Angus is doing super! He works well with the silkie roo that I still have, although his lady friend has apparently switched loyalties. He does a great job and my Mom loves him. I know I haven't been online much, I got a new job working for the County and they keep me insanely busy - training...

I've been AWOL (comp is down and got a new job!!) but I hope everyone had a wonderful New Years! My flock is doing super well, Angus and Timmy work together as if they were brothers ( and they roost next to eachother!), have a new coop setup and found this article. My Dad sent it over, I am...

You see, you are just encouraging me to feed my addiction.......****** chickens are like Lays chips, you can't have just 1...flock

And I think I'm gonna need you guys to talk me down from *gulp* squirreling up all winter to buy another coop and getting meat birds. I am so disappointed in the last few store chickens that I've gotten, they don't taste like anything. I go out of my way to order specality seasonings that...

Even in reduced daylight? The only artifical light they will get will be some LED christmas lights that are on a timer - just enough for me to find the wood pile and see the stairs, don't think it'll do much for the ladies. I was actually hoping they'd take a break for winter, lol. My fanny...

Wow, I do this to myself when I go AWOL due to work....just read the last 30+ pages, my head is going WOW!.. Some great photos, wish I had room for more birds here. The brabanter roo I got from tao is doing wonderfully! Angus is working together with Timmy, the runt silkie roo with no tail...

Averaging 11 eggs a day here, but had 16 yesterday! I'm now overloaded, what a great problem to have!

I am totally good with that! Still, I plan on letting them take it easy over winter.

I keep reading about these molts, all of my girls look just fine and are laying like champs...out of 16 hens I got 15 eggs yesterday, 12 the day before, etc. I told my Mom that production might slow down so we are making all of our freezeable cookie batters over the next 2 weeks. Now, all of...

He's about 6 months. Couldn't be a sweeter fellow, he just adores that ISA that hangs out with him.

Ooof, working overtime like a bear! On a super duper high note, Angus the Brabanter roo is doing splendidly! All the ladies have accepted him as the new king of the coop and he is doing a fine job of watching over them. Timmy the silkie cockerel is learning, lol. He has 1 ISA hen that sleeps...

Hooray! A thread on the breed! I just got a Brabanter roo and he is just the most darling fellow, Angus is a delight! I'm new-ish to chickens and had no idea that a roo could be such a cutie!

And the trade went well....and somehow I have the tiniest silkie roo I have ever seen, and I don't even like silkies. Timmy has got to be only like, 3 pounds but Angus seems to "like" him. Zero crowing, no pecking through the fences. We shall see, he was hand raised due to his oddly small...

So sorry to see this.

Oooooh! Hooray! The lady I got the BR roo from will take him back!........on condition that I take a very young cockerel instead. Fair with me. And her silkies are all spoken for, I don't quite rember who asked....once I make the trade off, I'll review the posts more thoroughly.

I wish I had an incubator but no. I have a lot going on here and really no time for tending chicks. I have many of Freddie's feathers and photos, that will do. Angus is a sweetheart, has really won himself a spot here.

Well, Angus is dping great... but that BR roo I picked up is BAD news. Gonna place the call to the processors tomorrow.....he's vicious towards my nicest hens! I'm not gonna chance it.

Yes, and getting the second on Friday (I love my friends but being guilt tripped into taking birds...what have I done??). We all figured that 2 is better than 1. Angus and Spice are liking the new pad! And I found out that a farm down the road from me sells quarts of cherry tomatoes (and other...

Sir Angus Young seems to really enjoy the snacks. He's very quiet, probably listening to all the ladies in the other area. Ginger (we are gonna call her Spice, Ma has named one Ginger already?!?!) is busy eating some cherry tomatoes somewhere....also super quiet!

Hooray, a banner day! 14 eggs, all huge! And now, lol, off to bed. Dreaming of fluffy scrambled eggs and gouger-somethings......these things! They are sooooo yummy! And grated cheddar is a wonderful substitute. http://www.saveur.com/article/Recipes/Classic-Cheese-Puffs
