    Things young chickens should be taught?

    Awwww....yup. You are trained. Us too. Sunshine comes to the door to hint about treats from the kitchen. If they are stuck in the run, mrs. Cluck will make a racket, and sunshine will follow us back and forth from the hen house to the run...ah hem...treats please! Usually get their way. We are...

    Things young chickens should be taught?

    We have been really lucky with our rock bantams. The Roos are so nice. If they get naughty, we just threaten to pick them up, kiss and hug them. Eeeeek! I'll be good...I'll be good..... They are well handled, because if we want to bring them to the fair to show, they have to be well mannered...

    Do hens get broody in the winter?

    Saw this post just now, did she snap out of her Broodiness when there weren't eggs to sit on? Our one girl is pretty persistent, but I don't want her to spend her energy, or have a pile of babies in the dead of winter...Jan! I don't care even if she stops laying. She needs to keep herself warm.

    Is she a gold laced Wyndacotte?

    So true. She actually would be giving back, since we hatched her I the incubator, but then snuck her under Penelope at a day old. Boogie doesn't know she is different. She just figures she is one of the PR flock.

    Is she a gold laced Wyndacotte?

    Ah, more than likely she is a Heinz 57. I'm just glad she seems to be a girl. She really is a sweetheart. If she was a roo, bye bye. We will love her to pieces, and her little nest gifts. If she goes broody, well....we may sneak one of the other girl's eggs under her. We really weren't...

    Is she a gold laced Wyndacotte?

    Whatever she is, we think she is pretty. Jury is out for whatever she is. Hoping that the colours stay! She has cool penciling like our Partridge Rock Bantams, of course she is a bigger girl, but a neat little thing. Where she came from, there was some RIRs, some Wyndacotte, etc... Maybe the...

    Is she a gold laced Wyndacotte?

    She is a surprise chicken. We took her home from a farm near us as an egg, and the kids put her in the incubator. Voila!!! Boogie arrived twenty three days later. I've been told she is a gold laced Wyndacotte pullet, but she has blue legs. Any ideas???

    Our roo Fred is a sweetie too! He really was coming into his own by 6-7 months. Now he is going into mid summer and replacing feathers already, so he isn't looking quite as sexy...

    Rescue kittens, Dawn Dish Detergent, and Fleas

    From what I understand, any soap including sunlight and dawn, is deadly for any insect which breathes through its thorax. Breathing through its undercarriage. So when it skittles through water, it is okay, but sudsy soap actual plugs them up and they die from asphyxiation. Try it on a nest of...
