    Oh boy, new chicks hatching from the chicken coop, 1st time parents!

    I haven't been able to get pics yet, I hope to do that when I get home today or at the latest this weekend. To answer your question, I wasn't about to get under her and move her or the eggs or the chicks when they hatched. She is an evil bird and I think she would peck my eyes out if she...

    Oh boy, new chicks hatching from the chicken coop, 1st time parents!

    Just an update here. We had another one hatch yesterday, but we had let them stay with the mother the first night and unfortunatly the black chick has come up missing, so at this point we have them in a brooder. This was so different this time. Actually watching nature unfold instead of just...

    well I didn't have my camera but the first little chick made it just fine...so far. We have no idea what it is, who it came from, or who its daddy is, as we have mixed bantams and standard size. But it is a a light silver color. I went to check on them last night and there was a second chick...

    since he did remove the shell, what is the likely hood that the chick will survive. I leave work in about 30 minutes and should be home 10 after 5. This is driving me nuts.

    aww I know, I'm really worried because he did remove a large part of the shell based on the vets orders ...like he knows anything. So I'm nervous that... well you know. But I will hope for the best.

    Hey Everyone. Its been awhile. Well on March 23rd I let one of my bantam hens set on 3 eggs, I put the date on them and just let her and them be. I hadn't really been keeping track of how long ago that was and to be honest I didn't really think it would work, so I hadn't really made a plan...

    Jersey Giants ~ Buff Orps ~ Red/Blk Stars

    If I knew what I know now, I would have filled my chicken house with only red stars. they are the most personable and are great layers, every day same time. They even lift up for me when its time to collect the eggs.

    School fundraisers are evil....

    I'm not really fan of them I understand the mixed feelings. My school did the certificate booklet when I was a senior and it helped pay for a function the school had the night we graduated, called Project Graduation. It was a way for us all to have fun but to stay safe as well. It was an over...

    New Chicks

    Have your chicks come yet. That is always the most exciting day to me. I usually have my nephew with me. He loves it.

    advice needed for wild momma cat

    I've had that happen, we try to keep them away from the trap but its hard when you have barn cats. After yours have been caught a few times they tend to catch on and stay away. I know thats not the ideal plan, but eventually you will catch that mamma. Kudos for getting her fixed.

    34 week old Golden comets and no eggs

    Any luck yet? My chickens have been on strike for the last month or so. This morning one of them finally laid an egg she was praised (i know i know) and loved on for her good work. hopefully the rest will follow suit. I hope they start laying soon, I know how frusterating that is.

    I just got hit up for one today too, cookies all kinds. Now I know why my mom disliked them so much when we were little.

    Grossest thing I've seen the chickens eat yet

    Mine got ahold of a mouse they found in their feed bin over the weekend, we had a bit of rain and I guesst the little guy went into the bin to stay dry. He was better off stuck out in the rain.
