    Hey LazyGardener, The chickens I bought from you last summer are the best! I got 3 black ones and two goldenish ones. Two girls are laying blue eggs, one a green and two brown. They survived the winter impeccably, no frost bite whatsoever. They did lay through the winter not much but enough...

    Good morning! I got five chickens from you. Three black and two partridge. One of the partridges has white ears and the other has red. They are all super healthy and fiesty! On two occasions one of the black ones has flown out of my run! Which has about 8 foot high fencing around it!

    Good Afternoon! I got my first egg to today from the pullets I got from Lazy. I think one of the black ones laid it, since she was in the flower pot nest box when I went to to check. It's a cute little lite brown egg. I hope the other girls lay different colors. So, exciting to finally get an...

    OMG your quilt is so awesome! I love it! I wish I could sew.. Hey, I deliver the mail in Lincoln (the lincoln north of bangor). But I think you may mean the lincoln plantation in oxford county, right? Have you ever made a quilt with a chicken design on it?

    My rooster is about 3.5 yrs old. He hasn't tried to mate any of my pullets. He's always been a good rooster though.

    The lighter colored partridge girl is the top bird. I had to catch them the second day I had them. I caught all the black ones first, just like you did when we put them in the cage!

    Aww, super cute, Lazy. My new girls are doing well. They now come when I call them. They are exploring the run more and more every day. I can tell which one is going to be the top hen. I can't wait to see what color eggs they lay!

    Good Morning! I just wanted to share the photos I took of my new girls that I got from LazyGardener. My previous girls were all wiped out because of this stupid Bleeping fox family! The only chicken the foxes didn't get is my polish rooster Count Casameer. He was terribly lonely for a few days...

    I think my chickens may be in the early stages of molting! Anyone else have molting chickens?

    I'm not sure about using the ice melter. I got the damp rid because I was sure it is just calcium chloride. a little goes along way, I've had the box for two years now. You can get it at most drug stores probably walmart or target too. I've spread it on all my veggie plants not just tomatoes. It...

    Lazy~ I get my calcium chloride from a box of DampRid. I couldn't find the ice melting kind at the time I bought it. I use 1 to 2 tables per gallon of water. Then I put it in a spray bottle and mist my tomatoes until the leaves drip. It helps to prevent blossom end rot and helps them to grow...

    Yes, my chickens love japanese beetles. I try and collect them once a day with a mason jar with a little water on the bottom of it. It's true they love grape vines. They also love primrose, I let some grow just to pick the japanese beetles off them. Luckily, (knock on wood), no yellowing...

    So, my coop is covered in DE as a preventative measure against lice/mites. Yesterday, I was cleaning out the coop and noticed these super tiny little grayish/brownish bugs on the one edge where there happened to be no DE. I freaked out checked some birds, no signs of mites/lice. Then frantically...

    Ahh, the cucumber beetles are still horrible in my garden! When I look in one of my giant pumpkin flowers I'll see at least ten of them in there! Chickens are not doing a good job with controlling them. I've tried to hand feed them to the chickens and they just don't seem interested in eating...
