Hey Guys, We've had dogs and puppies in the past, and are familiar with them. But we just got a new 7week Mini-Dachshund puppy, he was ridded w/flease when I got him home. Even to where he had a crusty patch under his ear, there were a TON of them. Anyway, I made a bath of a little dish...

I have hen, BO, that has gone broody. Our eggs are not fertilized, no Roo-except a chick roo, and I let her sit on them for the past two days....just to see if she would sit. Well, I had to push her off them this morning and there were 11 eggs under her!!!!! So, I wish they were fertile as...

Two sweet, 1 1/2 week old pygmy bucklings!!! I'm soooo happy! These are our first goats and we are extatic, if these guys are as much fun as chickens I will be in heaven!! Here they are, just got them last night, they are being bottle fed as the mama orphaned them. They don't have names yet...

He All! First off I'm officially addicted to chickens, and I love my chickens...we now have 8hens and 10 chicks in our backyard flock. DH and I were talking about the possobility of getting some goats, pygmy or nigerian dwarf...some breed of very small goats. We live in a neighborhood...

Hey Guys, I've got one of my laying girls, who has been laying for about 3months. Well, the past couple of days she has been sitting in the nesting box and when I come to check for eggs she is all puffed out and today she was a little growlie. She still let me get the eggs out from under her...

I have what was supposed to be a Blue Jersey Giant....she sprouted some muffs last week. Soooo, the guy I got her from does have some pure white Ameraucanas. I"m assuming she is now a JG X w/ Amer or EE. Just wondering, will she still lay the pale brown color of a JG?? Thanks!

I have 5 week old chicks, some have definite red combs already. I'm assuming those are roos...is it safe to say then, that if they DO NOT have a red comb yet it's a pullet? Some that I thought were pullets are starting to get pink now....when do PULLETS actuall start to get pink on their own...

Are all chickens born with them? I know they don't actually develop the spurs until 6-8months. But I'm looking at all 10 of my 5 week old chicks and most have the little bump or bud. Does this mean they all are roos? Thanks!

I just saw someone local on Craig's List selling Blue Red Laced Wyandottes. I do not show, I just would like some nice BRLW for my backyard flock, pet quality I guess. I would however like them to be pure...so if I choose to breed them later I could get decent quality. What do I need to ask...

for a ride on your bicycle?!! My 4 year old dd swiped one of my 4wk old JG, before I knew it, and took her for a ride in the basket of her bike!! I was thinking she shouldn't be doing that, but after seeing how the little chick really seemed to like it I couldn't really complain!! She, the...

go on trips outside. I have 10 chicks all 4 -4 1/2 weeks old. I took them out the other day and Marshmallow, our splash JG, just wanted to sit there and didn't scurry and hunt around like the rest. He seems to be feathered out just as much as the others....but would only sit there trembly or...

My Chicks are a little over 4weeks old....some I think I know...but others I'm not sure??? Maybe it's still too early, but here are a few if you can give me your best guess on gender. TIA!!! Hoping for at least a few pullets in the mix! Also, if you have any tips on breed that's great...

Hey all! This is my second batch of babies, our others from last summer are now grown and laying great. It was beautiful out yesterday so we decided to give our 4wk old gang a field trip out, for the first time. It sure doesn't get old watching them have fun and explore. I love my chickens...

Okay, so I have a few extra dozen eggs a week to get rid of. A lady I babysit for buys only organic groceries and I told her if she was interested I have a few extra dozen a week she could buy off me. I have just bought regular layer crumbles for my laying girls, but it does not say "Organic"...

Hey guys, wasn't sure where to post this. What are some good poultry magazines that you all like or have subscriptions to? I'm just a backyard chicken farmer, but love learning more about them and dream of a bigger farm some day. Thanks!!

I have a 3 1/2 week old chick, that is supposed to be an EE. But, may have been an EE cross as I bought it from an individual w/lots of chickens. Anyway, he/she has gorgeous feathering and I noticed her comb, beak, and legs are slate color and skin is black. Is this a normal traight of an EE? TIA

What is this?? My girls have been laying great lately, I was very surprised to see this tiny egg in their nesting box this morning. I have all standard size girls, it must have been one of my BR-they lay my darkest egss.

I think they are just darling. I got them w/ 4 others from a woman who had a lot of chickens. The were all hatched the week of 2/14 so they should be almost 3 wks old. Supposedly I have EE and as they are growing one of them looks almost bantam and she's got a little tuft of hair on her head...

Okay, so I'm in the house this morning baking a dessert for my DH's bday and look out the window to see my 4yr old DD(Isabelle) climbing up the chickens ladder into their coop. She has been doing this for about the past week now, trying to get in their and collect eggs-since she is too short to...

They were all out free ranging, but after a while they come up to the door begging Mama(Me) for treats! I'm such a sucker to my girls . They are such Piggies!!! Please Excuse the dirty window...from my two dogs and two little girls!
