Last year I made some wool felt hen ornaments. I wanted to make an ornament for each breed of chicken I have kept, but I only got around to making three- Buff Orp, Speckeled Sussex and Buckeye. Maybe someday I will finish the rest! **I am having trouble posting the pics but I will try...

I have a Buckeye hen that I would like to sell. She is 2 years old, and while I like the breed I get quite annoyed at their broodiness. I have a pair of them left from the eggs I bought from Buckeye Dave (www.buckeyedave.com) and I am going to keep one and sell the other so I only have to deal...

I wanted to mention that some of the gray coloring you see on some of the chick's backs is from when I had to spray Blu-Kote on some of them when they were 2 weeks old. They were pecking bloody spots on one another and the Blu-Kote stopped it- however that stuff sure takes forever to wear off!

I have 5 Light Sussex chicks that I am trying to sex. Will you please help me? The pictures aren't great, it was a windy day today so the feathers ruffled in the wind, and I had to snap the pictures quickly before the chicks flew off the roof of the coop. One of them is obviously a cockerel...

Quote: Hi Chemguy! I am originally from Springfield, and my parents still live there- sounds like they are located close to you. I can't help you on where to get your supplies, but I am sure there are plenty of feed stores close to you. Have fun building your flock!

Thanks for the update Sean- Yay on that first egg!

I like this one of my Austrolorp. It looks like she is talking to me

This looks a bit complicated than it need be- but, what a cute little coop! http://www.lowescreativeideas.com/idea-library/projects/Fowl_Play_0511.aspx

Congratulations Sean!!!! This was a fun contest. I am looking forward to more in the future!

I just had my hatch, and the first chick to pip also did not make it. It struggled for 2 days to get out of the shell. He got the bottom half of the shell off and his little legs are out, but he could not get the top half off from around his head. I have learned from experience that it is...

Well, it is Wednesday and I have 8 chicks in the bator. The first one that pipped got his legs out, but he is stuck in the top half of his shell and will not make it (opening the bator may have adversely affected him if he had already pipped through the shell membrane). Poor thing has been...

My eggs are due to hatch on Wednesday. Today is Monday, and I opened the incubator to take out the egg turner. Lo and behold I heard cheeping, and when I took a closer look I noticed that 4 of the eggs had pips! I quickly moved the eggs, took out the turner, added water to the trough, and...

I feel kind of silly even posting this, but it is really getting on my nerves. I have had hens for 5 years now, and they are pretty clean in the nest box. I have had poop in the nest box before, but it is usually when I have a broody hen in there, or just a random poop once in awhile. I have...

Wow, this one is SO MUCH better than the ones you had the past 2 years! I didn't suspect AT ALL~

PLEASE list again soon!!!

Quote: Meyer Hatchery in Polk, Ohio has Buff Orpington eggs. (Link goes to the ordering page for them.) I am in Columbus and I *really* want two Buff Orpington pullets to add to my flock--but I need them already started. Let me know if you'd like to work something out. Dawn I will do that...
