Where did you get them from? They're so cute!

Welcome! You're close to me. We got our pumpkins from Lehner's and really enjoyed the area.

Thanks! I'll check them out. I ordered 15 chicks from the Bantam Grab Bag, 2 Frizzled Cochin, the Meal Maker, Vital Pack and GroGel from Meyer tonight. I set pick up for March 20th. I was going to schedule a May pick up, but I'm impatient. I've used Vital Pack with all of my chicks, but this...

I have a question. I know co-ops and feed mills have been brought up before, but are there any in the area of Marengo, Mt. Gilead, Delaware and Marion that anyone can recommend? When I buy from someone that mentions feed mills they always live well beyond an hour from me so I haven't actually...

I bought Silkies, d'Uccles and OEGBs from TSC last year that did well. I'll keep that in mind though.

Yeah. I was thinking maybe 15 of the all pullet Rainbow assortment and 10 of the bargain birds to make sure I get a good number of pullets. I'm also thinking about holding off on an order and just seeing what the feed stores get in. It's not way out of the way to drive to Polk, but there are a...

I love the meal maker. I got a really sweet red hen the first time I added one. The next one died within 24 hours. I'll probably get 25 of the Adopt Me assortment since it's straight run. If I don't go with that I might go with 15 of the All Pullet Rainbow Pack. The Adopt Me Bargain is a...

I lost my whole flock at the start of fall and I'm thinking about starting over this spring using the Adopt Me bargain from Meyer. We'll be getting my in-laws' property around May so we'll certainly have the room for it. It could be pretty fun.

This girl came to visit yesterday. She helped herself to my squash and then went on her way.

Thanks. I'll check the quail threads.

Thank you, but I was thinking of ideas that didn't have to do with size. I would go back to bed if I saw a quail the size of my orpington. I designed my chicken coops in a way that minor edits could change them into rabbit or quail housing. I was thinking more along the lines of personal...

I keep debating on selling or trying to trade some of my extra chickens for rabbits or quail. I'm not really sure what to do. I really miss having rabbits, but I've never had quail. Ideas?

They were really pretty and sweet. The female died and then we came home to find the boys dead the next day. All six came from the same hatchery so it was probably just bad stock. I lost the original three a day after I brought them home. Thankfully, my OEGB boys are doing well.

I lost all three of my mille fleur d'Uccles for the second time. I love the mille fleur coloring, but that's six d'Uccles I've lost this year. I think I'll try a different breed.

There is something twisted about walking out of a colon Sounds interesting.

Sorry it's not chicken related, but it is Ohio related. Has anyone been to COSI? We were going to go see their video game exhibit, but I have never been to COSI and it's been years since my husband last went. I wanted to know if COSI was worth the entry fee.

The storm was annoying here last night. We got hit with three good runs of wind, rain, thunder and lightning. I kept waking up all night. Thankfully, my husband was home on time so I didn't have to sit through all of the worst part alone. Surprisingly, there weren't any tree branches in the yard...

The storm just hit here. I'm terrified of storms and home alone. Just one county over has a tornado watch. I grew up in California. These things freak me out every year. I really wish we had a house with a basement instead of a trailer. I'm hoping my husband gets home on time tonight instead of...

We're in progress on a long 8ft coop. We're hoping to move soon, but I needed more space so I designed a coop that would be easy to take with us. So far the only cost has been in screws, hinges, locks and a sheet of plywood. We already had most of the expensive stuff.

We went to the feed store today and I saw the small prefab coops out front. I joked about buying one and calling it the "Serama Palace." My husband said, "Those are just displays. I'm sure the real ones are larger than that." I laughed and said, "That's the actual size. Those are the $200...
