't appear to be molting (and no gold feathers in the...

I don't have pictures, but I did see one in action so I'll do my best to explain symptoms. My BFF bought 25 California whites from a local "breeder". Fairly recently they have been dropping like flies. The first symptom is a droopy tail. Most of the birds have upright tails, but the ones who...

This is Calico Jack, a mix breed rooster I hatched out for my father. He's still young, and his tail has continued to get a little bigger every time I see him. Here's his lineage... Pure Bred Auraucana ROO X Hatchery RIR HEN (gen 1) (gen 1) HEN X Crested Cream Legbar Mix ROO = Calico Jack So...
