Anyone know where i could buy a cupola in central PA? Got a chicken weathervane for my coop last year and it is still not installed. Thanks!

When I discovered my 2 black Cochin banties were sitting in a nest with 14 eggs, I was shocked. I had no idea which were old and which were fresh. So I gathered the eggs and hens into a basket and gave them a spot in my side of the big coop. I have hatched using the incubator, but I enjoyed this...

I also drove 3 hours to get to the fair this morning. By noon we were ready to get some lunch. What a disappointment! Four booth choices which included $12.00 hamburgers and $3.00 sodas. Harvey Usserys' talk and slides on chickens in the garden was very informative and I found it very useful...

I live in Centre County PA and we insulated the walls and ceiling and very glad I did. I used a heat lamp on really cold nights and between that and the chickens giving off heat, the temps went no lower than 33 degrees all winter. With the cooling off at night now, and keeping the door shut...

I love the colors of my Buff Brahmas and Red Cochins. Hiding in the middle is a Black Tail Buff Japanese.

Ours is 12 x 18 as shown on left of pic. There is a pull up ramp underneath, operated from a hook and nylon rope. My birds were all full-size hens and had no problems with it. I also used a plastic container filled with sand, sitting on top of it at night. They used it for dusting themselves...

A Speckled Sussex and a Gold-Laced Wyandotte would brighten up the flock!

Can hardly wait to see this little Cochin/Naked Neck all grown up!

Quote: I love it! I have 2 white silkies and several Naked Necks. I feel a project coming on.

I hatched this banty Frizzle Cochin/Naked Neck chick from shipped eggs on April 16. So homely it's cute!

Just adorable! I have a black one named Happy because everyone that sees her gets a smile on their face.

Quote: It is a straight comb, very small. I am assuming it is a bantam since my order was for bantams.

This is my 2 1/2 week old baby. Any guesses on breed? Thanks!

I got 3 D'uccles that turned out to be 2 girls and a boy. Also got 2 white silkies, a boy and a girl. The sixth chick died the next day and I don't know what it was.

Here is an updated photo of the Naked Neck/Cochin that hatched this morning. Nine have hatched, 2 more pips and one egg just sitting there. So exciting!
