    Silkie colors?

    I recently acquired 4 Silkie chicks, and I’m curious what color two of them might turn out to be. The hatchery claims that any of the following colors could be received: white, black, blue, splash, lavender, buff or partridge. I’m leaning towards blue and partridge for these two...what do you...

    Help with mysterious wound

    I have 4 10 month old laying hens. Today I noticed that two of them have similar wounds. On one hen the wound is located on the underside between the vent and the legs, on the other it is located slightly below and to the left side of the vent. The vent does not appear to be affected in anyway...

    Permit in Nebraska

    Thanks for the suggestion! I used your idea and found the APA. I have contacted the representative for NE to see if he knows if membership with them will fulfill the requirement. I haven't heard back yet, but I did see that the APA provides the awards for the Open Class poultry show at the NE...

    Coop Questions

    Thanks for the input! I was able to contact someone from the City today to help clarify some of the rules. I think my plan will be to build a large open air pen which will enclose the pre-fab coop and have an additional covered area and laying boxes along one side. This would give the hens the...

    Coop Questions

    Permit in Nebraska

    Thanks for the suggestion, but I don't know anyone with children. I did wonder if entering a bird in the open class of the county fair would count though. That might actually be fun!

    Permit in Nebraska

    Hello all, Has anyone gotten a chicken permit recently in Bellevue, Nebraska? I want to apply for a permit so that I can start a small flock in the Spring of 2018. The ordinance seems pretty straightforward except for the part about keeping hens solely for the purpose of livestock exhibition...

    Introduction

    (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? I have been around chickens owned by others, and have always wanted some of my own. (2) How many chickens do you have right now? I don't have any right now, but I am hoping to obtain a permit in my city and start my flock in the...
