    My Introduction!

    WC! I bought some chicks from TSC last year and one turned out to be a white silkie Batam hen. She laid tiny little white eggs, so cute. Watch out Silkies are very broody, I had to break her broodiness a couple of times. A month ago, I finally let her sit on her own eggs, 6 out of 6 hatched...

    new to raising chicks could use some advice !

    I started my flock a year ago so I understand the anxiousness of a newbie. I had similar experience with the pasty bottom last year also. Warm water paper towel and slowly softened the poop as twist it off will do the trick. I have to recommend against the hamster water bottle. Hamsters lick...

    The wife got me good

    The TSC near my house brought their chicks out yesterday. Of coure, I rushed there right after work. My DH went along and we picked up 4 little Egyptian Fayoumi. So glad they carry not just the RIR and sex links. They are small but cute.

    My chicken got attacked by a hawk

    Arizona Chickens

    I'm having chickens for the first time this year and I started in March. I'm in Rio Verde. I didn't do anything special, I provided them with plenty of shades and water and food. They did OK for their first summer. Also, certain breeds are more heat tolerant than others.

    Bobcat attacks, need advice

    Thank you everyone for your good wishes and advice. We put a run together 20'x10' for 5 chickens now, it's a bit of an overkill but we are hoping to have more chickens soon. You are right about the bobcat returning. We lost a couple of chickens a month ago and we thought it was the hawks but...
