I found my friend some Black Langshan's just before Easter this year and she's so pleased with them that she's looking for 2 or 3 more egg laying hens if anyone has some for sale in my area. I'm in the Dallas area of TX.
Please let me know, you can email me at [email protected]
Thanks...
I just came from visiting my friend's house and her roo isn't doing very well. She just bought them two weeks ago. I saw them on the first day they arrived and everyone seemed very healthy. However, today when I went out to see her chickens her roo was acting as if he had something in his...
I haven't been on here since I got back from vacation. but since I lost all my chickens, I had to buy store eggs!!! yuck!! it was heartbreaking! after two years of having fresh eggs from my ladies, I almost forgot where to find the eggs in my local store! I want another flock so bad, but I'm...
I have had a rough time with a predator. As I'm typing this I am helpless and hopeless 1,200 miles away from home, while my poor chickens get eradicated! About a week before I left to go on vacation, I found a small, blonde dog in my yard harrassing a chicken. I ran the dog off and my poor hen...
I have a guy around the corner from me that bought a bunch of RIR eggs and once they hatched out almost all of the 20 eggs are roo's, so he's looking to thin out the testosterone, but I was wondering what they were going for now.
About a week ago I noticed my young rooster not chasing the ladies like he usually does. I didn't see anything wrong with him upon inspection at first - he's eating and drinking regularly and he is "getting some" from the ladies, but not nearly as aggressively. But after a few days I noticed...
Check it out and tell me what you think, with our busy lives it's hard to keep this updated because it's low on the priority list, but I guess I wasn't doing much tonight so I finally got it all done!

I found my chicken caked in mud lying on her back in my yard. Appears that a dog "play" attacked her. There are no lacerations, or broken bones that I can tell. She can move her wings, and walk, though slowly because I'm sure she's sore.
I took her inside my home, bathed the mud off her and...
Don't know if any of you have already seen this, but if not, this is worth a look!

My b/f and I just finished watching a Discovery Channel program about this hotel that is in Sweden that is made entirely of ice and snow! It was truely amazing! After the show, I googled "ice hotel" and found their website (very easily) and thought others may enjoy learning about this fantastic...
Like a few others on here, I have been looking for an at home job for about the past year and I finally found one!!! I was just hired Wednesday, and I'm sooooo excited that I thought I'd share with my friends here at BYC cause I know you all would be happy for me!
Below is a picture of my...
Is there anything I can treat my rooster with today other than DE? The feed stores are all closed on Sundays. I'll buy some DE tomorrow, but I was wondering what I could do for him today?

Well, my parents bought it for my kids this Christmas. See the kids playing happily on and in their brand new playground?
It took a better part of a week to get it ready to be played on. It was so cold and windy. But it went up finally. The bad part about it was the weather is JUST...
