    White Crested Black Polish advice

    This morning at the Wolf Lake, Indiana swapmeet I got just 1 white crested black polish that is a female, or so we think. If I had known what mild mannered great pet chickens they were I would have gotten more! She perches on my hand and stays there or she sometimes lays in my lap and takes a...

    Wolf's Swap (Wolf Lake) 2012 Dates Kimmell, IN

I always do but this one was better because I found everything I wanted such as the right kind of dog muzzle, used good shape cheap bikes, a female silkie, rhoad island red pullet and an indian runner duck. I had hoped to find a...

    Leaving my chicks for the weekend!!!

    I know it seems scary to leave the babies for the 1st time. I fretted over it the 1st time. I keep my chicks in a 40 foot long covered chicken run/pen that is about 10 feet wide. It has plenty of shade in it along with a fairly large house with 2 heating lamps to use during the cold days. Each...

    Cornish Rock Egg Layers

    Who says Cornish rocks are only good for meat? They are WRONG! My 6 cornish rocks are now almost 6 months old and doing good. No health issues as of yet. One of the cornish rock hens recently started laying eggs but we did not know it was her until this morning. She lays big fat heavy double...

    Cornish Rock Pets And Others

    The cornish rocks are now 11 weeks old and doing good. They did not get real fat until week 8 when they grew real fast. That is also about the time I began cutting fresh grass and weeds daily to put in the chicken pen. It appears to make all the chickens grow fast not just the cornish rocks. The...

    Cornish Rocks Move Outside

    On Tuesday May 19, 2009 the cornish rocks spent their 1st night outside in the chicken pen. They were stinking up the house to much and getting big enough that they needed more room to roam about then what the bird cage could provide them. I kept them out there in a small dog kennel inside of...

    3 New Egg Layers Of 3 Breeds

    On Tuesday May 19, 2009 I found out from my really cool Vet that the small town co-op down the road was selling good egg laying breeds. I called them and sure enough they were. I rushed down there to get some. I only had enough money to buy 3 but I dont want lots of chickens anyways since we...

    Pre Chicken Days

    April 12, 2009. PRE-CHICKEN DAYS We havent had chickens since 2004 when a wild animal got them. For years we had chickens roaming free which was nice for the wallet because we only needed to buy feed in the winter time. But due to the wild animals and our cats and dogs it is sinceless for us to...

    Cornish Rock Chickens As Pets

    On May 6, 2009 I got 6 two day old chicks from TSC in Columbia City, Indiana. I had chickens on and off all of my life but never paid any attention to what kind they were. I now know that they were leghorns and road island reds and perhaps black stars that I always had. Which are all good egg...
