    I'm in southeastern mass. Currently I have chicken & ducks that house together @ night. During the day they all free range & are provided with pellets, crumble, scratch grains, & cracked corn. Would love to see some barred boys strutting around again.

    Does anyone else have bunnies on the way?

    Aww yay! You may get some early arrivals - or does your doe usually pull fur a few days before? I have 2 that are a week old & 6 that are 4 days old & a potential litter due Fri - can't palp the doe as she is so huge in the belly that there is no real wiggle room to feel :/ & another due soon...

    Two 3 week old white bantam Cochen cockerals in Franklin, MA.

    Now I don' have any bantam cochins, I do have Japanese bantams, adults & a juvenile & 1 chick -eggs under 2 hens & incubator. So I will have staggered ages. They are more than welcome here.

    Japanese Bantam Thread!

    I find when you have a lone chick/chicken they tend to be friendly w/ people as they enjoy companionship. As soon as there is more than one they tend to look towards their feathered friends for company most of the time anyways My adult JBs are still standoffish & will run away, but when I do...

    Japanese Bantam Thread!

    LOL that lasted for all of 1/2 a day!! I put them there because I was scared that they might abandon the eggs :/ (first time broody around here) They go out into the pen area & eat n drink then back into the coop. I was worrying because I have 4 hens & 3 roos for my JBs & with 2 of the ladies...

    Japanese Bantam Thread!

    Some of my young JBs have a similar look, in regards to the coloring - That would be very nice to get some molted ones from my bunch! It still looks young enough to not have any curled tail feathers come in yet. Does have a large red comb -- I am leaning more toward a cockerel four H lover -...

    What Rabbits Do You Have? Show Off Your Rabbits Here!

    AWWWWW!!!!! I love this photo! I have had free roamers as well. Have lost some along the way to predators, however due to the rabbit becoming overly confident in it's night time activities :/ I have an area they can go to (the fowl yard) to spend the night. Currently I only have 1 free roamer &...

    First broody over here! & from one of my 4 JB ladies!!!!!!!!!!!!! She has been sitting since Tues morning....I know I know she could quit.

    Proud Cayuga owners!!!!

    I have a few extra males from this past hatch & may have a few more from my incubator eggos that are due the 22nd. I plan on raising them & keeping the most well behaved of the drakes & processing the rest. As others have said- I have read about a nice savory beefy flavor & the plucking issue...

    Proud Cayuga owners!!!!

    I love getting the feeder fish & putting them in their pool!! Now that they have discovered our pond (we made it years ago when some neighbors decided they didn't want a pond & just filled it with gravel & dirt till it flooded our back 1/4 of our property) It has frogs & bugs n all but no fish -...

    March Hatch-Along Thread- Come Hatch With Us!!!!!

    ...may just be stubborn! I feel the same way sometimes, as I have chilled out chicks, no one wants to rumble the egg & all but one took their sweeet ***** time pipping & zipping!! 69 being to high will depend on who you ask. Many people have their own temps & humidity levels they stick too...

    Does anyone else have bunnies on the way?

    Sorry to hear that Dutchgirl with keeping her inside still, maybe set up a radio near her & play classical music??? That may help drown out background noises that could cause her a scare. You could attache you current nest box potentially. If it's wood or plastic you can drill holes in the sides...
