I wouldn't believe it, but I saw it with my own eyed :hit it all started 3 days ago when one of my bantam hens showed up with 9 tiny hatchlings. needless to say I was shocked. pretty disappointed too. I thought this was over for the year . Any way the very next morning I heard the chicks...

I just got a small load of sand delivered and it has freshly laid turtle eggs in it. I know they are fresh because I accidently broke one while raking the sand . No stink, smells like a chicken egg lol. I don't want to kill them, but the sand is for the kids to play in. Anyone know what I...

my Japanese hen hatched 13 chicks over the past 3 days this morning I was checking on her and found one tiny chick laying down barely breathing. I picked it up and it was stone cold. I brought it in the house to give it a comfortable death . after about a half an hour it started to peep. I...

I have 30 + cherry fountain tomato plants. these are cascading cherry tomato plants. The kind you grow in hanging baskets or tall planters. Right on your deck or patio where your chickens can't get to them Dark red flavor filled tomatoes perfect for salads or snacking. I also grow bush steak...

Winter makes me anxious. I get so … Manic?, no , not manic, more like anxious to move down south or something. lol. I live in NY, zone 5. winter lasts FOREVER here. My DH bought me florescent lights, and got me a big shelf. I got out of control and have sooo many seedlings growing. It's...

My bantams collectively hatched 6 chicks. I was so excited and happy. They are teaching them to be chickens, but at night they ditch them. I even put a ramp up so the chicks can follow the mommas in the coop at night. Every night I'm out with a flashlight tracking down the tiny crying babies...

I have 4 broody Japanese hens setting on a pile of eggs for sometime now. Today I saw one yellowish chick with a white face. :celebrate They are purebred hens fraternizing with purebred roosters , but not all of them are Japanese. So more than likely they will be mixes. Maybe a few were...

I finally sold off all my big chickens. They were destroying my gardens that I worked on for 20yrs. I switch to just ducks and bantams. So far so good. Now sticking with chicken math, if I sold 14 large fowl that means I can get 25 new bantams, right??? So I did lol. The hatchery sent 2...

I have all my coops right next to my back door so I never forget to close them at night. It's kinda chaotic, but it works for us. :) It's still under construction but one day will be beautiful.:fl

I have a modern bantam rooster. He is evil!!! He started crowing at 3 1/2 weeks old. Now he's 5 weeks and today he started attacking the other chicks. 2 are bloody attacks. He's in chicken jail right now but he can't stay there all night. He's so cute but too evil for me.

one of my chicks has cross beak aka scissor beak. It's almost 4 weeks old and a rooster. I know I can't breed it, It's a bantam so not worth growing it out to eat it. It's not my favorite. Heck, I'm not even sure what breed it is. He came in an assortment special. The longer I keep him the...

I've been searching the internet for pictures of polish chicks that look like mine. I'm not having a lot of luck. lol They came in a bantam assortment from Ideal.

I can't look at their website. it says fatal error. I love looking a pictures of their chickens :hit:he:hit

Anyone care to guess? it looks like she has a black comb, or just a black beak and no comb yet? she is 2 weeks old.

:yesss: My ducks were hatched 3/13/07 and started laying yesterday 8/3/07 :yesss: I guess they aren't babies any more. the duck eggs are the 2 on the far right. the one in front of the giant duck egg is the other duck egg.

I'm hoping this is an EE. It might be wishful thinking. I know only time will tell. lol

I got this cuties yesterday. They are a clean legged assortment. I know it's too early to tell what they are, but I figure you all might like to guess.

:wee:wee:wee I am the proud mama of 25 assorted clean legged baby bantams. They were shipped from Ideal yesterday and I got them from the PO this morning. That was so fast. I didn't have the brooder tested for 24 hours like I like to do. They are sleeping under the momma heating pad right now...
