You are so awesome Hattie! I am so not surprised that you spent time talking chickens with him. It sounds just like you. Isn't it amazing how having something in common with a person can remove barriers and allow us to spend time with someone that we might not have before? I...

Kimmy, here is a bit of info that I found on My Pet Chicken. I wonder if the reason that so many people feel that they have to get rid of their birds by 2 is because of what factory producers do. Personally, I don't think I want to do anything that the commercial people do with their animals...

She is sure beautiful! I really like the way her face is orange and her ears are black. You have a good heart and she was sure lucky to get dumped at your place.

Wow! That's so great that your (used to be) chickens are doing so well at the fair. Bummer about the clipped wings. It makes me smile and chuckle a bit when I think of that little Silkie not standing up. So cute! I guess that's what happens when you spend all of your time watching TV and...

Funny thing is, things like this article come out every little bit and freak people out but I have found that give it some time and someone will tell you the opposite. It is like the big "don't eat any fat" craze. They found out later that there are good kinds of fat that your body needs that...

I keep staring at this smiley face. It makes me think of Hitler for some reason.......

Oh my gosh Red you are so much fun! I love reading your posts, you have such a unique perspective and a great sense of humor.

Such sweet pictures. I love seeing baby chicks being raised by mommas and being in a family. I'll bet they are learning a lot from her. See, she is even teaching them to use a plate Jealous!!! I am so glad that you are getting out of town for a while. You deserve it!

Wgidir - I am so sorry that your Silkie turned out to be a roo this morning. It's a bugger that it turned out to be the one you are so attached to. I have one that looks just like yours that I have been hoping won't turn up crowing one of these mornings. Blujems - I hope your goat is OK. I...

Sigh... teenage chicken pregnancy. What is this world coming to?

Yaaaaayyyyy!!!! We found Ivy today! She was in the neighbor's shed. My mom could hear all sorts of clucking nextdoor and saw their golden retriever with his head in the shed door and his foot lifted (I've never heard of one pointing before). Thank heavens it was a golden retriever...

Oh my gosh! You guys are freakin' hilarious!!!!

https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/209821/chicken-moat-anyone-else-have-one Hey, has anyone heard of this? Reminds me of the system that I saw on the chicken tour that reminded me of hampster tubes. We could let the chickens run around during the day to get under trees and bushes to cool off...

Aunt Hattie - No it wasn't a silkie that the hawk got yesterday, it was a Rhode Island Red named Ivy. When the hawk came back again today it was the Silkies that he tried for but my mom was able to scare him away. Thankfully he missed this time but I'm sure he will be back. Cynthia -...

Wow. Those are beautiful Hattie! I am looking forward to seeing your little Ameraucanas. Sundance - I knew Darkness was a winner when I saw her on Red's post. Congratulations on all of your winnings. I'm sorry to hear about your NN's accident. I wonder what happened. Sad news. It's...

Thanks for the pictures Red!!! It is fun seeing other BYCer's grand adventures. Love the artwork at the end. Sundance I love the way your cute Auracana is standing up straight and looking into the camera. She is pretty, knows how to pose, and has the confidence of a champion. She...

We have horses but we don't have any land so we rent some down west of town. One day we drove down to feed them and one of our horses was gone. Scared us to death! Then we heard her whinnying and found her in a neighbor's pasture. I guess she must have seen our car pull in and was trying to...

Hey, I think I remember someone saying they were trying to find a home for some bantam cochin hens. Is that right or was I imagining things? You never know with me My mom has a little cochin that is currently living with 4 silkies and she is the odd man out. She would like to get another...

Oh my gosh Lisa I am soooo sorry! What an awful thing to have to go through I am just sick for you and your little boy.

Hooray for Whittni and Sundance! (Whittni I love your holding pen for your chickens) The Utah Chicken Forum is kicking BUTT! I can just hear Queen singing "We Are the Champions" in the background. Look, he is evening doing chicken wings
