My New Chicken Coop!
It started out as my long South facing horse shelter.
The horse barn is a metal building with steel frame.
I enclosed 2 of the horse stalls with welded wire for the chicken run.
The part where the coop is now, used to be open like the stalls.
Then my handy husband made a...
I am posting, I am posting. I have just been busy. I really wanted to do the NYD hatch too, but someone "made" me put eggs in a little early so I opted to just skip it this year. We did hatch out some really cute mixes! I also have 9 eggs in my bator again that someone started under a...
Hi SCG! I have seen people put a black toilet plunger top part over the flashlight and it gives you a nice little rubber spot to sit your eggs on to candle. DO IT, Go buy a new plunger and tear that baby apart and try it. You could have the coolest candler yet.
I have...
I love the Candy Store Collection idea. I have some of Muggs birds that I hatched last year and I love them all. The eggs made it all the way from New York to Colorado in perfect shape! I didn't get the mixed assortment like this auction, and I am jealous of whoever gets this batch...
Doh!!!!! I want to be in so bad. I made a big mistake and put a test hatch in a few days late, so my day 21 on those eggs is Dec. 13th!!! I was not thinking ahead!!!!! Soooo I only have 1 bator! Hmmmmm I am thinking if I can swing this. I might just join in and have to set a few...
Hi all!
I don't get on here much because I have been keeping my addiction under control. But I have a confession to make. I have 26 eggs in the incubator right now!!!!! Why???? I have no idea.
I am totally and uncontrollably addicted to goats. I love my new goats and I can't stop looking at CL for more!!! They are so tame now and I can lead them down the street like dogs. We go for walks and they eat dried leaves like potato chips. I can't wait until they are old enough to...

Hi! Meagan! I am totally with you on this, I have some nice birds now and I feel that I have spent too much money on them and I need to sell some hatching eggs to at least re-coop some of that money! I should of just stayed with my variety layer flock and been happy with that. I...
Hi!
I too have sold chickens and I think I am down to 42! I want to get to 30, that is my magic number. I have been on BackYardHerds and haven't spent a lot of time on BYC. IdealisticRoo is my co-chicken conspirator and fellow addict. We are not related as far as I know.
My fellow chicken addict shared this with me and I had to post it here.

I'm here. And thank you. But......I really need to update pictures. The basic coop setup is the same except it is dirty and messy because I HAVE TOO MANY CHICKENS! and I added a pen on the end of the coop for goats. I haven't been on BYC much because I am now also addicted to...

Sorry about losing a goose. That is a dilemma about the mallards, If it were me I think I would be so tempted to clip wings. If they go out in the wild you may never see them again. But on the other hand how cool would that be for them to return in the Spring (or whenever ducks...
I had my first scrambled duck egg this morning. I liked it, didn't love it but didn't hate it. I've been scared to eat them plain like that, but I got brave and did it. I only have one girl who started laying about 2 weeks ago, so I have been getting my first duck eggs. She lays one a day...
