My boys showed our chickens this week and recieved all blues. The judge said they were great pullets and were in great health. He said to bring them back next year. They were up for Reserve Grand, but he said they were beat out because the other pullets were a little further along in production...

My cat loves trying to bathe the chickens. I tried telling him it's a chicken & not a kitten, but he insisted Colonel Sanders get cleaned lol Colonel Sanders loves my cat too. Odd pair.

I believe I have a Frizzle on my hands. Being a noobie I ran here to get info. The two Buff Cochin Bantams I have (ended up being 2 roos) aren't feathering out like any of my other chickens have. Their feathers are flipping out more than hugging their bodies & give me the impression of someone...

Uncle Si is not amused by the photo shoot. Lol

Saw this @ Tractor Supply & fell in love! $99 but it hits almost to my upper thigh. Grabby hands & puppy dog eyes to DH.

I am in Switzerland County so I was so happy to see this post. Now I have to go & check it out. Thanks! My fave chick is about the same age & identical. We're waiting to see if it crows. Ours were supposed to be all pullets. I'll just get more pullets if we do have more than 1 roo in the...

I am so excited about this shirt! lol

Thus This would be my luck! Lol

I have some BO & some Gold Buffs I took them off the lamp about 4-5 weeks when they started feathering out good. My brooder was in my home. I put them outside about 6 weeks old.

I didn't catch the breed sorry (iphone loves me) Mine are Boer.

I just can't decide between pullet or roo. Was supposed to be pullet, but the comb color had me starting to say roo, but the behavior just doesn't match the one known BO roo in the flock. This one feathered out like the pullets whereas the known roo still doesn't have most lol Any experienced BO...

I second the weed eating lol We have 4 does, a doeling, a buckling, & 2 4H wethers chomping down the yard. Makes life easier!

I am putting out a garden for my flocks. Also a garden big enough for us & surplus for market. Going to try my hand at herbs this year and a ton of calendula. It's main ingredient in the salve & soap I use on my daughter's Eczema.

Yep dandelions for jelly. It tastes like honey. Dandelions are good for digestion as well as inflamation. You can eat every single part of it root to petal. Greens, salad, jelly, wine, tea & so on. I sell it at a farmer's market. I make corn cob jelly too lol It tastes like apple jelly. My...

My chickies LOVE fermented feed. We call it fermented candy. If they see the blue bucket in my hand they go crazy and run to the coop door or flock me in the yard. lol It's cute. Still can't get over the fact my chickens followed me to the front door then pecked until I opened it, and then...
