You know, I have been wanting to say this for the last several months, and I've held off, but I really can't anymore. I realize we have a section on this board called "Random Ramblings". I realize that no one is forced to click on and read any post, or to continue reading anything they don't...

I have a 1 yr old Sumatra hen who was broody a couple of months ago, and I let her hatch a few chicks, although I didn't let her keep them very long because it was too cold outside at the time. Point is I've seen her broody behavior. About a week and half ago it seemed like she was starting up...

These two great guys need a home. Very sweet and unusual looking. Silkie-OEG cross with black skin. Pretty shades of green and purple in their feathers. Will deliver within a reasonable distance. Thanks!

I'm travelling for work and my Silkies eggs are hatching - yikes! I can't get home until Monday. One hatched yesterday afternoon and is under Momma, and I got a text at 6AM saying another hatched overnight. And get this: Momma is awhite Silkie and Daddy is either a white Silkie/Cochin or a...

My sister was in her mud room the other night and heard a faint sound at the back door. When she opened the door, this little gal was waiting to come in: Isn't she cute? She has no idea where she came from. My brother took her. My sister doesn't keep chickens. I wanted her!

Just saw this, in case anyone's interested: http://ithaca.craigslist.org/grd/938248688.html Interlaken is on the west side of Cayuga Lake, near Ithaca, btw.

Pearl, my white Silkie hen, has decided to go broody two days ago. She managed to park herself on about four eggs, at least one of which I know wasn't hers (oh well). I can deal with it, even though I wish she waited until spring for this. (DH didn't want chicks in the house - oh well too bad...

I went out in the freezing cold to open the chicken doors this morning. I checked the nests and found a little egg which I quickly stuffed into my pocket. The hens are always putting up a fuss, but this morning my Sumatra was really doing a lot of what I call "chicken b*tchin", which was what...

He was one of my favorites. DH found him on his shelf where he sleeps in the coop when he came home from work. He didn't have any obvious problem. He was healthy and robust, then suddenly... gone. I came home from my business trip last night and didn't have the heart to walk out to the coop. I...

I saw the weirdest thing last night when I was "tucking my birds in". We separated the boys from the girls with a chicken wire wall in the coop, and we have two roosters that sleep together on a roost on the boys side. Last night one was grooming the other. He was gently pulling the head...

I wish I had a camera with me, although I doubt I would have stopped to take a picture. I propped open the door of the pen that my 4 roos are staying in so they can walk in and out and range as they please. A couple of minutes ago they started raising hell in the yard (you know the sound...

Unfortunately I have too many roosters and some have to go to new homes. I'm attached to each of them so this is very hard for me. They're all bantams, definitely not show quality, and healthy. All are about 15 weeks old. I have: A lavender/grey cochin named Henry who is very tame and quite...

and now I smell why - SKUNK!!! P-U!!!! I suppose that's what I get for being up at this ungodly hour anyway.

I just thought I would post the link to the calendar for the NY State Ag Fairs for 2008. I didn't see it posted when I did a search, so if someone already did this, thanks! http://www.nyfairs.org/fairdates.htm
