Thanks RustyHen. For some reason I think I might feel dirty eating this first little egg, so I'm going to try to blow it out and decorate it. It's the most exciting thing to happen to me in a long time, and I can't wait to go check for another today. I only have three pullets, so might be awhile...

Wow, Where'd everyone go? It's finally my turn to brag about that first little egg! I'm just so darned excited!!!!!

So, how 'bout them Hawks!!! Anyone's young pullets started laying yet? Not here. Do I wait until they do before I switch to layer feed?

Sarevan, We're glad you found us! When I was a kid I had to pluck feathers once. As an adult I quit eating meat, but love the eggs! I'm still waiting for the first egg, my three Brahma pullets are only 6 1/2 mos. old, so as soon as the daylight hours get longer I should have some.This is my...

Tikkijane,Wow, that would be something to see... all those chickens packing their bags for a move to Yakima! It gets pretty cold there, but at least it's dry, so they would be fine. What a long trip though. Best of luck to you. I ordered my three girls from My Pet Chicken. My minimum order was...

Tikkijane, Do you really have 30+ hens? I'm not planning to sell hatching eggs, just keep my flock happy, and I think with large fowl Brahmas is's okay to have fewer, like 4 or 5:1. It doesn't much matter anyway, my main concern is possibly having regrets later on. Thanks for taking the time to...

Spring really will be here before we know it. The days are getting longer already and we don't have any snow cover. Hopefully soon though. We're going to need it for irrigation, and also I have many plants depending on snow cover for insulation. I've got two extremely docile Brahma's, and I want...

Hope everyone is having a wonderful day. Just wanted to touch base with you. It's been a long time. Ninetrees, congrats!!! Our first winter here we were in a travel trailer while we built the garage. Then we moved into the garage while we built the house. What an adventure. I learned so much...

Thanks for checking,PalChick. I'm hoping that as Costco expands organic feed sales, that our state will be included. If that happens, then maybe some more feed stores on this side will carry Scratch n Peck. Would be really nice. Yesterday was miserably cold and wet. All the hills around here...

Fosterson, you just made my day!!! So glad to hear about Stumpy. She's probably been eating the mouser's mice. Lol. Great story. Thanks for sharing!

Just read on the random ramblings forum that Costco in CA.is selling organic chicken feed. I think it was 20. for a 40# bag. Has anyone seen it in our state yet? I've seen their little coops at Yakima and Wenatchee, but not the feed. Sometimes it's easier to get to Costco than the feed store. If...

Just checking in. Want to welcome all of our newer members. We're all pretty new here.It's been a busy summer for everyone I'm sure. Once the chores dwindle, and the weather turns colder with shorter days, we spend a lot more time chatting here, so don't give up on us. lovinchickypoos, omg...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

ClickerChick, I've never washed a chicken, but have stuck my feather legged Brahma's feet under the faucet, and I know they don't like that much. Chickengarden, is that Leavenworth fire near you? Stay safe.

Hi Bloominginger Welcome aboard! We're all pretty new here, some of us more than others. My chicks are 5 weeks old, and the new one I hatched is 3 days old. I'm so new at this that I hadn't even thought about non gmo. feed. Don't know how far east you are, but I bet your local farm supply...

Glad you and daughter are doing well Chae. Saturday's hatch was so beautiful. Now to the reality of this little chick who has imprinted with humans and thinks he needs to be held all day. He cries so loudly it makes me want to run away. There's so much to do around here and I don't know what I...

That's so nice Chae. There's nothing like good friends. It's funny, the little things we take for granted(like a nap) become so treasured once baby comes. How have you and her been doing?

Hi everyone! I'm so excited! After losing three of the six chicks during shipment last month, someone from Florida was kind enough to send me some Gold and Blue Partridge Brahma hatching eggs. Since my chick luck was already low, I was sure I'd somehow fail at hatching too, and sure eough for...

Thanks, Ninetrees. Maxx has always looked like a pup, even though he's 5. He's been a wonderful friend, and not nervous like some of the Shepherds we've had. I really love the breed, but with every pup, we stepped up and paid the higher price with a different breeder, only to end up with some...
