    Polish Thread!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Oh that's interesting. I didn't know their feathers would wear down. She is free range, but she doesn't really come out of the coop as much as the others. She is what they call "a big chicken". She won't go anywhere without her sister so if her sister runs out without her she will just hang...

    Polish Thread!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I am wondering the same thing. My poor girl got lost and ended up in the middle of the road the other day. Her sister, who is a frizzle and can actually see is like her little seeing eye dog. They are never apart, but for some reason they got separated and I think she wandered off trying to...

    Michigan Thread - all are welcome!

    I have a massive catalpa tree in full bloom right now. It looks as if my yard us covered with cotton balls from all the blossoms falling from the tree. It's really pretty, but I'm afraid we are going to lose it soon as it is a good 50-60 feet high and almost hollow with animals living inside...

    Michigan Thread - all are welcome!

    Any southwest Michiganders who would be interested in taking in a couple golden laced polish boys? They are about 11 weeks old and one of them has really nice lacing (I thought he was a hen until he suddenly started crowing and grew a pair of wattles). They are brothers from he same hatch and...

    9 week old Black Copper Marans...gender guesses please.

    Oh man...that stinks! My thoughts were this when I wad worried that they might both be roos. I thought, well...worst case scenario is I keep one and mate him to my Easter eggers to produce olive eggers that I can sell and then sell the other one off on Craigslist with that idea as the pitch for...

    9 week old Black Copper Marans...gender guesses please.

    Yeah, I already have two BA hens in my laying flock (thats why I was wanting the barred rocks...something a little different). They are wonderful layers and I will definitely keep them if they are hens. I just don't really want any roosters unless they are something special as a rooster. I...

    9 week old Black Copper Marans...gender guesses please.

    Oh wonderful news! That means double the amount of chocolate for my egg basket. I wasn't going to be too worried if I had one roo because I was going to introduce him to my Easter eggers for a chance at some olive egger chicks. I was really worried about Popper for a while because her comb was...

    The beginnings of a second coop...so far mostly upcycled.

    So, our first coop (the clean coops daisy design that you can see in these pics) was quite expensive to build, but I also think we needed the plans and to follow it exactly to feel like we knew what we are doing. Now, we are adding another coop for our newest flock members and have designed it...

    Polish Thread!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    And here is my other favorite, Ginger's sister Kimber, a smooth buff laced polish. Poor thing....as much as I love her 'do, I worry that she can't see very much at all.

    9 week old Black Copper Marans...gender guesses please.

    This is all I've got in the pics I took today. If there are other angles that are better, let me know and I can probably get some better ones tomorrow. This is Penny. And this is Popper.

    Polish Thread!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I am just so in love with this polish frizzle chick. I have two of them, but this one just has the sweetest personality and the coolest fluffy crest. I have been calling it Ginger and I think it's a girl because it has the skinniest little dainty legs I have ever seen on any of my chickens.

    These chicks are about 9 weeks old now. Any guesses on gender? I am hoping for at least one hen. Please please please!

    Barred Rocks with no bars?

    Yeah...neither of the chicks I've got have the spot. I just trusted the signage. Somebody thought they knew what they were doing when they put the sign on the bin. It was full of black chicks like these and little yellow chicks and the sign said Barred Rock Pullets and Cornish. I knew to...
