My first thought was POOR CHICKEN! That didn't change. But this is just to cool not to share with you all. (some may have already seen it) http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/01/21/biggest-chicken-egg-ever-surprise_n_2521038.html?utm_hp_ref=food&ir=Food

We just picked up some chicks, 1-4 days old. We didn't make it to the feed store before it closed (4 minutes late!). What can we feed them tonight until I can make it to the feed store in the morning?

I would be very willing to do some trading. I would like to build a flock of chickens, good egg layers, that would include other than the standard pullets from TSC. What I like to call "fancy" chickens (pretty, different colors, EE's etc). I would like to be able to tell them apart. I really...

My DH seems to think I spoil all our animals by providing way more than they need. Ok, I might be guilty of that but.... We have one coop now and I want to build another. This new one will be a divided coop with divided run so that we can run both hens and hens with a roo. (some of my...

I would LOVE some opinions and advice on some chickens. My hubby and I have had 12 chickens for about 3 years now. They are just your basic white chickens. (sorry, I haven't a CLUE what kind) They have been great egg layers giving us HUGE (almost duck size) eggs even though the chickens seem...

Joe and I just got home from the city meeting and I am soooooooooo relieved and happy. They have taken our son's home OFF the demo list! We still have a great deal of work ahead of us but atleast now we are not looking at doing all the work with the risk of it being for nothing. For those that...

I have a female "American pit bull terrier" named Ada that well, isn't really mine but I made her my responsibility. Her owners (which were two of the people that volunteered to help us with my son's house) were forced (due to the economy) to move back home with her parents and the town they...

3 1/2 years ago, my husband and I were able to buy our farm and move. The house we had been in for 10 years, we decided to pay off and keep for our son to live in or to sell to help pay off the farm. Due to some legal issues with the deed, we were not able to put the deed in our name until June...

I know life happens and well, to me it happens in full force sometimes. We bought our farm 3 1/2 years ago and I love it here but wow, I had forgotten how much work they are. Well, we also paid off the old house and have been trying to finish the remodeling that got started WAY back when. Our...

Ok, we had to move the chickens into the coop while it is still semi under construction. The main building is built and today we put up a temporary yard so we could shoo them outside while we put in the windows (welded wire with fold down siding flaps on the outside for bad/cold weather). We...

Where we are building the coop/run, the ground is VERY uneven. This poses a few problems with the run. Hubby wanted to build a moveable run but that isn't going to work as it won't sit right (in any of the places he talks about moving it to). So, my suggestion was to build the run to where...

There are many ways to get free lumber to build coops with. If you live anywhere near any new construction, go by and talk with the builder and ask if you can salvage any lumber from them. 2x8, 2x10 2x12 are often used for concrete forms. Once they have concrete on them, they can't be used...

We are starting off with 12 hens. This is the coop we have started to build and hope to have done (or mostly so) this weekend IF the rain will just stop. Please take a look at the "blue prints" and give me some feed back. Good or bad... You may have to go to full screen size to see all the...

Ok, so hubby and I are having an argument/discussion about the coop we are working on. I've not had chickens before unless you want to count the one's on my grandma's farm when I was a kid (they were 100% free range and had half a barn as a coop. Main question... Right now we have 12 hens and...
