    This is a truly beautiful picture and a handsome bird. So nice to hear you take him places! It probably makes him so much more of a character.

    Cute chick names??

    No one understands how much fun we have with our chickens, let alone their personalities and how much time and thought we put into naming them. My rooster was at first thought to be a girl so I named her Anastasia after the character in 50 Shades of Gray! Turns out she was a he and the whole...

    I have a problem Rooster.

    This is wonderful information and makes absolute sense. I can't pick him up anymore (I'm short and he's big and heavy but I can carry a stick around and modify my behavior, certainly being more aggressive and not running away which is all I've done. I do love him and wouldn't hurt a feather on...

    I have a problem Rooster.

    I have 5 gorgeous, happy fat egg laying girls who love to visit and gossip with me. They enjoy a cuddle and everything is fine. My Cochin rooster is massive, handsome doesn't begin to describe his poster boy looks and he used to be a sweet little guy who would cuddle all day. Now even when I...

    New coop and new, mature chickens

    Sounds like you are doing everything right. Thought these were my two party girls till they got all flirty in the pool. One's a guy ! It's all good, hope we get babies. Romy got in the camera view, he's not all too sure he upholds with all the splashing. He's rather straight laced. (But loves a...

    New coop and new, mature chickens

    Excellent! If you feed them they will come! I know the idea is for them to forage but until they are totally comfortable with their surroundings and at ease leave them lots of water and a bowl of their food. This is great. Then you can get them used to feeding them twice a day a cup of grain...

    New coop and new, mature chickens

    All I can do is speak from my own experience I guess. We live on 3 acres. Our Chickens have the run of the place but they do get locked up at night because there are animals out there who will eat them. The girls put themselves to bed sometimes, or I put them down at dusk and lock them up...

    I have 2 Jersey Giants, A Wyandot, A Cochin and 2 Rhode Island Reds. Hands down The Reds win for being Chatty, funny, curious, girly girls. I wish I had a best friend like Sophia, she is fabulous. Good luck with with your two new additions! Alex

    New coop and new, mature chickens

    Are the chickens you are getting full grown or babies? if they are chicks it may be too cold to keep them outdoors now. If they are 4-6 months old you'll be OK. Leave the door open during the day so they can put them themselves to bed at dusk. Make sure you have a sturdy roosting bar with plenty...

    Toulouse Geese Thread

    Learning so much about geese from everyone (Congratulations to the fluffiest beauty who won the purple ribbon) Wonder if someone could help answer a question for me. I have two female Chinese Geese, we live in Northern Central Florida so the winters are not bitter. My chickens hen houses are...

    Toulouse Geese Thread

    You are so lucky. I just got an email back from Celtic Oaks Farm (where I was trying to buy goslings from) I' completely out of luck. Nothing doing until next year ! Does anyone know where I might buy two female goslings from? They would be raised on a 3 acre mini farm and loved dearly.

    Cute chick names??

    I was given the prettiest grey Cochin. So after the book "50 Shades Of Gray" I named her Anastasia. Turns out she is a magnificent 'He' so in keeping with the Russian theme, I renamed him Romanov. He suits his name, grows more loving every day and enjoys getting his feet washed every night...
