    Caramel Queen......is what they are called in the Lower Mainland....what do you know them by?

    I have 3 Caramel Queens that were originally from True North, I got them when they were older so not sure how old they were when they started laying. I love how dark their eggs are.

    Here is our newest addition our son made for me. I call it Cliff's Chicken Tractor. Inside there is a perch, a hanging feeder and a hanging waterer. He put a magnet on the bottom of the pop up door so I can pull it open from the outside and at night when I release the wire it closes and stays...

    I am on a Facebook site call BC Backyard/Hobby Poultry Growers. It's for us smaller flock owners. As much as I like this site, the BC site is helpful for buying, selling and trading locally. There may be something like this for Alberta as well...I have learned so much from here and the BC site.

    I like your idea of a broody pen. I would love to see a picture of how you did it

    Until you move on to larger pastures it sounds like you make very good use out of the space you do have.

    Speaking for myself, DH is Dear Hubby...although occasionally it's dumb, but I'm sure he says the same thing about me (hopefully only occasionally) :/ As far as what we wish we knew before, this chicken math...we keep adding chicks but the housing as well. Our one fairly large coop has an...

    Things You Wish You Would Have Known?

    Mine did the same thing the first time I put them outside for the day in a dog exercise pen. I turned around as they were walking right through the bars. I hadn't noticed the outside bars of each panel have a little more space, I was shocked they fit through. If I wasn't there at the time I'd be...

    Things You Wish You Would Have Known?

    lol, I went through this, now we have an auto door opener that doesn't open until 8 o'clock (mine don't seem to be early risers, lol), by then they have done their egg laying. I think I wouldn't have minded so much if I also found a broody hen on the eggs but Noooo, they were just sitting...

    Things You Wish You Would Have Known?

    I was going to ask this question too. I have 2 eight week old pullets. During the day I have been putting them in a 36" high dog exercise pen, inside our chicken run. Today I was alerted by a ruckus and ran over. One of the little girls had got out and the hens were pecking her. My roo was in a...
