    She's passed now, thanks. Where will our ancient dying hen be most comfortable?

    Aw I'm sorry you lost your girl. But it sounds like she had a long, happy life and was clearly cared for. And passed peacefully. Bless you. Sending a hug your way.

    Are your chickens molting? I'm in Seattle and only 1 of my 5 adult girls is molting. In past years they are all molting by now. Wondering if they are just late this year. Or is it possible they won't molt at all? They are 2.5 to 4.5 years old.

    Do you read to your chickens?

    Well that's a thought! I read on the outside sofa and they usually just pile around/on me. But I'll try reading out loud next time! I hope they like Mysteries and Thrillers!

    I think my chicken is saved because I made him shoes to protect his feet

    Love these! I may need a pair too! :) But how do they stay on and not just slide off as they walk around?

    Is this mold on these stored eggs?

    Ah got it. Is it ok if I still dry, bake and feed these shells back to my chickens for calcium you think?

    Is this mold on these stored eggs?

    I keep my eggs in these plastic containers in the refrigerator. Unwashed. The container is pretty much air tight when I latch each side. I've been noticing that some of the eggs have grown greenish and brownish spots on them. (They are very clean at time of storage, no blemish, spots...

    What is my Zombie cross?

    Oh I didn't know WHITE Orpingtons existed! I don't really understand genetics. So maybe Ayam Cemani X White Orpington would create a Zombie? I wish the hatchery would just tell us!

    What is my Zombie cross?

    Yeah I don't really understand genetics. So maybe Ayam Cemani X Delaware would create a Zombie? I wish the hatchery would just tell us!

    I got a Zombie chick in Mar. She's a Pearl Onyx from Hoover's: https://hoovershatchery.com/pearl-onyx She just turned 21 weeks and laid her 1st egg last week! Its a beautiful darker brown egg. I had assumed she was an Ayam Cemani X White Leghorn since that seems to be the most common cross...

    Whose egg? Marans?

    'OT'...I like that never heard of it that way! As for the curtains my original girls didn't have them on the boxes initially. But no one was ever alarmed by them. Initially (and I still do this for the new babies), I keep the curtains parted so they can see the fake egg and an open nest box...
