Thank you for your input, and like you I agree. I really hate buying anything site unseen, especially a living breathing animal. I am willing to pay a fair market price, but don't want to get taken advantage of, either! My main concern is health, but also looking to find girls around 6...

Howdy, I'm looking for a couple of Maran hens/pullets to add to my flock and I'm having no luck locally. I don't want to do the egg or chick thing, cause I don't have the set up. I've contacted Chuckey Chickens in TN and they've got several, but am wondering if anyone has had any...

It's really my husbands fault (isn't always!!) We've started giving away a few dozen eggs here and there, but he always is so stingy with the larger eggs! He'll only put one or two "big" eggs in friends dozen and keep the rest for himself. I personally can't taste any difference, but he wants...

Hello and Help!!!! I purchased 7 pullets this last spring, all of which started laying by fall and are still laying almost every day! I love my spoiled flock but, am disappointed in several of them due to their egg size. I've got 2 Wyandottes, a Speckled Sussex, a Buff Orp. a Lite...

Thank you for your input! Yes, they are my spoiled pets and of course I think they're all "Best In Show"! I wouldn't want to put them through the stresses of showing if it wasn't absolutely warranted! I will still look forward to going to the shows, but as an observer only..... Baahaahaa...

I don't have the best pictures, but am interested in perhaps showing a couple of my girls in a local Livestock show..... Honest feed back would be so much appreciated!!! 1st girl... 9 month old Silver Laced Wyndotte 2nd girl... 9 month old Gold Laced Polish Question... She got pecked on...

Couldn't help myself!!! Here's a pic of our 6 month old LOCO, yes...... here she's looking all regal....... And here she is after my son blew her dry and styled her crest..... Not looking to regal now!! I laughed my butt off, she looked like Joe Dirt after his surgery!!

Hello - I'm looking for a Lite Sussex hen around 6 months old to add to our small, but beloved flock before winter sets in. I fell in love with my very young lite Sussex, but unfortunately she turned into a "HE" I found him a great new home and bought a beautiful speckled Sussex and I...

Thanks for all the input...... I had never even thought about sand. What a great idea!!! Glad every likes my set up, I still want to do alot to it, like add a covered front porch, decorations on the front, chicken cam, automatic waterer... etc! Guess I gotta do a lot of sweet talking to my men!!

Here is a pic of my new coop my hubby and son built me ! We've left the back wall off during the extreme heat this summer and plan on building a removable wall this fall. As of right now they have dirt in thier run and really soft dirt (from them scratching) in the coop itself. My question...

ARG!!! All my girls are very friendly and sweet, except Buffalo ~ she is soooo stand-offish, she'll arrogently stare at us from a distance when we're giving hand fed treats. All my other girls are dancing at my feet, saying "Gimme, Gimme, Gimme"..... but not her! I'm starting to think...

I've got 5 chickens total, 3 are over 6 months old and 2 are roughly 5 months old. My Buff Orp. has been laying for almost 2 months now and my Speckled Sussex has been laying for about a month...... but my dang stuborn Silver Laced Wyandotte won't!! I think she's holding them in, just to...

I found an x-small (kitten fit her the best) I now wish I had bought a larger harness that I could down size for LOCO, but would fit my big girls! I'm thinkin my Speckled Sussex is my next walking partner! Hey.... that gives me a good excuse to leash up LOCO and go back to Petsmart...

you realize i now have to get a leash for my chicken right? Do you see what i have done to me! R u proud of yourself? WELL U SHOULD BE I'm very proud of myself!! LOL Post pics when you do! I just let LOCO lead me around, but hell, it sure was fun!

I took my favorite chicken "LOCO" to a little Chicken Palooza at our local feed store...... I wanted her to win a prize, but had know idea how there set up was going to be.... Soooo, Loco and I went to Petsmart - her in the buggy :-D and went straight to the harness department, where she tried...
