    Lots of questions.....first i find that these little darlings are super healthy and happy critters, easy to hatch and to keep. They eat everything! I just feed a good start grow lay ration for the first couple months and then might change to laying pellets. The pellets are not too big at all...

    Hi Warmheart [love that name] speaking from my experience only, I think the D'Anvers are much friendlier. They would be a good chioce for a "pet" chicken to spoil. Your little hen was gorgeous! So sorry for your loss, but you know you gave her special love and care, sometimes thats all you can...

    WOW thanks for all the pictures, I think I like them all, but I'll have to be content with what I have right now, and work from there, hoping later this summer to maybe able to buy some different colors. There doesn't seem to be a "bad" color in this breed. You all have some beautiful birds.

    Hi everyone, What a great day yesterday was, I got to meet Nanakat, [Kathryn] and see her terrific flock/flocks of birds. I just about fainted when I saw her Cochins, I had never seen LF Cochins before and they were HUGE! And so beautiful. I had to have some! I got a couple Wyandottes also...

    Nanakat I just now saw your post, and I am so sorry about Miss Piggy! I know you loved her! Such a shame I bet she really was a sweet bird. Bad things have been happening in our little chicken world here, thank God for all the new wonderful chicks to cheer us up. Thanks everyone for the great...

    Gosh Speckledhen that is terrible. Fires are so awful, they make me sick, I hope you can get most of your stuff repaired or replaced with as little trouble as possible. Fire and smoke do much more damage than first appears. You are in my prayers. Cheryl

    YES! I'd love for you to do that, I'll send pics right away. And from what you commented I take it my roo is not "Chicken & Dumplin" quality? I sure love him, he is GOOD boy. All eggs were fertile! He is sweet and gentle and just a joy to have around. Cheryl

    I just candled the eggs and all seem to be doing good. So far every d'Anver egg is fertile since the very first one. I'm impressed. Should have little d'Anver chicks this weekend. Question........why can I not see anywhere to post a picture? I just have a square to write in and no option for...

    Hi! I'm doing something wrong but don't know how to fix it. When I write I leave spaces and make new sentences and it looks right from here, when I post it it just all runs together.... And I guess when I try to quote someone it comes out bad also... Bear with me, please.
