    Auntie Chicken?

    Hi all, Since about April I had two chickens (RR and NHR) go broody. They sat on their eggs but would usually abandon them at some point, resetting the incubation process. But last week the NHR finally hatched a chick and has since taken up her duties as momma. However, what is perplexing me...

    Ct Henhouses Chicken Coop

    Here's my chicken coop. Sorry, I don't have any work in progress pics, I'm notoriously bad at doing that. In the photo to the left, you will see I have used an old dog kennel for my run. Although it can't be seen in the pic, I have wrapped the lower half of the kennel with chicken wire to...

    Cross breeding with Araucana Roo

    Alright, now I have a game plan thanks to you kind folks. Thank you very much. I told my friend I'd pass on the roo, she was understanding to my reason.

    Cross breeding with Araucana Roo

    Thank you for the very informative and insightful response. I was kind of leaning to that way of thinking, you just confirmed it. I'll take your advice and hunt on craigslist and my local feed store. The nice thing about roos is not many people want them, so they shouldn't be hard to come by.

    Cross breeding with Araucana Roo

    I have some NH and Prod. Reds and some PR's. I've wanted a roo since I got them, but since none of the chicks I had originally gotten developed into roos, I've been on the hunt for a roo. A friend of mine has an Araucana roo she's looking to get rid of and asked if I wanted it. Since my original...

    Getting free rangers to use box

    Hi everybody, I'm sure this may have been asked before. I did a search but found nothing, so my apologies if this topic has been covered. If so, please feel free to send me the link. Ok, so my cousin gave me two chickens (RR and PR) to add to my flock. Well, they are free ranging, and I...

    My CT Henhouse

    Well, I finally finished building the coop and run. I only have this one pic so far, I'm notorious for not chronicling work in progress. The henhouse is 8'x8', with the peak vents, soffits and ridge vent (sorry, it's cropped out of this pic), so I should have plenty of ventilation for the...

    Here's my first girls

    I got my first batch of chicks on Saturday. Very exciting, my 5 yr old daughter had a blast naming them. Loving the little chicks, though being new to this I find myself getting concerned when they sleep, which seems like odd positions to me. But they seem to be comfortable sleeping head first...
