    Howdy, from Tillman's Corner!

    Until two years ago we had a nice little flock of aging, but productive, hens. Eventually they all passed on. Since then my health went a bit south and an enormous portion of an oak tree fell and crushed my chicken coup/tractor. (I liked that thing!) Anyhow, I feel it's time to get back...

    What is this chicken thinking?

    "See? I told you that air conditioning is wonderful. Now, one of you, lay me an egg!"

    White Crested Polish Pullets? Or is one a Roo?

    How heat tolerant are these birds?

    Blending Flocks

    I have six red sex links that are approx. 2 1/2 years old. I also have another small flock of six consisting of two cuckoo(sp?) marans, two buff orpingtons, and a single americanus & white silkie that are about 2 1/2 months old. When & how do I begin to integrate the flocks?

    Injured Bird

    My son was attempting to place the birds back in their coop when one hen went rogue. In the chase she 'zigged' just as he 'zagged' and they collided. She seemed fine at the time but this morning she was standing on one leg. I checked her feet, legs and joints up to the hips and could find no...

    ALABAMA!!

    If anyone has Silkies in the future I'd love to buy a couple. We are in Tillman's Corner and have six beautiful - and extremely productive - red sex link hens in a custom-built chicken tractor. Over the winter they turned my back yard into a scratched-up checkerboard made up of eight-foot...

    Returning a hen to the flock...

    A while back we had a hen manage to scratch & squeeze her way out of the tractor where our Spaniel got to her. She had some plucked areas and a couple of areas of torn skin . She is well on her way back to 100%. We attempted to re-introduce her back to her old flock friends, but within...

    When Cocker Spaniels Attack!

    Well, it was one Cocker, not multiples, and only one of my beloved hens and not all six. One of my Great Danes was out as well, but he has no interest in the birds. Apparently, one of my red sex link hens scratched her way out of the tractor at a low spot along the low rail, then tried to get...

    Whats the weirdest thing your chickens have eaten or tried to eat??

    Our girls get a fresh 8x8 foot section of yard every other day. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING in that section of yard is safe. Any mole traveling just under the surface is in for a very bad day! One our girls is a lazy sod, though, & would rather ride on the tortoise than walk...

    Silkie thread!

    Don't know if this is the correct thread for this, and we are truly newbies at raising chickens (but loving it!), so I've got to ask: Where can one buy Silkies? Just a few, mind you! No more than four or five, and preferably females. We aren't looking to breed, just enjoy.

    Silkie thread!

    That would be a decent price in my book, but I'm FAR from being an expert! Two other questions arise: Do you ship, and what are the shipping cost? We are just getting into BYC and my kids have become truly excited about it all. It's amazing because we operate an exotic animal rescue & they...

    ALABAMA!!

    Greetings from Tillman's Corner, (just west of Mobile)! As if the six kids (four still @ home), 2 Great Danes, Shih Tzu, Cocker Spaniel, 2 cats, Amazon Parrot, Savannah Monitor, Ball Python, Chinese Water Dragon, Mexican Fire-leg tarantula - and the Exotic Animal Rescue we operate weren't...
