    Review by '' on item '11 lb Plastic Hanging Feeder'

    This feeder is the only chicken I have. The other feeder I use is a cat/dog automatic feeder type thing. If the chickens are out and about they do not use the feeder at all, unless it is sitting on the ground, then they just scratch the food and then it may be wasted by the rain and droppings...

    Review by '' on item 'Rhode Island Red'

    We named out rhode island "Sunny" when she was a little yellow ball of fluff. Sunny has been my favorite chicken until she recently started pecking people's feet. I now wear boots to avoid this. Other than that, she is very friendly and will let me pet her. She is smart and thankful for the...

    Review by '' on item 'Easter Eggers'

    I greatly enjoy having my Araucana easter eggers. I have three, as babes one was white, one brown, and one black. They have changed and it's very neat to watch them grow. They are very curious little creatures with strong personalities. Mine are not full size yet and have not started laying...

    Super Cute! I wish we had taken pictures from start to finish. We plan to move this year, and I hope to get more chickens, so hopefully a new coop :) I've always loved the coops that look like houses. Great job, and BEAUTIFUL garden!! Way to go!

    We currently have nine hens. I started out my journey of backyard chicken keeping at the beginning of 2011, with three chickens. Two of them ended being roosters and getting rid of them was a lot harder than I thought it would be. I had fallen in love with chickens and I hope to move to a...

    UPDATE on my birds ~ Pretty sure I got the breeds figured out. Australorp mixed with barred rock and rhode island red probably also mixed with barred rock. I can't wait to get more hens! I think I'm going to try some easter eggers The two black ones have greenish blue tint to them now and the...

    i would really love to keep them if they were roosters just for the experience, but i don't think they are welcome here! i would really hate to give them up as well. i hope i get more responses, it would be great to know what people thought about these three little lovelies!

    Quote: There is an iguana in the background of this pic in case anyone was wondering The chickens don't even recognize her as a living thing.. they try to perch on her tail and everything. What a strange thing, I thought!

    Everytime I feed them they try to eat out of my hand, it's so sweet I think they really like me, and I REALLY like them, so i'm REALLY hoping for hens! We have a small space, close to neighbors, and I don't think a roo would be welcomed by any of us! Especially since I like to sleep in I got...

    Quote: I thought they were black sex link~ I guess i'm not totally lost. And that is what we want- lots and lots of eggs! I am so happy to think they are hens~ I do as well, but I'm scared! Lol I saw some pics of some black sex link hens that seemed to have larger combs than the males, so I...

    I thought I should post a pic of the brown ones back feathers, just in case it is needed. I'm pretty sure she is a hen. She is the nicest one and "talks" to me the most.

    Need help with Gender/Breed Identification

    Please help! I have two that came out of the specialty bin and one, the brown one, that came out of the pullet bin. I checked their vents throughout their little lives and have not seen anything that points to roo, but the older they get, the more suspicious I become. I hope these...
