Carla, Charles and I will be coming. I'm not sure what I'm bringing yet - I'm thinking pasta salad and/or cinnamon chip scones. Looking forward to seeing you again (and little Peaches). See you tomorrow

I agree - an inside look into the breeding pairs and the process would be much appreciated. I think we are all curious and would love to see where our little babies came from. I liked the video but I wanted to see more!

Yes, I would like to know the outcome of this story too - did your chicken recover? I'm going through the same thing right now with my cochin and I would like to know what happened or what you think was the problem.

I have a personal recommendation for a chicken vet in San Antonio, TX. I have used her several times and she is very knowledgeable about chickens and birds of all kinds. She successfully performed a very intensive surgery on my chicken after a dog attack. She really works with you and teaches...

I'm so sorry about your dog :aww My recommendation for a good inexpensive covering for a run is simple bird netting/flight-top netting. They sell it at Lowe's in large spools and the plastic kind is not very expensive. This will keep hawks from swooping down and entering the run but it won't...

Quote: Oh, I'm so glad it's not a breed thing then. It was heart-breaking to have to give away my Faverolle but she was over-the-top noisy and flighty and she just wasn't suitable for a backyard chicken. Perhaps I'll try Faverolles again in the future when I live in a more suitable place with...

Ellie, your Ruby and Willow are gorgeous! Ruby has the richest red color of any red cochin I've seen. I love cochins too. Like you, I've been so impressed with my golden-laced standard cochin Myrtle that I plan to get more in the future. Brahmas too - they go well together actually. Big, fluffy...

I just returned from having to give away my little Salmon Faverolle hen because she was too loud. She was as noisy as a rooster, constantly crowing and often having prolonged outbursts of screeching like a monkey. I'm sure everyone on our street and the next street over were wondering which...

Quote: Thanks for this info - I've been wondering about this. Mine have developed the bad habit of eating an almost exclusively protein-centered diet - fish being their food of choice. I have tried several types of laying feed, including an expensive organic one but they just refuse to eat it...

Quote: Oh, it's so true - well put. I know what you're going through - it's the typical small-town mentality of being threatened by anything unusual or out of the ordinary. I had to move from the rural midwest to the metropolis of San Antonio, TX in order to be able to keep chickens in my...

What a fantastic coop - you've really outdone yourself. Those are some very lucky chickens. The Tiki guards are great - I love it. I hope they make any predator think twice before trying to invade your fantastic coop.

whoops, sorry I only now just saw that the contest ended at noon PST - sorry

Congratulations Olivia - well done! I'm so happy for you and your family! You've done a great service for chickens and for the chicken-keeping hobby - thank you! Tara

Quote: GOOD LORD! I would be packing my bags the night it stayed 90 after the sun went down! I'm a home grown Wisconsinite! Were lucky to reach 90 in the mid of summer in daylight! And when it does I'm in a/c Oh I forgot to add...right now IN DAYLIGHT it's 60...my type of temps...

I've got all my friends over at Pet Chickens of Texas voting for you and several of them have sent it to their friends ah, the power of the internet . . .
