I was actually asking for help to "dumb" these terms down to where 4 and 5 year olds would understand the terms, but it's fine.
Been raising chickens for over 10 years, loved every moment with them, and hope to continue to raise them in the future.
Right now, I've been getting up to 12 eggs a...
...and feathered “arms” of a chicken, though they cannot fly like other birds, can help them get to rather tall heights, and fly for a short distance.
*Note: though there are many other parts to a chicken, to be developmentally appropriate, and I am only mentioning the most common parts. ...
I just need to get hold of my friend to see when she is firing up her incubator. Sadly, I lost my broody hen in December but she had to have been at least 8 or older.
But I am planning on setting my RIR eggs as usual and perhaps some silky eggs too.
That's a nice coop! Mine is just built into the barn with the (broken) run sticking out about 8'. But it's 42' by 10' inside. So in all, my coop is a 50' by 10' ft. coop for my chickens. Just gotta clean it and put down fresh shavings DLM style after I get out of college for Christmas break.
And this is going to be done, whether my father wants to or not. I am sick of seeing raccoons on top of the run trying to get at my chickens from that window. It scares me. I've poked more coons than I care to count in the past year with my long stick, knocked it down, and they barely got away...
Yes!!! Exactly like that so that when it rains and snows, the solid roof sheds it off instead of letting it get into my run, and soaking the sand I'm going to put down on the ground.

Hey everyone. Been SUPER busy with college these past few months that I haven't been able to get on here. Which I totally missed being on BYC.
Anyway, earlier this summer, my father had a man come over with a chainsaw to cut some trees down. He sure wasn't that good at it as one of those...
I'm in love with your gorgeous RIR rooster, silkie hen, SLW hen, EE hen, and BR hen!!! <3 :)
Though, my RIR boy RJ, would probably give the stink eye for saying this. He thinks he and his girls are the prettiest around. Which they are lovely.
And that includes the broody, her 7 chicks, and the...
Wow!!! After 2 1/2 hours of reading; I finally reached the end!!!
Awesome story and love your Brahma's!! Just might try get into a couple for showing and eggs.
No boys though!!! I have King RJ (RIR) and Prince Sunny (Silkie) along with their 6 lovely girls.
One of which is raising 8 baby...
What lovely old girls you have Speckled Hen.
Oh and this is 4 Love of Baby Chickens - lost my old password
for my other account so I made a new one. I lost my old Ameraucana
hen Marshmallow last summer to a fox. Oh she was the sweetest and
prettiest hen in the whole world!!! I sure miss...
Have you ever tried fermenting your chickens feed? I have and they LOVE it!!!! Within 10 minutes; their feed dishes are empty.
Tell me what you think of it. Whether you liked it or not. Or if you haven't tried it yet but want too.
