    Official BYC Poll: How Important Is It That You Get Eggs From Your Chickens?

    I got them as an organic pest control to my expanding garden. Also as a great way to teach my kids about responsibility. I'm an avid baker so I'm curious how much better the eggs will taste in my confections.

    Follow up on my dog who killed my 7 week old barred rock.

I'm a city girl with a country heart and now in the hill country of Texas I'm able to realize my sweet dreams of having a cottage/farm. After I watched my dog attack one of the chicks that I had so...

    My dog killed my 7 week old Barred Rock. 😞

    Yesterday my German Shepherd ran out and crunched down on one of my 7 week old chicks. This was the second day of them outside in their chicken coop. I bought 5 chicks and prepared myself the best I could that a few would not survive. My sweet Barred Rock! I've been a city girl turned country...
