    Midnight Majesty Marans - Loudest Chick EVER

    I have a bantam mix that is the tiniest thing, literally the size of a robin, and she is absolutely THE LOUDEST older chicken I have. It's hysterical and I hope Lili quiets down as she gets older or we're gonna have some shouting matches in the coop. This is pic of her, her name is Agatha and...

    Midnight Majesty Marans - Loudest Chick EVER

    I have an 8 week old Midnight Majesty Marans that was raised by one of my broody bantams. She is THE LOUDEST chick ever. She just yells, mostly in the evening at roosting time, but sometimes at random times during the day, and will only settle when I pick her up and cuddle her or she is...

    FERMENTED FEEDS...anyone using them?

    Just wanted to come back and add some more info. I have changed the way I do my fermenting a bit. I have switched to Eden Feeds (a more local feed supplier that I love, and it is much more economical to feed) and I no longer use tap water as I realized that mine contains chloramine, which is...

    Oops! In my last post, they were actually 8 weeks old. Math is hard sometimes lol The girls are now 10 weeks old and still making chick noises, but I think that should be ending soonish. They are turning into beautiful young pullets and I am so happy to have them in my flock. They are...

    9 weeks. Sorry I missed 8 weeks, they are out with the rest of the girls and it’s harder to get good photos. Now that they have passed the ugly teenager stage, I can see that they do not have shredded feather, and they are going to be stunning birds. They are just such a pretty color, and the...

    6 weeks. I have them out with the big girls now, they are free-ranging in my little backyard during the day. Feathers are looking less ragged. I can see more barring? On their heads now as those feathers grow in more. The little crests they are getting are adorable, and I think they are...

    5 weeks. Crests are finally starting to show up. These girls are sweet and active. Continuing with the ugly teenager weeks. I am not sure if they have the shredder gene that can affect lavenders or if they just need to grow more.

    4 weeks. It’s getting harder to get good photos as they are crazy active now. Growing like weeds, super friendly. I was worried that Pearl might have been a roo, since her markings weren’t as clear as Opal’s, and I felt her comb was bigger, so I had her DNA-sexed and she is for sure female...

    3 weeks. They are starting the teenager weeks and it’s getting harder to get decent photos because they are so busy. The photo with three chicks is two Opals (the bottom one I am thinking may be a roo, will know in a few days as I sent out a sexing test) and a 2 week old Cream Legbar. You can...

    Premium Chicken Sand - The Perfect Sand for Your Chickens?

    I am so happy about this sand that I can’t stop singing its praises! I have had sand in my run since the beginning, using builders/concrete sand. It was ok but very dusty and I was just never that happy with it. Little to no dust. And I mean it. When I was pouring the bags out: no dust. When I...

    Review by 'The Bougie Coop' on item 'Dr. Naylor Blu-Kote'

    I don’t recommend this for your chickens as it is not a super effective product and only works on very few types of bacteria. I understand it has been “used for years”. We used to do bloodletting as a treatment for illness, too, but have moved on as we gained new and better knowledge. There...

    Reasonably Priced Auto-Door for Your Chooks

    This is a great auto-door for your chickens. It comes in two colors: orange and red. Reasonably secure, and no worries about injuring your chickens as it closes. It runs on either solar power (which charges the included rechargeable batteries), or it can be plugged into a wall outlet. Runs on...
