    Review by '' on item 'Barred Rock'

    We had a barred rock for about two years before a predator got her. She was talkative and social with humans, and bonded with a red sex link. She took a few months to warm to us, but when she did, she was the shoulder bird every land-bound pirate didn't know they needed. Bottom of the pecking...

    GLuten free feed??????

    Glad people are noticing the things that effect eggs. I honestly just thought I was allergic to eggs and, well, everything. Turns out some pesticides can trigger a Celiac response, too. The pesticides don't seem to have as dramatic an effect on the eggs as strongly as gluten [for me] does...

    Hey Dinosaur. Sounds like you're in a similar boat. We're in Upstate NY, Celiac, and wondering the same. Let us know if you get anywhere with that. Looked at your suggestion, Cindy, and it'll no doubt be helpful for some. Alas, autoimmune messes.

    Desert Chickens

    We've got a Silkie/Barred Rock mix with feathered feet, so it's possible Henny's a Marans with some Silkie mixed in if they're selling 'em around there. Hope Modena pulls through. It's tough.

    @Gramma Chick Chick sexing has apparently been an art form here since the 1930s.

    Hey guys. Long time no see. We've finally started venturing into the realm of rooster keeping. Wish us luck. We also tried our luck with getting four pullets... whom three of turned out to be cockerels. Oh well. They're getting along with the flock so far - the three are all part Silkie, and...

    Silkies

    One thing that helps is always introducing new chickens by twos or more. Our Silkies/Silkie mixes integrated well into our flock. They were between the ages of 2 and 6 months at introduction. There was some fighting between the pure Silkie rooster (6 months) and this usually quiet but high...

    Hey folks. It is finally time for us to start considering expanding our flock again by a couple of pullets. If you want to plan to sell us pullets in the summer - awesome, we'll plan for that. If you happen to already have an excess of pullets sitting around? Even better. We're looking for...

    "Wild" Chicken

    Looks like one of your neighbors lost a Golden Sebright.

    A lust for flesh?

    We never had issues this extreme, but wild birdseed has helped fill in a lot of the gaps that flock raiser feed (which is more satisfying to them than layer feed) leaves. They may be resorting to cannibalism due to a lack of fat in their diets.

    Fried squash flowers are considered a delicacy, so it may not be a total loss. Bon apetite.

    Here's a handy tool for people who cook near a computer of any sort. Fingers crossed. As long as no one with malicious intent is watching and counting, you should be good. Bonus points if they're the same colors.

    Oh Craigslist, You Amuse Me So!

    Saw an ad recently for three runaway hens that ended up at someone's home. They were described as "leghorns" that "lay pretty good eggs". Pictured was a legit purebred blue Andalusian, looking quite pleased with herself.
