So, I was just curious, are these actually Khaki Campbells? I dunno, I just expected them to look more, well, Khaki. These look more chocolate

So I went out to light the eggs in the nests to see where they are at developmentally. While I was in the coop, our barnvelder hen, who was roosting on the ground, started flopping around like someone had cut her head off. I don't know if this was a seizure, or if she's just "special" or what...

So, I was cleaning out the coop today and came across a mouse nest. there were several rather young mice in it so I did what anyone would do. I picked up the lot of em and tossed em out the door The chickens went crazy and started fighting over the young mice. So, it got me thinking. In...

So, I decided to do something similar to Wifezilla's thread of AquaDuckPonics experiment except we hatched three chicks and a quail from our first incubator hatching. I am going to take pics once a day of each one and post them to show the development The three chicks are two days old today...

Ok, so I'm gonna post something similar in the CO thread, but figured I'd hit both places in case there are people paying attention to one but not the other I'm looking to raise some Bourbon Reds next spring and wondered if there was in anyone in CO who was raising them who I could get chicks...

So, I need to know something. How much like humans are chickens? Do they try to breed before they should? Or do they just know when it is ok? And should a rooster who is barely two months old be trying to breed a pullet that is also barely two months old? not a sight I particularily...

So, I'm currently watching the new show Beekman Boys on Planet Green and all I can think is "OMG this is us in a couple years!"! So, apparantly this show is about a two man couple that are farming for the first time. One is on the farm full time and one works in the city during the week. And...

We ordered our chicks through SandHill Preservation Center. I do not, in any way, hold them responsible. However, out of the 27 chicks sent, only five are at this moment alive. It was so heartwrenching to open that box and see all those dead bodies inside. And now, I am left feeling sad for...

I am not going to get a wink of sleep tonight, which will be unfortunate because I spent all day getting their home ready and I am bloody exhausted! The 11 babies are outside in their new home and I fully expect rats and racoons and coyotes and snakes and rabbits to kill and eat them tonight...

It could turn into one. Does anyone know anything about chicks and incense(sp)? I know cig smoke and household cleaners can kill parakeets, and I assume they do the same to chicks but I could be mistaken, but what about the incense? Is it harmful? Is there a problem? Am I going to kill them...

How do I keep my wonderful, beautiful, stupid birds from scratching bedding chips into their waterer and covering their food trough??!! They like to scratch their bedding until it completely covers their food, and then when I uncover it they go crazy eating it! And twenty minutes after I put...

So, this past monday we bought eight chicks (each one a different breed of course ) and we brought them home. Today I called the store (Murdochs) to find out just how old these chicks are. The answer I was given, and was told that it could not be any more specific than this, was that they are...
