    SAD SAD Month

    I live in Sapulpa OK. My run is 50x25 and I have a shade cloth and large trees over the run and that's the best I can do. I have NEVER lost birds in almost 3 years until the last few months. Well I say never, I mean never in the coop or run. If they free range as I love to let them do, the do...

    Had A Huge Coyote Raid last Night Only One Bird Left GRAPHIC PICS

    I am so sorry and I have loads of empathy for you. I had a very similar situation in the past few weeks. I have cried my eyes out. In fact my husband was teary when he had to call me at work to tell me about my babies. I know life is busy for you but eventually you may decide that you would like...

    SAD SAD Month

    They ripped the screws out of the wood. I am sure they worked at it for a few nights. I got the larger 1inch, I think, cloth and it was enough to get in and out. I have had birds for 2 1/2 and NEVER had anything like this. I guess it is the combo of the super cold winter and the dreadfully hot...

    SAD SAD Month

    I had 33 chickens in June and I have been so proud of my flock. They are quite a pampered bunch of birds..Or were pampered. I sell eggs locally to friends and family and I really just keep the birds because I think they are neat, only fellow chicken owners can understand. Well starting in mid...

    Ideal or McMurray?

    I would check to make sure they are actually coming from TX before you order. We had an order shipped last week and it came from NM not TX and the birds were stressed because of the cold transit. I have ordered from Ideal in the past and the customer service was great and the chicks were...

    Just got my Ideal Standard Special...think they sent Sebrights...

    Well, since they are not hatching Hamburgs right now...I viewed the breeds Privett has and I guess it has to be Ancona? That is the closest match I can find of the breeds they have available.

    Ideal using Privett to drop ship?

    Surprise indeed! I guess we just have to be happy they are females??? I guess that is our solace in all of this. They better be girls! We are still awaiting a reply from Ideal.

    Ideal using Privett to drop ship?

    So, a friend and I split an order of pullets from Ideal. We got 30 of the pullet surprise. Well, imagine our surprise when it took 2 days for them to arrive from TX. We are in OK and all Ideal orders have typically arrived in 1 day. Well look at the zip on the box and they are from NM and...

    help me out, what are these little creatures? EDIT: more pictures

    I'm not an expert so I hope I don't offend anyone but I think the little chipmunk looking ones could be light brown or dark brown leghorns. I had 2 like that last time I brooded and they turned out to be leghorns.

    Is it just me?

    I cooked him in a cooking bag with olive oil and cajun spices. He was tasty but, I was sooo worried about infection etc.. that I overcooked it a bit. He was a bit dry. Very tasty, and lots of meat but it wasn't as moist as birds that I have cooked in the past. I think it was also to the fact...

    Is it just me?

    So I finally did it, I processed my roos. And while I was processing I got so cold because it was 15degrees outside and I brought them inside the garage. It took me 3 hours to totally process them. I plucked them mostly but there were those pin feathers and I think my fingers were going to...
