CONGRATS Cynthia! WTG!

CONGRATS!! And good luck w/ the degree!!

Hi guys! Does anyone have or know of anyone in NJ that has 1 to 2 ducks they can sell me? Or give away to a good home? A friend of mine had someone watching her 3 young ducks while she was away and they didn't lock them up one night and something carried 2 of them away. (RIP Sweet Petey and...

Hey Jen! Do you have any bantam cochin pullets/hens left (the older the better)? I am in NJ also. I just recently had an old standard Cochin hen die (natural causes--she was ancient!) who was housed w/ one of my Silkie roo's and now he's all alone. He definitely needs a girlfriend and...

Does anyone else have an opinion on this one? Hen or rooster?? After watching Splash closely this past weekend, I am really thinking it's a girl. I don't see a prominent crown or waddles poking through yet. Gosh, I can't remember when my rooster's started being noticable.....does anyone...

CONGRATS on the babies!!! They are just adorable! And you are right, having the mom around makes it so much easier! LOL I just recently had a Silkie chick hatch and I really didn't have to do much except provide the food and water at a reachable height.....mom did everything else! (And to...

Thanks! I am really hoping for a girl....or else I'll have to put an addition on the coop!!

Here's a pic of my baby Splash at 11 weeks old. What do you guys think? Boy or girl?? And here's another pic of Splash with Papa Gandalph. I'll try and get more this weekend and post them. It was getting late and the light wasn't so good.

Fort Scramble............!!!!!!!!!! How hysterical!!!!!! I love it! I call mine "The Chicken Tower". Because I was in a rush to get the house built, to save time, I went with the idea that the less wood I had to cut, the faster I'd get it built. So, since my 2X4's were 10 feet long, I...

Yeah!!! I am so happy that you found your baby!!! I would have been sick w/ worry, too!!! What a relief to know she made it through the night ok!!! The chicken angel was watching over her!!

I used the galvanized can w/ the bungee cords over the top as well. I also saw the racoon and critter proof cat/dog food hard plastic containers (w/ the screw top) in the supermarket the other day. They also have them in the pet stores (but less expensive in the supermarket). They hold alot...

Hey Bluie! I'm in Mercer County, NJ....about 1.5 hours from NYC and we have many feed stores here. Could you ask your local pet store shop or pet store chain to order the feed for you the next time they place a feed order? Maybe you could a few bags at a time. Let me know if you need the...

Follow the Leader!

I'm in NJ and it can get a mite cold here, too. I built a 4' X 8' coop (Ceiling 8' high) and hang a single red heat lamp (the same one I brooded them with) in the coop once it really starts to get cold out at night. I have found that it is enough to keep the temp above freezing in there. The...

Gigiuno, Rosedale Mills in Pennington, NJ always has chickens for sale...Auracana's I'll bet, too. Sorry about your chicken!!! How sad.

I definitely can't give Roosty some of Gandalph's hens b/c they can all see each other, although seperate. Gandalph would probably freak out trying to get to his "girl" and the transported hen would also freak out. They have all been together since coming from the hatchery as day olds. I just...

Oh man! My chickens LOVE tomatoes!!!!!!!!!! Look out! Ans strawberries, too! Greyfields, I have a funny story for you about grapes. When my chickens were just about 8-9 mo old I was feeding them grapes in the evening just before dusk. They were gobbling them up! I could not bite them in...

Hi guys! I'm not sure where exactly to post this, so I put it here. I have two sections in my coop to seperate the roosters. On one side there's Gandalph w/ his harem and on the other is Roosty (not an original name, but nothing really ever fit! LOL) w/ his Henny Penny hen. Well, Henny died...

I had a HUGE Cochin rooster named Rocky (he was a rescue-got him as an older gentleman) and he was the most docile, sweetest, responsible (w/ his hen), trusting rooster I ever met!! (RIP Rocky-miss ya bud!) Currently I have a very sweet white 3 yo Silkie rooster named Gandalph. I raised him...
