    Hey all, long time no see....or rather read. My hubby is pretty interested in those Runners. He also wanted to know if you can eat them when they are done producing. He likes the idea of ducks over chickens it seems. -_-; Firewifejess! Good luck with your brooder!

    I'm going to try and make it to the Monroe show. It's really up to the hubby and if he can get time off.

    Wow, over 300 posts to catch up on. Been visiting family in Port Angeles....where there is NO internet and sometimes cell reception. In other words, it was perfect. Great company, drinks, food and football! My husband and I couldn't have been happier. I loved seeing the pictures from...

    My my, I'm gone for a few days and there are over 200 posts! You all are a bunch of clucking hens. ;) Anyway, while walking to downtown Bham I walked past a lovely house with a lovely garden and chicken coop. I thought I saw a BR in the run the first time I walked by, but on my way home (as...

    Quick question.....are Plymouth Barred Rocks and Barred Rocks the same? Are they different? I thought that BR was just a short way of referring to Plymouth Barred Rocks....or is that not correct? Thanks!

    Hey everyone! I just called Pam Buck at Raincreek. Super personable, and helpful! She says that if I get chicks from her, they would be two days old (being vaccinated) and it would be straight run (just learned what that means). How many chickens should I get with the best possibility of...

    Hey everyone! I've been looking up more breeds. Q: Anyone have Australorps or have a strong opinion (one way or the other) about them? I think I may start with BR and Black Stars. Australorps seem pretty difficult to get ahold of in WA...and they are HUGE! As much as a I love EE's...

    My husband says it will take about a day. He's worked construction/contracting/finish work most of his life. He says that you need to find an alternative place for the chickens for a least a day. If you keep it well ventilated, you can probably have them roost the following evening. Remember...

    I love you CarolynF. Your quality of information is priceless and gives me a lot to mull over. Cooking is quickly becoming a favourite hobby of mine. I will definitely try this recipe. It will be perfect for those cool, wet Northwest springs. I'll check out the sex links. I've seen lots of...

    Thanks again everyone! I guess I need to provide more information about why I want chickens so that you all can help me out more. I know I'm asking for a lot of help, but I prefer to get it right (as I can) the first time. I really am looking for reliable egg layers first and pets second...

    The inside were tinged green....I actually made the joke that maybe I should get some ham to cook with it. The shells looked normal.....varying hues between brown and white.
