Yay! We got our first egg today! It is a good size for a pullet egg too! It has been forever since we have had fresh eggs. Hopefully, the rest will start pretty quick.

Just doing a quick check in. Not much has been happening around here with all the rain. I finally got out today and got the coop cleaned out and laid new bedding. The rain has made quite the mess out of the coop floor. It was quite the stinky, damp mess. I am glad I got it done though and it...

Just a quick question that I know the answer too but want to double check. It has been several years since I have had young birds. I am pretty sure that that it is ok to switch them to layer feed now but want to make sure since they haven't started laying. I really don't want to buy another bag...

If you look for the thread titled consolidated Kansas in this section you will find all of us from Kansas. There are many of us from the Wichita area. Just come on over and introduce yourself. there are many knowledgeable people over there that can help you with anything you have questions about!

We also eat only local honey. We buy ours from Cox farm on south Seneca since it is a lot closer than food for thought.

Danz i'm sorry about your dad. I will be keeping him and you in my prayers.

Congrats!!! She is gorgeous!!

They will be here tomorrow. I got my message on tues night and the birds were at my local post office at 7:30 thurs morning. I just assumed that they sent out the email the night before they actually shipped. I had forgot how fast chicks grow! They are doing well and have their wing feathers and...

My first chick question! One of my babies has a little spot that hasn't healed completely where the cord was attached. At first, I thought she had pasty butt but on closer look her vent area is clear and it is lower on her backside/belly. Her down gets all matted down with dried clear stuff...

No problem, Verna. I hope as the days go on your pain will lessen. I am upset for you. Please think about waiting to have Fluff fixed. You may want another litter from him later on down the line with a future female. I just want to to be sure that is what you want to do and not a rash decision...

I am still sad for you, Danz. I have thought about poor Cloud and you most of the day. I hope your neighbor will make a complaint and the person will at least get in trouble for shooting on their property.

These dogs the ladies are talking about are livestock guardians. They can not be fenced in if they are working dogs. Predators will learn that the dogs can't get past their fence and then they will start to lose livestock. I agree with you that "pet" dogs should be contained but for guardian...

I'm so sorry, danz. I know how much your dogs mean to you. I hope you find the sob that did it.

Yep, the shed is up. I just need to finish cutting more ventilation and make a pop door. I don't plan on letting them out for another month at least so I have time to get that done before then. The babies are in the house for tonight and I will get them moved out to the coop tomorrow after work...

Our babies came today!!! They are so cute! I forgot how tiny new chicks are. The kids are in love! I'm sure I will be back with questions about things I have forgotten since we have had chicks last. They put in four extras that I'm not sure what they are yet. Pretty sure a couple are GLW but not...

Wichita folks do you know if I need to call the post office about my chicks that are being shipped on April 3rd? If I do need to call would I call the local substation or the main one at the airport? Or will they just call me when they come in? I am not sure how it all works since it is my first...

Hi guys!! I haven't been around for quite a while but I'm back now. There are a lot of new people here! I'm glad more people are getting into chickens. I am getting ready to start putting my new coop together this week since my chicks will be here on 4-3! Not much longer to wait now! I have...

Hawkeye did you make sure to include the price for new car seats for your kids? Every time a car seat is in an accident it has to be replaced. The insurance should credit you the money to go buy new ones. If you already knew this, I'm sorry. I am somewhat of a car seat nazi. Lol It is amazing...

FYI If you are on fb, Josie, there is a group called Kansas Cloth Diaper Talk and Swap. They are mostly ladies from around the Wichita area but most also ship and accept payment via paypal. The ladies on there are a wealth of knowledge and there are lots and lots of super cute dipes for sell...

Could he have an ear infection? They always make my balance off.
