Our 3 Barred Rocks are now 2 yrs old....they went rather dormant during winter here (Houston, TX), laying one or two and sometimes no eggs for days.

To all who posted on this topic last year, I want you all to know it was and IS so appreciated. Your thoughts and cards really brightened her day. It is with such sadness I'm posting that she did not win her last battle with cancer. The last few months were extremely difficult, as she was in...

Well, of our 4 Barred Rocks, we had one (Mimi), that was not laying and the lowest on the rung of hierarchy....always last to get to the treats and picked on if she tried to get in on "their" goodies before they were done. She is the sweetest one of the 4 too....(of course). After 8 months...

The problem we see, is we got these 4 chicks at 3 days old; almost identical little "penguins", (Barred Rocks) back around April (Easter). Their development has been quite different among them. 2 developed combs and wattles about 6 weeks ago, and began doing the "squat", (haha...funny...

September 28, 2009 To my BYC “Family”, As some of you know, my sister Rita has been under going treatment for lung cancer. She had 2/3rds of a lung removed, as well as some rib bones back in May this year. This is her last two weeks of “big guns” chemo and she is just miserable. She has...

We are in the Gulf Coast area, and expect hurricanes from June to November. How do y'all take care of your chicks /chickens IF a hurricane is imminent? We have only 4 BR's, and thought about putting them in a large dog kennel (or 2) and bringing them in the house, but they'd have to be...

The girls went to bed around 8pm this evening...they huddle in a corner of their house...I went to look around 9, just to make sure all was well, and this is what I found! DH re-located it to the pond about a mile down the road....ewww! (not sure it uploaded?) Dunno how to do this. It was a...

We are now the proud "parents" of 4 baby Barred Rocks, see picture attached... We picked them up last Friday, and they are under heat light and over heating pad in a very long box. They can move away if they feel like it. So far, so good. No pasty butts yet, and they seem perky and funny...
