I culled her this morning. In spite of my efforts, her neck wasn't getting any better. I used the broomstick method. I thought that would be the best way for her, not so much for me, (my first culling and ended up taking her head right off...eeeeek!!!) but she went really quick.

Hi all! I have one Roo and seven hens. One of the hens has a few feathers missing from her back, I had assumed it was caused by the Roo when he mounts her. Yesterday, I noticed that he's been trying to "run her out". She was walking along outside the run, and I happened to spot him beeline right...

It's been two days now and my chickens will not come out of that coop. I'll open their door for them and they'll take a peek out here and there, but want nothing to do with that white stuff that has invaded their run. I went out there a few times today just to make sure all was well, they...

My rooster (who normally is fairly nice, as in, gives me space) decided that he wanted to be the boss. I let the chickens out, and went to change their water. I was hunched over to put the new water in their dish and I felt wings flapping on the back of my legs. I spun around, and there is...

I have waited and waited and waited and waited for the time to come when I can hear that song from my girls. I have seven hens and a rooster, all of which are about 24 weeks old. I have had two of my hens laying for about a month or so, a partridge rock and a golden laced wyandotte. No egg song...

Well, my chicks are finally outside in their new digs. They loooooooooooooooooove it out there! I kept them strictly in the coop for about 3 days so they would get to know the place (read: until we got their run completed ). They know where their food and water is, they go in and out of there...

Those are the kids, obsessively pecking at the bottom of their brooder. Are they trying to escape? Do they like the color brown? Do they like the taste of cardboard? Who knows.....but they have been doing this since early this morning. They do take a break for a quick nap or a bite to eat (other...

Well, it appears all is well. We all survived the first night. Sleep was a little rough, though. Every time I got up, "well, might as well go check on the chicks, I'm up anyway" lol......

I'm soooooooo excited!!!!!!!! All 8 arrived healthy and pretty active. Already gobbling up their gro-gel and exploring their new home.

Coop is just about finished, brooder all set up and ready to go, all I need now are the chicks from MPC!! I am anxiously awaiting that phone call from the post office! 2 Barred Rocks 2 Partridge Rocks 2 Golden Wyandottes 2 Silver Wyandottes

Well, I did it. I ordered my first ever chicks from My Pet Chicken. 2 Barred Rocks, 2 Partridge Rocks, 2 Silver Laced Wyandottes and 2 Gold Laced Wyandottes. They'll be here in late May, that should give us plenty of time to get a coop built or a shed modified. I'm not sure which way we are...

I had originally planned on applying to the village board ( Clifton Springs NY ) for a chicken permit. I wrote a letter detailing everything right down to the chicken breed I was interested in keeping. I was supposed to go to a village board meeting on the 10th. Earlier that day we found out we...

Hi all! I'm from Clifton Springs NY. I do not have any chickens at present, I need a special permit to have them within the village. I wrote to the town board asking permission, so hopefully soon I'll get to experience the joys of chicken keeping!
