    Our new coop build - the "Little Red Cottage Coop"

    In the fall of 2013, I sadly made the decision to rehome all of my chickens because they were being picked off one by one by a hungry bobcat in the area. The coop I had at the time did not have an enclosed run, so unless I wanted to keep them locked up all the time, there was no way I could...

    What breeds are these?

    These two came as "freebie" eggs along with some wheaten/blue wheaten amerucana hatching eggs I got this summer. They are from very dark brown eggs. Anyone know what breed? And I think they are both hens - am I right?

    I am devistated. Every single one of my hens were slaughtered by some predator last night that got into their coop. I feel so horrible. I am posting this so others can learn from my mistake. They were in the type of coop with a run underneath it. I had boards that were buried in the ground...

    Chickens can't keep up with the demand for egg buyers! Whoo-hoo!

    A few weeks ago we had eggs coming out of our ears. We were giving them to anyone who came over but still couldn't get rid of them fast enough. About two weeks ago I put a sign out at the end of our drive for eggs. We live outside a very small town basically in the middle of the woods, I...

    Rooster's foot got stepped on by horse

    I feel so bad; my rooster's foot got stepped on this morning by my horse. I know all too well how much that can hurt - and he is so much smaller than I am! He's not putting any weight on his foot, he is holding it up and hopping around. It is somewhat swollen (although not grossly so), I can...
