    First visit to "big girl house"

    Yeah my beagles are awesome. If you're referring to me in my OP it's actually father & son lol. The mom gave me quite the look when we brought them home (I guess I didn't mention the part about not informing her of our plans) but she's coming around... :)

    That sounds like one of the easiest enclosures I've heard of. Way to go with the helpless look!

    Love that design! That would make an excellent outside enclosure you can move around. I think I'm going to look into that.

    First visit to "big girl house"

    Yes, I understand. My son was in the coop with them and thought they were all in the other corner and he backed up and stepped on one. Thankfully it went quick but man, my son cried about three different times that night as he felt so bad. That was the first time I've heard him cry in a long...

    What is this one???

    This one is so laid back & calm that I've been worrying there is something wrong with it... It has a totally different attitude than the others but appears healthy so far.

    What is this one???

    Thank you. I was hoping to find a week old one so that it would be more in line with the others as I wanted to move them to their outside coop soon and didn't want to hold the others up while I waited for this one. They original 5 really like the coop when I take them out there for a while...

Now to find out how good of a layer they are & if it will fit in with the RIR's I already have. So far she (I hope) appears to be very docile but we've only had her a...

    What is this one???

    Anyone know what this may be? It looks like it has little tufts growing out the side of it's head... Thank you!

    First visit to "big girl house"

    Last Wednesday my 8 year old & I decided to quit talking about it and go get six one day old chicks. The have been in his room in the brooder for the past 5 days but yesterday we decided to get to work on their permanently coop. We spent almost all day between buying materials and building it...

    Rhode Island Red Thread!

    Yes, very helpful. Thank you. So we gave them some grit the last two days and today they got their first taste of mealworms. It looked to me like they would rather run around chasing each other than eat them though... It was pretty comical. I know a question was asked about color and I...

    Rhode Island Red Thread!

    I just picked up 6 one day old Rhode Island Reds two days ago and we are having a blast with them. My 8 year old has been pestering me for some time to get them so we went to the local feed store and picked them up. We wanted egg producers and something that was hardy so we went with them...
